honestly this is one of my worst fears
Same. RUclips videos terrify me...
My dad had a heart attack but he’s in heaven now
@@keli15yearsago6 R.i.p To your Father😔 He is in a Better place now😔🙏🏽🕊️
This is also what google says when you look up what your pains mean
Well it's largely preventable so don't worry
What an absolutely lovely woman. Thank God she made it through
Thank god she's okay I can't imagine what it mustve felt like to have one of those in my family we have a strong line of diabetes im prediabetic if im not careful I could be at risk for heart disease in the future I'm 24 still young and healthy but I have to watch myself im actually right now scared, Scared for my life I have an anxiety disorder so my panic attacks feel like death I cant even begin to feel what those people that have survived heart attacks felt like all I can say is i am happy that u are ok
Googled this because I had a pain in my chest and I was scared
God bless you glad you made it
I had a heart attack a month ago, two blocked arteries, primary 97% (widow maker) secondary 100% blocked. I had ZERO pain in my chest, it was a wave of feelings of disco in my jaw, then my head, then the back of my arms (triceps) I had slight light headedness, cold sweats but no nausea or vomiting. I wasn’t sure what was wrong just all these weird feelings radiating. I was taken to the ER by my wife and I had to have an angioplasty and two stents placed. I’m ok, but tbh I have a weird feeling in my chest since…. Also I have a light flutter occasionally when I’m breathing normally… I have started to exercise and I feel better when I do, and I’ve totally changed my diet to border line vegetarian.
I've never had a heart attack but know people who have had them. It's amazing how symptoms vary from person to person.
I did not have those symptoms. I had severe gerd, headache, nausea, vomiting and neck pain. I was in the ICU & had a stent placed.
My grandpa died from a heart attack my mom found him on the floor in the bathroom
What an incredible story!!!!!!!
the EMTs telling her she was fine when she was having a literal heart attack is a perfect example of medical racism. this has been happening to Black folks, especially women, for centuries. medical professionals dismiss pain and other symptoms, and in worst cases, this racist negligence kills.
Wow .....i thought it was some heart cramps type
you know if youre gonna have a heart attack if you live an unhealthy lifestyle like smoking eating unhealthy food
I suffer from severe panic attacks and I'm always thinking "This is it for me I'm have a fatal heart attack"
Aaand that thought makes it worse
embrace the feeling of panic. close your eyes an intensify. each time. it worked for me, eventually
I got hbp n now affects the heart.
No don't think like that
I think like that everyday. But each day that I make it through helps me to not be so self conscious
My hypochondriac ass self did not need to see this today 😩
Omg same
@@user-ug9ly2fd7d like I totally feel for this woman and I’m so glad she’s okay, but this video ruined my day 😭
@ i feel you!! 😣 dont worry too much you’ll drive yourself crazy!😙
@@user-ug9ly2fd7d thank you 🙏🏼 I’ll just pop an aspirin and try to forget I ever watched this vid lmao 😌🤪
Amen, sista'!
That's so scary! The fact that you're just sent home with barely any testing is horrible. It happens so much and it shouldn't. Glad she's okay and is still able to be a mama to her babies. 😌
Thats because they check the heart and ther heart is fine. Its the arteries and they cannot check this without some invasion and invasion may cause death.
Thats the same thing they did to me at the ER when i had a cardiac emergency, i lost my breathe and got pressure in my chest and they told me it was nothing to worry about and to just come back if it got worse, until I checked up with a cardiologist and they told me one of the pieces of my heart was enlarged and that it wasnt pumping blood effectively and thats what caused me to go to the ER that day, and the ER doctors told me it was nothing
@@franklee3795 I’m so sorry! That seems to be a rhythm, they said my daughter’s amoxicillin allergy “was nothing” too! Glad you’re okay.
Racism within the medical system is widely known both anecdotally and statistically.
A heart attack will come and go. Don't blame the health specialists. She's lucky they found what it was. Do not ignore chest pain or symptoms.
Those paramedics need a refresher course. Even in the off chance it was a panic attack they should have taken you to the hospital to be 100% sure. But then again I'm Canadian, maybe it's different in the US.
YES! Especially since having a SCAD alone (no plague build-up and blockage) always has a "normal EKG"!! While EMT taking you to the hospital is always the patient's choice if they're conscious - they need to be better educated that EKG is not a 100% qualifier for heart disease.
@@mitzi916 As an EMT I always learned treat your patients not the monitor.
It’s so different here. my husband fell chest first down the side of a mountain at 35mph and the ski lodge emergency said “it sounds like you have covid”. He went 5hrs with no treatment, and when he blacked out and rushed to the hospital. he had a torn spleen and had lost 70% of his blood into his abdomen. He was seconds / minutes from bleeding out.
i hate the American health system.
