LOL! I was in Costco the day before having a heart attack, drove home having a heart attack, it woke me up three times during the night. I finally told Shrek the next morning (after looking up signs and symptoms online), "Well, it's either a medication reaction, a panic attack or a heart attack."
The techs were wheeling the EKG out of the room when I told them if they wanted a good reading on what I was experiencing they should hook me back up, it's starting again. That was the big one that didn't stop.
The fakes happen on my left side, the real one was on my right. Now that I know what to look for, I take anti-anxiety medication and it stops. I used to have GI upsets when anxious, now I have heart symptoms
I only the matched the powerball number.
Trying to decide what to do with my $4 "winnings"...
I had symptoms that were nothing like what I had learned to watch for in a heart attack. Felt like someone was squeezing my throat and my right shoulder. No chest pain, actually no pain...just mild constriction. Heck it was happening as we drove to the ER. I sure got hollered at about not calling for an ambulance. I was walking, talking and making jokes, didn't think I was in that much danger.
I managed to drop 1 cup of guacamole on the floor and my shoes...guess I really didn't want anymore guac...
I smoked for 19 years then just decided to quit 1 day, gained to much weight, but I no longer smoke. Dh has smoked since he was 12 years old. 3 years ago he had a heart attack on Christmas day, he was 49 years old. The dr. told him to stop smoking, cut back on red meat, try & reduce his stress level & exercise. He has done none of the above. I feel like he is a ticking time bomb. I have harped on him long enough. He still continues to smoke 2 packs a day & has not changed his lifestyle at all. We have a 14 year old daughter. Time for me to lose more weight & get healthy, I want to be around for our daughter. I got back in the pool tonight for the 1st time in 5 weeks. It felt great. Feeling a little sore, I was in there 45 mn but only did 12 laps, pretty slow going but I am starting to feel it now. Took a pain pill, will take it a little more easy in the pool tomorrow.
I thought you were going out.
Put the guac back in the fridge and step away from the door...
