Accepted Answer

Attachment: I'm sorry for how you feel when you get emotionally close to others. It sounds as though you are subconsciously afraid to form an attachment or commitment. Maybe you've experienced a recent loss of a loved one, or you have a past relationship that you are not over yet. You should consider talking to your regular doctor, and asking for a referral to a Psychiatrist or Psychologist to talk it out.

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! : Absolutely! tobacco smoke is toxic to arteries, and a major contributer to the formation of cholesterol plaques in heart arteries, cardiac bypass grafts, peripheral arteries in the limbs, and also can cause aneurysms in the aorta. Your friend's tobacco abuse contributed to the severe coronary disease in his native heart arteries, and may now be contributing to the closure of the surgical bypass grafts. The symptoms you describe (classic angina) are very concerning for recurrent blockage(s), and he needs to see his physician immediately. There are new drugs that can be very effective in helping patients stop smoking. It is imperative he quits.