That's cause as an EMT you don't even use a monitor! 😂@@10minutesounds31
I noticed she said EMT. I myself am an EMT in Texas. I make 17$ an hour and only do this while I’m in school to become a PA. I recognize these EMT’s definitely missed the obvious signs of radiating pain to left arm and excessive sweating. Any clinician would have recommended she go to the hospital with a high suspicion of heart muscle infarction regardless of 12 lead EKG reading. I also recognize the EMS system more than likely has a bias due to the demographic that typically fills it which may have played a part in what I suspect may have been negligence. Also, I realize that it is a hard job with high stress. EMS workers deserve more support to bring in additional workers and better benefits to keep current ones happy. I’m grateful she was able to survive such a terrible fate and I hope this is a learning opportunity for all those involved in EMS.
Bless you! I’m 29, and right before I turned 29 a few months ago I got diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy. My health deteriorated quickly, the meds weren’t working. Long story short, I had a heart transplant just a little over a month ago. I’m doing great now!
Stay safe, Stay healthy 🙌🏼
Bless you
That’s amazing 🤩 glad you’re okay now
Continue to get better. Listen to your docs, take your meds! Also stay in school, don’t do drugs. All that jazz. God bless!
@@billythekidder7182 I don’t think that she/he is still in school anymore.
Wow the term "widow maker" scares the sh*t outta me.
It’s no joke. SCAD is a scary diagnosis.

@@skunkamunkah ?
Currently suffering from a severe anxiety attack so having to look up these videos so I know for sure I’m not having a heart attack! 😢 it’s a vicious cycle
Exactly why I’m here. The panic attack chest pain is the worst.
@@aaronsmith7898 it’s so painful it really does feel like a heart attack! It’s actually terrifying what anxiety can do to you
Your not alone on that one
Im here. The same
@@Chelss05 fr it feels like your heart has stopped sometimes
I'm so glad that she went to the hospital and that she is okay! I deal with severe anxiety and its good to hear what a heart attack actually feels like. My dad died of a heart attack and it is a HUGE worry for me.
💔
Sometimes theres no pain.
I felt sick
Ayo bro real deal, go to the doctor, sometimes heart attacks are hereditary, not the one in the video, but some are so just get checked ok?
@@lift4life332 I was a paramedic for many years and all of my heart attack pts only one had chest pain , the rest just felt worn out , they were pale , just felt bad.
What was ur father's age?
Oh my god my grandmother also survived a heart attack she can't walk you know I'm glad you are okay.😢😊
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 Praying for you
Im sorry😥😥
Don't worry she is okay and she is practicing how to walk now!😍
BTW thanks for the likes and your prayers....
So sweet ....💕💕
Everyone reading this right now should start trying your best in life because you only have 1 life after that life is gone it’s over
This is truly scary! Especially since women develop less severe symptoms than men so it’s often hard to determine exactly what’s going on at first. Glad you’re okay now!
My grandma had a heart attack 3 times and she still alive 💖
God bless her!
wow!
Hope the best for her.
Praise God
That's too much. I barely felt like I could make it out of the one I had
My mom just died two weeks ago because of cardiac arrest. It's very hard for me, I am experiencing depression right now. Please pray for me and my whole family and especially for my mother's soul, Rosita. I love you and I miss you so much Mom.😭
I'm sorry sorry for your loss
I was a paramedic for years and those medics should have known better !! I’m so happy you are okay. Sometimes heart attacks don’t show up on EKG , they need blood work as well and we should never tell someone with those symptoms to stay home.
These hospitals are no help they ran an ekg on me and just assumed me to be fine when I know I'm not because my body is off they ran me out saying I would have to be baker acted
I am a medic and was thinking the same thing!! Lazy EMS providers are an accident waiting to happen!
@@bettysmith4527 absolutely ! I don’t even tell people to stay home when I think in my head there’s nothing wrong. I had a 16 year old girl I was positive was faking and she had endocarditis .. we just can’t tell from the ambulance.
God said it wasn’t your time ❤️✝️❤️
Amen!!!
My dad had a heart attack and he passed from it
@@keli15yearsago6 I am so sorry for your loss :((( God bless him and you/your family.
Why what about the doctor's who actually saved her people never give the doctor's and nurses their credit no give it all to the sky daddy when it's the doc who saving life's out here
@@deathbecomesboleyn6530 exactly my thought
My mom died from SCAD two weeks after giving birth to my brother. I’m glad you’re still here God bless you.

