Gary ended up in cardiac rehab after his 10th heart attack. With his most recent bout, he primarily experienced chest pain, through during his previous attacks he has had pain radiating down the arm, neck, and jaw, as well as nausea and vomiting. He is currently trying to improve his health for his next procedure to clear a blockage. Gary has enjoyed his experience at Cardiac Rehab.

“The thing I like are the people are friendly and they really seem to care about the patients. It is close to where I live and I like the people. I also feel safe coming here with COVID safeguards in place,” said Gary.

“I’m feeling stronger.”
