He just let me know they are letting him come home today. :D
Thanks for the good wishes. They are changing his meds some but that's to be expected.

So what was the diagnosis, after all the poking and sticking?

Angina & high blood pressure but we knew that already. They are changing his meds dosage, then will decide next appt. if he needs an angiogram. He was already seeing a heart doc, so none of this is a real surprise.

I'm glad that he is okay to be home but he is a Very Cranky patient :he He is hating that his body is not able to do anything he wants it to. I hope this stage passes soon.

Doc found out that hubby was very low on potassium. Looked it up and the symptoms of deficiency really fit with the stuff that was recently happening. It probably caused the angina.
He is improving. :)

Yeah, it's important to have a good balance of sodium and potassium. Too much or too little of either can cause muscle cramps and heart arrhythmia. I remember that from pre-med.