I’m so sorry she is in a better place you will see her soon she is watching down on you Denver
Im so sorry 🙏😭
Sorry for loss I hope you and your brother are care of each other family is important
I'm so happy she survived that. Though, I am truly hoping that doctors will run more, thorough, tests on people suffer similar symptoms so that you aren't just sent home after having a crushing pain.
Whoever is reading this may you and your loved ones live forever and ever 🙏🙏🙏🙏
... Forever? ... I hope not.
What a great husband.
I'm so happy you got to see your kids again. I have two boys of the same age, i can only imagine how hard the thought must be, almost leaving your kids behind like that. Hope you are doing well and you are healthy.
My grandma passed away from a heart attack this January, at age 58😓
I’m so sorry for your loss:(
Same but In 2016 and it was my dad
Such a lovely lady. I could hear the emotion in her voice. 🥺
So glad that she recovered.
It can happen to anyone of any age and size. She looks fit and healthy, nobody could've guessed. Glad she's doing okay now and thank you for sharing this.
So I am 31, why do I not get a heart attack. I always eat unhealthy and I m overweight. Heart attacks will occur to me after the age of 50+.
My grandfather passed away in 2019 December at the age of 87+ due to heart attack. He was on dialysis. He had bypass and suffered 1st heart attack at the age of 58.
Have u heard a teenager getting a heart attack? Atleast we Indians haven't heard.
She did not have a typical MI (heart attack), she had a coronary artery dissection, which is pretty rare. Most MIs are caused by plaque that breaks off the wall of a coronary artery which causes a clot to form blocking the artery. @@BengaliManfromWB
God I'm so young and yet I'm constantly afraid of a heart attack man... I've started exercising more just to do anything I can to avoid a heart attack or anything of the like. Life is too precious to be lost by my own sloth and stress.
I'm glad you are feeling better this just made me cry It was very depressing that it happened to my loved ones 😢 God was watching over you God bless ❤️
I have had a heart attack before and I can confirm this is exactly what it felt like
I have had chest pain before .. so ..that could have been a heart attack? My god. Guess I need my heart checked out
I feel pains in my left chest randomly throughout the day and im dizzy. I started to get this pain in me left arm but under the elbow. So the underside of my elbow. I dont know if its stress or what. Im 16 I workout every day. I eat a relatively healthy diet.
@@ChaiMoose hello, how are you? I'm feeling this right now and I am worried what could it might be
@@maceronni hey! I’m doing all right I am not exactly sure what it was. I think it was just accumulation of things for instance I had some nutrient deficiencies. I started eating meat again and I lowered my anxiety a lot.. I do not have heart problems, but if you think you might then definitely check out with the doctor. :)
My best friend just died of heart attack @27. He collapsed while playing football and died . It's so crazy and am yet to process it all. Am happy you survived that monster 💪😢😢😢
So scary, I get pain chest all the time but because of my anxiety, every time I go to the doctor or ER it seems like as soon as they know that, they dont take my pain serious.
Or maybe they're right, because I've been having chest pain on and off for about 7 months now. But its really scary to know that it could happen.
Same here!
My mom has SCAD and it’s crazy that this video came out. My family nor I had ever heard of this disease until my mom got diagnosed. I believe she had her first heart attack around 37 as well, and since has had 2 more. She is fighter though and is doing okay now. With SCAD they can come out of no where for no real reason at anytime
Why are there dislikes in this video already? I don’t understand!
Hi Bradley...
@@coolcarreviews0129 hi! Why the dots lol
@@bradleyscarreviews I didn’t expect you to be here, lol.
@@coolcarreviews0129 lol
Did she have a shot??? I noticed this video came out during covid? Too many young people having heart attacks
I had the EXACT same condition that she had with none of those symptoms. No major pain, felt like I was catching a cold. Went to work for a week until I started feeling a lump in my throat. They looked at my heart and half of it was not beating. Had to have open heart surgery the next day.
omg! u didn’t have any symptoms?
I had high blood pressure n affects the heart,now the heart beat less strong than before,get tired easily now cannot work stuck at home.
@@springgal265 My prayers are with you
@@springgal265 i had high blood pressure at one point too, i only found out because i woke up one day and couldn’t breathe, the symptom kept lasting for days until one day i really couldn’t breathe and i got alot of tightness in my chest i drove as fast as i could to the hospital it was like a 40 min drive i seriously thought i wasnt gonna make it, when i got there they told me i had high blood pressure and that my heart wasn’t pumping effectively and that was causing the shortness of breathe and tightness in my chest, since then ive lost alot of weight and it hasnt happened. Its no joke when it comes to taking care of your health.
@@franklee3795 how r u now?
