A little update to this thread. Haven't had any serious chest pain since the second episode in mid-November. Just mild pain from moderate exertion, solved by deep breathing. I now know that I have severe coronary artery blockage, and am adding lots of heart/artery specific supplements to address this. I cut out palm oil and even stevia for my coffee, since stevia products that are available here all have erythritol, also known to be bad for the heart. I use a little honey instead.
Today I had to go down into my crawlspace to set up a heater for the coming winter storm, and single-digit temps. Keep it above freezing down there. As a test, I decided to not move slowly and just behave as if I had no issues. Of course I got fairly severe chest pain, but it didn't seem quite as bad as the other two times. And while those times required 30 minutes of bed rest to get me back to normal, this time it only took 10 - 15 minutes. This is encouraging. My hope is that six to twelve months of continuing my new supplement and healthier food choices routine will make this go away altogether. We will see.
