My Angiogram 16th March 2007

I was born fat. I've been fat all my life. There was never a day that I was thin. My weight was over 100kg even when I was 12 years old, and at that time I was already 5 foot 4 inches tall. Now I'm 5 foot 7 inches tall, weight 110kg. I was 132kg last 2005. I went on a diet and jog daily, and for almost a year I lost 31kg. But after that, the weight just won't go lower, I don't know why. What I do know is that all that can go to hell!!!!!!!!!!!

I didn't jog anymore now. On 16th March 2007, I was jogging as usual at 6.30am at the field in UTP when I got chestpains. I could not breathe. I quickly got home, changed and went off to work. I thought it will be over but it didn't, it kept getting sharper and more painfull, I felt like I want to cry. Luckly, on of the Director in my office suggested I went to Ipoh Specialist and see his Cardiologist. He even gave him a call and told him that I'm coming. I got to the hospital, did all the test and failed them all, then the doc said I had to go for an angiogram.

See that? That's what my heart looked like during the angiograms. It was performed to visualize the blood in the coronary arteries. A long, thin, flexible tube called a catheter is used to administer the x-ray contrast agent at the desired area to be visualized. The catheter is threaded into an artery in my right forearm, and the tip is advanced through the arterial system into one of the two major coronary arteries. X-ray images of the transient radiocontrast distribution within the blood flowing within the coronary arteries allows visualization of the size of the artery openings. As you can see in the picture, mine is perfectly fine. No blockage... YIPPEE!!!!!!

Though docs says my heart is alright, he did say that my chestpains were due to stress. Well, I am kinda stressed up lately. My job seems to be more demanding and my studies are really killing me. Can you imagine, my first semester in UiTM and I already gone down 'angio'-ing myself. I got 5 years to go ya!!! Pray hard that I'll be alright.
