So, I Had A Heart Attack

[NewMFS62]

Was working around the yard, hauling bags of mulch, and felt pain in the throat and left arm.
I knew they were classic signs of a heart attack and went to the emergency room.
They inserted a catheter and looked at my heart and saw three blocked arteries(one fully blocked and two partially blocked).
They will be treated with meds, diet and exercise and I'm home now.
Phew!
Don't ignore the symptoms.
You want to see the Jets win the Super Bowl, don't you?

Your comment about not ignoring the symptoms was the key. Anyone over 35 who experiences these symptoms, especially (but not exclusively) during heavy physical exertion should get to a hospital or call 911 right away. You probably avoided a life threatening event by doing what you did.

I’m in the emergency field. I see this all the time. Glad to hear you’re doing well.

Get well soon our Jets fan brother! Glad to hear you are recovering and had the awareness to seek help. We need your voice here for a long, long time, so take good care of yourself.

Glad you got to the ED and they were able to clear it. Quite the eye opener I’m sure.

I am in the field as well brick. I’m an Inner city ED nurse. What is your gig?

Glad to hear you are doing ok. I assume I will have a heart attack just before the Jets win the SB.

Nice. You ever visit the ED in Paterson?

Glad you noticed the signs and posted cause I knew about the left arm but not the throat ... hoping for a Speedy Recovery

 

[NewMFS62]

Thank you all for your best wishes and support.

Glad you are doing okay - and one more word on the lesson here - if you THINK you might be having a heart attack or the like - stop THINKING and go to the ER

Man, Am I glad you had the good sense to get checked out. I would hate to lose a Jets fan friend. Take the time to make a complete recovery and be sure to keep us updated.
