This is all a joke, when your time is up you are going. I had 3 heart attacks in 1986 and would not sign for a by-pass. I did have considerable pain. some 20 years later I got a hernia and before they would operate I had to go thru (I believe) every kind of test possible on my heart and I was cornered - before they would operate on my hernia I was required to have a double by-pass in 2005 I am presently in my 80"s and feel pretty good. Since the heart attacks  I exercise 3 times a week and because I became pre- diabetic about 3 years ago I have lost 61 pounds down to my body index weight. (I was told I should lose 10 pounds), I did a lot of reading and my decision was to go to my body index weight. I control pre diabetes by diet and exercise, no medicine for it. I do take a beta blocker, a coated asperin 325 mg and a lite dose of Lisinopril daily. At my own decision I take CQ 10 daily because I had angina after I had the heart attacks.
