Happened to me at age 37. They don’t test for it or even look for it at that age which is why they call it the ‘widowmaker’. They look for it in older men not men who are of the age of raising a family. And this was long before the jabs. Stupid thing is I had very horrible chest pains but it wasn’t constant. Would come and go, so I went to the doctor. He said it was heartburn and prescribed Prilosec. A simple blood test would’ve revealed my elevated Troponin levels. Four months later I collapsed, blacked out, smashed my head and broke some teeth on a planter. Fortunately it was in a casino so lots of people saw and got help right away. Unfortunately they just assumed I was a drunk or on drugs - now THAT they tested for! (and I was on neither, I was there for work).

My dad had a heart attack at age 24.

You are right they do not look for them in that age range.

For him it was just outright over work that did it. He was told to take it easy for a couple of years and did.

He is now 83 and chugging right along.

I’ve known people who had heart attacks in their 30’s, too. This happened long before the covid shots.

But, this report claims heart attacks are on the rise for young adults now, which is worrisome.
