Lt. Gov. and U.S. Senate candidate John Fetterman's cardiologist says he should be fine if he follows medical advice and could campaign and serve in the Senate 'without a problem.'

“If he does what I’ve told him, and I do believe that he is taking his recovery and his health very seriously this time, he should be able to campaign and serve in the U.S. Senate without a problem,” said Chandra. “Instead, I did not see him again until yesterday,” Chandra wrote. “John did not go to any doctor for 5 years and did not continue taking his medications.”
“Like so many others, and so many men in particular, I avoided going to the doctor, even though I knew I didn’t feel well. As a result, I almost died. I want to encourage others to not make the same mistake.” Five years ago, after being told of his heart condition, Fetterman said he thought exercising and losing weight would be enough, but he stopped taking blood thinners that would have prevented a stroke.
