I'm so happy you played it safe and went in and that the outcome was good. What a scary day! Thanks for posting your symptoms, too. I know they vary from person to person but it's good to have the perspective in case anyone else ever experiences something similar.

Angel, my thoughts are with you.
A a similar thing happened to one of my friends. She was 35 and in great shape. A runner. She had some genetic issue that caused the lining of her coronary artery to slough off mad cause scar tissue and a clot. They put a stent in and she's been fine since. She's now 49.

Praying for as full of recovery as possible. Have to say, if it was me, I don't know if I would be posting to the board the day of the heart attack. I'd rather be the subject of a thread, "whatever happened to so-and-so?" Then pipe in and let them know what happened Okay, bad joke, but hope it made you grin a little bit. Praying for a full recovery! We have way too many posters here with health problems

This literally has me in tears. I am so thankful that you are ok but really shaken to the core that this happened to you. And thank you for sharing your experience and symptoms with us.
Please rest and focus on the future and not "what could have happened". Easier said than done

Thanks everyone for the kind words,some of you brought tears to my eyes. I found out I have some tests today and will be released tomorrow. I'm feeling pretty good, just tired because I slept really poorly.

I'm so glad you are ok, hard to believe you will be released tomorrow. That is really scary, because those symptoms mimic my gall bladder attack a bit. And I've had a panic attack before that also reminded me of your symptoms. I can see how just as easily you would have made the decision Not to go to the hospital.

Angel, my thoughts are with you. A a similar thing happened to one of my friends. She was 35 and in great shape. A runner. She had some genetic issue that caused the lining of her coronary artery to slough off mad cause scar tissue and a clot. They put a stent in and she's been fine since. She's now 49. I am starting to think it was some weird genetic fluke. Because the more I learn, the more I can't figure out why. The other two arteries had no blockages whatsoever. My cholesterol is 130, I knew it was low, just wasn't sure how low. My good cholesterol is kind of low - only 30, but as a ratio to the bad cholesterol (55) and overall cholesterol it is good. My triglycerides are a little high, I'm 230 and over 200 is high, while over 500 is very high. The ratio of good cholesterol to triglycerides is bad according to one article I read, so that is something at least that maybe makes it make sense. I just can't help thinking probably at least 20% of 35 year olds in this country have worse numbers, eat worse, exercise less, are overweight, but don't have heart attacks. I just wanted something to point to that says this is what you need to change so it won't happen again, but I can't find it and that is scary. They've got me on 4 meds, 3 they say I will likely take for life. One is to lower my bp for less stress on my heart. My normal bp is around 120/65 (which is a perfectly fine bp). It was in that range through the whole heart attack. Last night my bp was 95/50 after the first dose (pretty low). Today they gave me a lower dose because apparently that lowered my bp too much. Now it is around 105/55, which I guess they find acceptable. I just find it funny I have a very good bp but have to take meds to lower it, but I'm actually at more risk of lowering it too much.
