heart stain surgery - #19113
I am really worried about this whole heart stain surgery thing that was recommended after my last checkup. I mean, my doctor said it's needed because of some tests showing blocked arteries or something, and it's been on my mind nonstop since then. Just last week, I felt this weird pain in my chest and got super lightheaded out of nowhere while walking my dog. Scared the life outta me! So, I went in for more tests, and that's when they brought up this heart stain surgery stuff. But like, what even is heart stain surgery? Is it like a bypass or something? They said it could really help me, but I’ve read mixed things online, and I dont' really know who to trust. Also, what does recovery look like? I've got two kids and a job that demands a lot of me, and I just don’t know if I can take time off for this heart stain surgery. Ugh! How long would I need to be out for it, and will the pain come back after or what? Anyone been through it? What are the real risks here? I need some clarity!
