I just found out there are blockages in both arteries on the left and right sides of my heart. The doctor said they're about 6 to 8 months old. Should I be worried about how old these blockages are and what kind of treatment is usually recommended for this? I'm feeling a bit anxious about what this means for my health going forward.
