Well trumpets please, today is an important day!
It marks the 5-year anniversary of Bill’s “event.” He prefers “event” to heart attack, and says it was the whack upside the head he needed to realize it was time to up his game.
Five Years Ago Today …
Chugging along back then, Bill was overweight, struggling with uncontrolled blood pressure (though recently on BP medication), his cholesterol was somewhat elevated along with his LDL and triglycerides.

We’ve all heard that heartburn might actually be a heart attack, right?

Doing this may just save your life, and it may also ease your chest pain. And of course call 9-1-1, don’t drive yourself!
But did you know Pepto-Bismol® could also ease the pain of a heart attack? Well we didn’t. Well it can! Had we known, it would have changed the course of events the week of Bill’s heart attack and we would have sought medical attention much, much sooner. In fact, we would likely have prevented his heart event.
