    Heart problems
    Heart related. I have 2 stents. Blood pressure was up this morning, running in the 140's over 90's. Pulse was in the 90's. I took an aspirin and a nitro. Pulse has dropped back into the 70's, bp is 112/81. Am I having an episode?

    An episode of what angina or heart attack or something else? Please be specific.

    It's hard to say for certain if it's an MI, do you have any pain? A kreatine kinase level is needed to say for certain.

    I was thinking heart attack, but I don't know the difference. Guess I'll be heading to the hospital.
