Hi, I am 51 years old and just had stress test (nuclear) at VA my injection infraction 42. Two years ago tread mill test was 50. I had recent pain 3 months ago in chest. I thought gas since I had it years before and figured acid. I was suppose to get hammer toe surgery Friday, I also am scheduled to see specialist. Would they operate still? I want it fixed. What would be life style situation to cause heart issues. I am very active and exercise.
Hello dear, thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. Following are the lifestyle situation which causes heart issues.1. Age (age more than 55)2. Strong family history3. Stress and anxiety4. Type A personality5. Hypertension and diabetes6. Obesity and dyslipidemia7. Sedentary lifestyle etc. Since you are active and doing exercise, I don't think they will post pone surgery. Toe surgery is done mostly under local anesthesia.  So no Hardin it. Better to consult cardiologist after surgery. At present no need to worry much. Get done surgery.
