They just advised me to lose weight.Normally it is 190 and now up to 225. February 19 2016 ,I got stuck in the bathtub and it took about 20 minutes to get out.Could only walk a few paces without sitting down. Obtained Anthem insurance and  checked into hospital. Now up to 252 pounds.They ran tests and determined my heart was failing. Cardiac cath the next day found arteries ok( almonds eaten almost every day )HDL 79, LDL100.Hospitalized for 9 days with meds and new diet got me to 185 lbs.

Nowadays I read every food label available before ingesting food and drinks.Of course I cheat sometimes but am down to 159 pounds.I 'm 5-11, height wise and 64 years old.
A version of the flu got me in November of 2015 and possibly weakened my heart.I never had flu shots before, but now get them in September .

Glad you guys are all OK NOW.

Thanks man....yeah...gotta read those labels. I have adopted a predominantly whole food diet. I have a carbmaster yogurt, an apple, and a banana every morning...a salad for lunch. We use turkey burger for everything besides when we actually eat a burger, which is rare. Even when I cheat my diet....I try to make sure what I eat is not processed. I think that shit is really what is getting folks these days. Processed foods are so full of bad shit. I also switched from margarine to straight butter after my episode. Screw all this man-made shit. Margarine is one chemical compound away from plastic....no joke.  Imagine what THAT does in your arteries.
