re: #102 Eclectic Cyborg

Illinois requires an EKG (ECG) prior to any surgeries.

I was scheduled for sinus surgery and so had the procedure.

Was then informed that I wasn’t cleared for surgery and had been scheduled for an appointment with one of the top cardiologists in the area, who saw me immediately.

Ended up with a pacemaker (which was recently replaced).

So yes, it’s very possible to have serious heart issues and not know.
