I did something unusual today...I actually went to the doctor! lol  I really dislike going to the doctor, so this was a pretty big step for me.  Our local hospital was hosting a "healthy heart screening" program (at greatly reduced rates) and I signed up.  I have a VERY strong family history of heart disease, have had high blood pressure for probably 20 years, and was recently told I have high cholesterol.  Those things put me into a high risk category and a prime candidate for this type of screening.  I had an EKG and blood tests done today, and will go for a CT calcium scan next week.
