“Heart blockage tests?”
My friend died from having 90% heart blockage, I am wondering what tests I can have to see if my heart is blocked? I am 70 years old and worry about stuff like this. And of course, losing a friend ignited my interest.

The risk of having a heart attack depends on risk factors such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, smoking and positive family history of heart disease. You should see your family physician to do an EKG and if abnormal referral to a cardiologist will be required.
Please visit your cardiologist. Have a complete work up. Blood test, EKG. Echocardiogram etc. may need stress test and Holter monitor. Good Luck.
