Comments:
I'm better than I was 3 months ago I thought I was going to die every day then. I used aspirin for my impending heart attack every day/night have stopped that. I'm on beta blockers and the heart worry has gone mostly but has been replaced by breathing, headaches and stomach pain worries! Currently going through a hernia/appendicitis phase.
