I can tell all women and men they need a good check up and do not let a doctor(my family doctor) tell you that you are tired because you are getting on in age..The only thing that saved me was my wonderful medical team..Two great doctors..I was always very active never stopped going and then it seemed all of a sudden I was so tired,then one day I started feeling a heaviness in my chest and got dizzy so went to the doctor he did an EKG an that came out normal..Then I went on to the hospital where I had a stress test..That didn't work out very well so my cardiologist did the die in the veins.that is when they found the aneurysms..I was rushed into surgery and everything was taken care of went home from the hopital four days after my surgery..So I am telling you all this so you can watch out for few signs of a heart attack if you are a woman..My doctors told me this had not just happened to me over night it had been there a while..I had just been pushing myself trying to be normal and keep up my exercise and home life..when all the time I could have died in minutes..That is why I say I am blessed..God wasn't finished we me yet here on earth..He has something left for me to do..

You were extremely fortunate that your aneurysms were found before it was too late. Sounds like you had some really great doctors. God was certainly looking after you, no question about that. My wife’s sister died of a heart attack not too long ago at the age of 42. Her doctor didn’t really think much about it when she complained of heart pain. Had they taken her more seriously she might be alive today. You are right, women need to pay heed to signs of a heart attack and demand that their doctor take them seriously. Glad it worked out for you! I agree with you, He still has something left for you to do. God bless!
