    Went to cardiologist this morning. They ran another EKG and there was no sign of abnormality; it was probably misplaced leads at the family doctor.

    They diagnosed my very very tiny chest pain as a local muscle-related issue, mostly due to the mildness, the lack of pain when I breathed in deep or exercised and the fact that I could pinpoint it with my finger.

    To be safe, I pushed for and got an echocardiogram scheduled next week and am waiting for a callback to schedule a CT angiography.

    @LosPollosHermanos ASCVD was 5.2%, Borderline borderline. I imagine it will come down once I get the cholesterol under control.

    This is me exactly. Looking for a change because I do far too much compared to my salary and title. They know my value. I put my two weeks in a year ago and they threw money and commission at me to stay. Boss said she’s been waiting on me for years. So, it’s time to pony up again or I’m out.

    I’m 50 now, I’ve been putting off my colonoscopy and yadda yadda yadda. I need to go get a full check up.

    Hope all is well with you, @Xerobull
