Dang, sending good thoughts your way. Thank God your wife had her wits about her and called 911. This could have ended in a very bad way but I think you know that. FYI, you're not an old man but more like a healthy man now. | |||

Wowzers! You dodged a major bullet there! Nothing so dramatic, but this past Winter has taken it's toll. Less energy, more aches and pains. Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent. | |||

I had CABG several years ago. I'm not the athlete I used to be, but I'm back to all my activities. It takes a while but youll get there. Depression is a common side effect. That too goes away. Never be more than one step away from your sword-Old Greek Wisdom | |||

Good to hear that all turned out well. Did they prescribe ongoing meds? I had some ill side effects from one of the meds and our forum Doc Goodheart helped to put me onto a better path, things are good now. Yea, about the cutting the clothes off. They scissored off a brand new pair of shorts too! Stay well Blume9mm Regards, Will G. | |||

Glad they caught that in time. Lesson learned here...put on old clothes before going to the ER. .....never marry a woman who is mean to your waitress. | |||

Glad you made it.... I'm 54 years old, had a heart attack at 42, defibrillator put in a month ago.... I'm not old, it's all in your head. Been back to work for a few days already, nothings changed other than the lump in my chest... | |||

Glad you are going to be ok. Everyone is not so fortunate. A few weeks ago, while fighting gout. I told my wife, "for the first time in my life, I feel old". If I had to run across the street to save myself, I would not have been able to. The Gout has subsided and I can again run, but at that time, I really felt old. Shit, I am only 57.

I had a somewhat similar experience about 10 years ago. Strange feeling in upper chest, called my best friend (a hospital worker) who said I needed to go to the ER NOW! So I drove myself to the ER. Tests indicated heart problems so was admitted, found my arteries were more than 90% blocked and had a quadruple bypass only 2 days after admittance. I recently had an ablation to correct atrial fluttering, and will have a pacemaker installed in about a month because my pulse rate is erratic and skips beats. I'm 81--does that qualify as "old"? flashguy Texan by choice, not accident of birth | |||

A friend of mine was drinking Mountain Dew, like always. Had a metallic taste no other symptoms, drove himself to the ER. 90% blockage of the widow maker. Dr was impressed my friend realized there was an issue because of the metallic taste. Glad you caught it in time! ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ | |||
