I want to live till I am 110 to shoot my handi...
« on: February 26, 2009, 05:36:31 PM »
 Woke up 2 days ago and had bad chest pains and by the afternoon, could not breathe. Drove myself to the ER and was admitted. They gave me nitro pills and did a heart cath yesterday. It came up clear and doc could not figure out what caused it. But, it was a blessing or warning-my LDL/CDL/trigs where thru the roof or in the basement. Doc said heart was ok but I was headed to a heart attack. Bottom line-dont be macho/figure it cannot happen to you,,,DIAL 911!!! When I was leaving, a man pulled up in his car and had driven his passed out wife to the ER. She was DEAD! Had a heart attack and man drove her in thinking she just passed out. No more Mickey D's for me.If you hurt,call 911!!! I wanna shoot for a long long time!

Not to be a downer, but go get another opinion, there was some reason you were hurting and could not breathe.  I had just the opposite thing happen, had an EKG at a normal physical, doctor told me I had had a heart attack, go to the hospital and pack a bag, you will be spending the night, kind of stressed me out, packed a bag, went to the hospital, had an EKG, it was good, ran on the treadmill, it was good, had a stress echo sonagram, it was good, nothing wrong at all, doctor told me I would die some day but probably not from a heart problem.  Never never get just one opinion, please find another doctor to check you out.   Morning is the time for heart attacks, a few years ago I worked on a Black Program, at least once a week at neary 9:00 AM sharp someone dropped dead from a heart attack, stress and the time of day all add up to get you.  Larry

Morning brother!!

 Very glad to hear it turned out OK. I too just went thru this. Only I did have the heart attack!!!

 I'm no doctor, but sounds like angina to me. Thats your body warning you that with out change a heart attack could be iminant!
  Sometimes you just dont know!! I was at my doctor TWO DAYS before my heart attack. I had, had a ultra sound of my heart and a EKG a couple days before that and everything was good. Two days later, There I am I the ER with a numb left arm and chest pain. BP 195/114!!!! :o :o

Larry also offers some good advice! At the very least, go see your PCP! He will set you up with a whole series of tests and get you back on the right track for better health.

Hey there cannon cocker!  Glad you're okay.  There's a bunch of us here that got that rude awakening!  I'm even trying to do better for myself.  And look at cwlongshot!  People are saying Bri ain't half the man he used to be!  Oh, but that's because of all the weight he's lost...   ;D

Do what the Doc's say.   ;)
