As the time passed, he had married and was not intending to get back to his home country. However, at his 70's, Kęstutis was brought back to Lithuania - because of the health issues.
"I lived an active lifestyle and my heart just decided to remind me of itself. I felt pain in the heart area after short walks, I started getting short of air to breath, I was not able to inhale enough air even after smallest physical activity. I had to take longer and longer breaks to be able to proceed with whatever I was working on"

"coronary heart disease is currently the main cause of death in the world. The most typical symptom is pain behind the breastbone at the time of physical activity, which disappears at rest. Seeing such symptoms which persist, it is necessary to call an ambulance."
