Personal update: Lyricdancer's procedure is done and she's back in her room. They found one blocked artery and placed a stent there, so her going to the hospital when she had symptoms instead of gritting it out, plus physicians who didn't stop at "nope, you're not having a heart attack" and instead got proactive about figuring out what really was going on may have prevented a future heart attack. Yay!

Update on Lyricdancer's health: as before, normal EKG, normal treponins, normal other bloodwork. Given that her month-old angiogram showed all vessels open (besides the one that got the stent), she was released early this afternoon. Still no idea why she had/partly still has chest pain, fatigue, and dizziness. Hopefully a good night's rest and an attentive husband will make everything right.
@msbellows 🙏 Hope all goes well at the ER!!
Well, crud. Just like a couple weeks ago, Lyricdancer awoke this morning with left chest pain that was alleviated by nitroglycerin, then returned, so even though she *just* had a stress test, an angiogram, and a new stent, her cardiologist's nurse sent her back to the E.D., so here we are again. What fun.
On the bright side, she promises not to die today, so at least that's off the table!