In Nov of 2019, at 40 yo, I had STEMI (widowmaker) and a SCAD too. All 3 of my left arteries are stented. I coded in the cath lab 4 times and I was in an induced coma for 10 days. The sweating started then the pain in my chest came so suddenly. I had no prior heart issues, no blockages, no warning. The absolute most scariest thing that's ever happened to me. I'm just glad to be alive!
You can feel the pain in her voice.
I've been experiencing some dull pain in my left chest from time to time. I also experienced sharp, stabbing pain. I had felt clammy, a little light headed. I had gone to the doctor and when he took a blood pressure, he just said, my bp is fine and that nothing to worry. I also had an ECG and it was normal. But I know something is not right within my body. I can feel it. I am ignoring it since the doctors didn't show any concern.
I think I feel the same. Hits outta nowhere. When I breath in it feels like a sharp point in my chest. Like a bubble that’s filling up with each breath and it’s hitting a sharp point and the more I breath in the more it feels like it’s going to pop.
@tony cruz I've had similar situation in the past. What I do is I calm myself and breathe slowly. It simply goes away, but I know it is something to be worried about.
The doctors didn’t say anything at all this happens to me and I’m so scared…
@@philippebenz2643 Get an angiogram and blood work for reassurance. Then forget about it 😉 hopefully your stress and anxiety will decrease (which tend to provoke such effects all you mentioned).
@@zzzap5425 Thank you so much! You have better advice than most doctors I knew. I work at a hospital too.🤦🏻♂️
OMFG, you can have a normal EKG and still have a heart problem! Just because you're not having a heart attack (tissue death) at the exact moment, that doesn't mean you aren't about to have one! The EMS team was incredibly irresponsible to say there was nothing wrong!
You can't look at the numbers, you have to look at the symptoms as well. The numbers can help rule something in but can't always rule it out. SCAD is quite common in young females and should have been in the back of the EMS crews mind as a differential diagnosis.
wonder if gerd chest pain is comparable to heart attack chest pain O_o
and yes i have gerd.
Hi enterpicks. I also have gerd and have been hospitalized for the pain twice. Both times I was given nitroglycerin. Since gerd affects the same muscle group, it works for heart attacks and gerd. I now take Protonix daily and am on a vegan/ GF lifestyle, that has helped me greatly . I hope this helped.
Thank you for interviewing and bringing attention to SCAD. It's not uncommon for ER docs to not even consider a SCAD, we need to research the latest SCAD research so we can advocate for ourselves, even with cardiologists. I am a 4 yr survivor of a SCAD, I had mine at 59, although it typically happens to younger often postpartum women (and a handful of men.) I do not have High BP, Cholesterol, or Diabetes (common co-morbidities for a heart attack.) Mine was spiral dissection also in my LAD but thankfully no blockage other than the SCAD itself. I did not have the same crushing pain, I did have the profuse sweating, an ache between my shoulder blades and hearburn that wouldn't go away with OTC meds. Until I had the shock-like pain down my left arm, I denied I was having a heart attack. If I hadn't read womens' heart attack symptoms often differ from men in a meme on Facebook I may not be here today. I was medically managed for a year and cardiac rehab and yes, a SCAD support group to help me get to my new normal. I've read there is a 30 some percent chance of another SCAD, so the threat hangs over our heads every day. Getting the word out saves lives, as many ignore their symptoms, or their ER does.
Oh thank God!😩🙌🏽❤️ I’m so glad that she is okay. This is a blessing from God that she survived❤️ I’m glad! Thank you Jesus!🙌🏽❤️
I'm so sorry this happened, but you survived God bless you 🙏🏾 Thank you for spreading knowledge with us all.
That is hard and awful but I am glad she is better this why it’s important to remember anyone can have heart attack man or woman and know what to do
Now a days heart attacks r counted as normal bcoz of its countless patients
I went to the ER about six times over chest pain and they all told me that I was fine. They said my EKG was normal and it's just really super scary because the hospital I feel like don't take it serious. They just try to blame it on a panic attack or some undiagnosed mental deal or something. And they don't really want to look at your heart and it's so scary man cuz my left arm hurts. My chest hurts. It's awful
Same here! This is EXACTLY why I'm going to Mexico to see doctors there. The doctors in the USA don't act like they care if the patient lives or dies. I swear. And they NEVER give you a reason for the pain or problem. It is scary asf!
My dad died of a sudden heart attack 14 years ago..
He was hiking by himself one afternoon and was found by passers by. The thought that he "suffered" during his last moments are thoughts that have plagued me ever since... I was told that he passed away instantly. I just hope that is true... ❤ 💙
Stay strong brother
Very sorry for your loss 💔
It’s very possible. My grandmother passed away instantly from a heart attack. New Year’s Day 2020.
