Captain Willie Tells About His Health Scare and What’s Next for Him – Friday, April 24, 2015

Captain Willie Dykes tells us about his recent health scare. Captain Willie felt a pain in the base of his throat and he thought it was stress related. In 2012, he felt a pain spread across his chest and a feeling that something wasn’t right. He then suffered a heart attack because of that pain in the base of his throat. Captain Willie had a coronary artery disease called Walk Through Angina.

Walk Through Angina feels like indigestion and activity makes the pain go away. Willie had a catherization and two stents, and had to walk away from flying Chopper 16.

However, Captain Willie is keeping busy. He is a co-host on Outdoors Delmarva with Andrew Tawes. Willie announces that they are bringing back some of his favorite Chopper 16 segments on WBOC.
