We all have those little health complaints we tell ourselves are probably nothing, especially when they come and go. A bit of tiredness here, some breathlessness there, and it is easy to chalk it up to a long day or maybe getting older. Yet those small changes can be your body telling you that something needs attention.

Then, during a hunting trip with his son, a frightening symptom made it much harder to ignore what his body was saying.
