Coach Mulkey Health Scare

Wow, this happened to me about 3 years ago. Felt pressure on my chest while on vacation. Thought it was COVID. Got back home and called my PCP to get a check up. They sent me to the ER and had 2 99% blockages, and they inserted stents. Lucky to be alive.

I was having chest pains and went for a CAT scan as I have electrical heart problems. They found a artery in my abdomen with a dissection and aneurysm that needed 4 stents. I was about to pop.

Thank God she is okay.

A memo needs to be distributed to the SEC officials that she has a medical excuse for holding up her middle finger.

In 2018, I had a total hip replacement in January, ending 3 years of severe pain. As I rehabbed by walking, I developed occasional nausea, then vomiting with increased walking distance. Months later, it morphed into chest pain. I knew what it was. In December 2018, I underwent cardiac catheter surgery for 2 each 100% blockages and one 90% blockage. I now have three stents in my arteries.
I went on to lose 71 pounds over the next 18 months and I feel fine today.
I hope it continues.

It’s shocking to me that someone with the kind of money Kim Mulkey has does not get screened for that. I’m 60 and for the last 10 years I get an annual physical that is extensive. It screens for everything obvious. And every three years I get a scan that shows the percent blockage (indirectly by looking at calcium).

I had similar thoughts about Kobe Bryant flying around in a helicopter with a single pilot and 30 year old avionics with no synthetic vision. He was saving $400,000 per year and taking radical risks with the lives of himself and his family.

So glad she's okay! We see these examples all the time.

Lost a friend at only 35 from sudden cardiac death; atherosclerosis, the Widow Maker. Leading killer of men and women in the U.S. with few symptoms until it's too late. Mortality over 600,000 per year in the U.S. Need routine physical with blood work for LDL/HDL of course and triglycerides (lipids which cause the blockages). Found him Christmas Eve in his bed, only son. 89% blockage, really awful and preventable with meds/diet.

The calcium check for aortic valve health is usually not covered by insurance but is only around $150.

Go to a good doctor and get checked out. Life is too short already. God bless!
