Otherwise normal arteries, healthy cholesterol levels, healthy blood pressure, etc. The docs think I must have inherited it considering I was diagnosed about 25 years earlier than the average. Most develop the disease between the ages of 51 and 57. I began having the first minor symptoms in 2002, when I was 26. The symptoms became severe in 2003, but I was misdiagnosed with gastric reflux disease. I had my first m.i. and developed an arrythmia in 2004, when I was finally diagnosed. It took more than a year and nearly 10 med changes to get me stable, although I'm still at a pretty high risk due to the combination of two medicines required to treat me. (It is advised that they not be taken within 24 hours of each other, even for a one-time dose. I take them both every day, 12 hours apart. This unfortunately, increaes my risk of sudden death.)I'm now 30.Melindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16138968066861006638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20937130.post-1155616714403897402006-08-15T00:38:00.000-04:002006-08-15T00:38:00.000-04:00Do you also suffer from coronary artery stenosis.....Do you also suffer from coronary artery stenosis...you can tell I've been googling can't you? :)Ellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12030909492485944628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20937130.post-1155091819391305832006-08-08T22:50:00.000-04:002006-08-08T22:50:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
