Elizabeth got tired of the empty promises and moved on

Just wondering what that must feel like.

1.5 yrs ago I had one.

Had felt bad for a couple of days before, even went to a walk in clinic to get checked.

2 days later I woke up to a tightness and pain in my chest. My wife thought it was anxiety.

I had the classic symptoms and decided to call 911. They arrived and confirmed it was a heart attack.

If you are concerned I would suggest watching the YouTube lecture and buying the book Prevent and Reverse Heart disease by Caldwell Esseslylstyn

I've honestly had pain in the center of my chest for a while now that feels like a joint that needs to pop. I thought it was a pulled muscle because of my job. Should I be worried? No other symptoms

Feels like someone is inside you trying to pry apart your sternum with a crowbar.

To me it felt like someone was squeezing behind my sternum and pushing down on my chest at the same time.

Kind of felt like I needed to burp, too, so I drank some Coke and tried to burp. It it didn't help. It didn't feel right. It hurt, too, and I knew my chest didn't feel like that, ever. Called 911 and they took me to the hospital.

No one told me it was a heart attack until the doctor came in, introduced himself, and started explaining that they were going to go up a vein in my leg and look around and maybe put in a stent or do an angioplasty. They did both. I had 100% blockage on one and 99% on another...on the bottom backside of my heart? I don't remember, but they did both, one stent and ballooned the other.

I was pissed no one was telling me anything up to that point. Go see a doctor now, anyway. Don't frick around with your heart area. He told me a lot of people wait, and your heart gets more damaged the longer you wait. I got lucky.

Men don't like to go to the doctor. Women go far more than us, so men think it's sort of a pussy thing to do. But you ever notice you meet more widows than widowers?? fricking go now.

Heart attacks are for pussies. Darth's heart fricking STOPPED dude

Darth about to be up in here.

A guy at work had the "widow msker" a few months ago. He said he felt no pain at all. Was eating with his family one evening and said all of a sudden he went numb and couldn't move. Said everything went blue then he was out. He woke up once in the car taking him to hospital briefly and just felt paralyzed and seeing everything in blue.
Doc said what saved him was being a healthy person and having a strong heart.
The cause was from a blood clot he developed from a shoulder surgery 7 days before.

Your story reminds me of my coworker's story that happened last year. He felt bad for a couple of days and went to a clinic too. Later on he had chest pain while watching TV one night at home. Collapsed on the floor. Shortly later Ambulance is there. He is talking to the paramedics for a few minutes and then falls limp. Paramedics could not revive him. Pronounced dead at the scene. Police treated it has a homocide because he died in his living room. Later it was ruled as a heart attack.
