It is my own diagnosis, and it is not from a doctor; but I know the symptoms of CHF and CAD, and I have some of them. My chest hurts sometimes, right in the sternum, and I get bouts of shortness of breath. I took a treadmill test about 7 or 8 years ago, and there wasn't any symptoms. That was then, and I have gone down hill since then; I am in the range of age where death occurs though. If it gets much worse I will take another treadmill test; I don't have a death wish, but I don't sit up at night worried about it either.
