We went to see JET's cardiologist at the VA yesterday who was very thorough and scheduled him for a cardiac cath on the 27th of this month. They will go up his veins and check for blockages and if they can stent them there and then they will. If not he may end up having by pass surgery but we are hopeful they can fix it with more stents. (He already has four).
We are hoping this will stop the night time shaking episodes which his neurologist is convinced is lack of oxygen to the brain causing syncope. If his arteries are unblocked then the blood flow to his brain should be better.
If it doesn't help then it means the shaking episodes are the progression of his auto immune disease which isn't so good.
We are grateful that they are going to do the cardiac cath in less than two weeks.
I'll keep him in my prayers.
