Night before last, our nephew, age 47, smoker, not overweight, was taken to the hospital with weakness and profound sweating. A cardiac blockage was diagnosed from a scan and yesterday, the procedure was "done." Except that when they got to where the blockage was supposed to be, there was none! What? How could that be? They sent him home last night, telling the nephew that he obviously has to give up smoking. Has anybody heard of such an experience?
Unless anyone who is responding is a physician, all comments are anecdotal, including mine.
Smoking is a killer. Not only the obvious cancer risk, but the less obvious cardio-vascular risk.
Your nephew continues to smoke and kills himself, or stops smoking and allows his body to start healing.
