Chuck had his doctor appointment today and everything is good. His blood test results from two weeks ago was really good. The doctor did an EKG today and said it was good as well.
It seems that the problems he has been having are a result of his hernia. The hernia is what causes the spasms when eating certain foods. The doctor thinks that the hernia flared up as a result of the pizza that night. When the hernia spasms it chokes off the esophagus which causes the pain in his chest.
The iron that he has been taken is also causing some of the stomach problems so he is taken his off for now. He has him set up for a monthly blood test so he can see what happens without the iron and keep a watch.
I may not have explained everything here that well but the bottom line is that it wasn't a heart attack and that his blood is really good right now. Actually better than it has been in a long time. So with the monitoring of the blood on a monthly basis and taking the previcid for the hernia well see how he does.
