Like you, I had no pain or tingling. I just had shortness of breath and brief nausea, and since I was on my first day of a trip to 9.5 K feet, and just played 3 hours of basketball, I and all my friends thought it was just altitude sickness.
I found out otherwise the next morning when I went to a clinic to get some oxygen, and they took an EKG. My delay in treatment caused major damage to take place.
So, I try to educate others, by my tagline if nothing else. While I feel great now, I don't want anyone repeating my mistake! Maybe we should trade e-mails and trade notes...my doctors are still scratching their heads as to why I had a heart attack...I just turned 37, and had no major risk factors!
Sorry, to hear about your heart attack.
37 years old is way too young, but it does happen. Usually, there is some problem with the heart to begin with and not just high cholesterol, hardening of the arteries, sort of thing. That usually takes 10 or 20 more years.
I am OK. I don't think there was enough damage to worry about. I honestly have my doubts it was a heart attack. They did place a stint in one artery. I have since, had nausea, fatigue, but not blacking out. I also failed to mention I had muscle spasms. Legs ,arms, fingers, you name it. Seemed all my muscles were really stressed out, probably the heart muscle too. I had some Flexeril left over from my back problems I was taking. I never mentioned it to the doctors, but it was making the spasms worse, instead of better. I didn't realize it , until I got out of the hospital. Flexeril is a muscle relaxer. This is what they say anyway.
Keep me up on your progress. You can reply to my FreeRepublic email.
Take care.
