Sarah Williams, a 48-year-old high school...
Sarah Williams, a 48-year-old high school principal and mother of two, had always been active but recently noticed a tight, squeezing sensation in her chest during her evening walks. The feeling, accompanied by unusual shortness of breath, would subside when she rested. Her father had a history of early-onset heart disease, which worried her. Her primary care physician, noting her family history and symptoms, referred her to a cardiologist. Dr. Evans recommended a Treadmill Test (Stress Test) to see how her heart performed under physical exertion. During the test, Sarah walked on the treadmill as the speed and incline gradually increased. She felt anxious but was reassured by the nurse and the continuous EKG monitoring. The test was stopped when she reported her familiar chest tightness. The results showed signs of reduced blood flow to her heart muscle under stress. While frightening, this gave a clear answer. Sarah felt a wave of relief mixed with fear, relief to have a diagnosis, fear of what came next. She was diagnosed with coronary artery disease. This led to further treatment with medication and lifestyle changes. Emotionally, she moved from anxiety and denial to a sense of control and proactive determination to manage her health for her family and career.
