Dad is my WHY.
Watching my dad experience the effects of heart disease had a profound effect on me. Living with high anxiety and stress, he experienced many of the text book symptoms of heart disease; high blood pressure, shortness of breath, fatigue and tingling sensations. For the last 10 plus years of his life, his hereditary heart issues required the placement of 15 different stents, a pace maker, and ever-changing medications.
Being a part of his journey for so many years, you grow accustomed and sometimes complacent to the symptoms and concerns. While life is busy and hectic, it’s important to slow down and take every occurrence seriously. You never know which of the minor side effects could be the initiation of a major heart attack. Don’t be a victim to the ‘I wish I would have’ statement.