Bless you! You will live a long, healthy and beautiful life! In the name of Jesus! 💜🙌🏾
I know a South African accent when I hear one...
I'm glad you're okay. 🥺❤
im zimbabwean but i could tell she was south african too 😳
When I was about 13 or 14 I had my first svt heart episode (supraventricular tachycardia) and I thought it was just a panic attack because at the time I never had experienced one. It was right before school so I was talking to my mom who was in another room just telling her something is wrong. You could SEE how fast and hard my heart was beating and I was getting cold sweats I was super dizzy and I could barely walk by how light headed I felt. That's when my mom called 911 and she and my brother helped me move to the living room couch since our living room was big enough for all the people and equipment. They did an ekg and my heart rate was 276 beats per minute and that's when they gave me a shot that to me seems just like a reset. I ended up getting an ablation and the first time it only took like 2 hours and they froze part of my heart but like 2 months later I had another episode just from bending over to pick up a shoe. I then got another ablation and this time it was about 9 hours and they unfroze the one part of my heart and burned another part and so far I haven't had another episode. It's been years now and my heart still isn't as strong as it use to be and im too scared to get it back to where it was if I have another episode and have to do it all over again.
omg im so sorry!! i had an svt ablation over the summer and thank god ive been better since then. i hope you don’t have to do that again!
Ellie, how are you? It's been a year now. Are you okay?
Thank you for sharing your story. It sounds eerily similar to my own experience with SCAD! I had tears in my eyes remembering what it was like to be told you’ve had a SCAD. Scary, but we are lucky survivors!
Hey beautiful human reading this, I hope you are well✨ Sending loads of love, you got this❤️
Is anyone else here because they were having an irregular heartbeat, and now their really dizzy and having nausea and a headache? Cause i am
Yea last night
Good thing she was in America. Our doctors and medical staff are some of the finest professionals in the world.
We need an update 2024 .
This video is 3 yrs old. I pray she’s still doing well
Bro I feel like dying after getting heartburn I can’t even imagine how much pain these people are going through
I want to watch this but I'm afraid I lost my grandpa from a massive heart attack I wasn't around when it happened my dad had diabetes we passed away I believe he may have a heart attack but it's good to know how it feels like to have one so that you are ready and you know what the signs are.

Did you dad pass away?
@@kristinccha he passed away in 2012 later after having a stroke they told me that he had a heart attack and they found him the next day.
I feel for you, my mother passed away from a major heart attack while she was home alone back in 2010, and I've been so terrified of having one ever since.
I had a heart attack . I did not even know it was a hot day i was sweating but then my are started feeling like it is being crushed went t the hospital and they told me i had a massive heart attack i have 2 stents
I just sometimes get anxiety about having a sudden heart attack
I am so glad you are ok... I had a massive heart attack back in March, had to have a stent place in my right coronary artery that was 100 percent blocked.. My LCX is 70 percent but I am being treated with medications, still sometimes have angina due to the 70 percent blockage, I am in hopes that maybe my next follow up my cardiologist, I will ask him to please go ahead and put a stent in the LCX also... Not sure why he didn't go ahead and do that while he was in there but I guess they have their reasons... but anyways, glad you are still here to tell your story, wish I could find a good support group... Stay blessed..
IF YOU HAVE THESE SYMPTOMS PLEASE SEEK PROFESSIONAL EMERGENCY MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY!! My father unexpectedly passed away from an aortic dissection at the age of 46 and if he would have sought proper medical attention and did not ignore the symptoms, he would still be alive today. If you are reading this, I hope I can be a voice for you. Seeking medical care is ALWAYS the right answer. Please let my experience change the outcome of yours. This one is for you, dad!
I can't finish this video . I've just been in the hospital a week for a heartproblem and im just 30 years old. I do a lot of sport , i'm a lifeguard for a living , i eat pretty healthy and there is no familyhistory with heartproblems. I can't believe im so unlucky. It makes me scared and angry. I dont fear death itself but i fear dying . I dont want that crushing pain
🙏🏽🥺
How are you now dear
😳 that was an intense story
It’s not the same for everyone. It’s common, especially in women, to have no symptoms at all. Learn the signs and don’t ignore your body. (Widowmaker at 39. I had 5 stents placed)
I know the feeling. From a normal routine to intense pain due to the plaque breaking off and blocking an artery. Imagine having a turnakit wrapped around your arm and not being released, your body weight on your chest and dripping in sweat. The issue I had was time delay but luckily or as much luck as you can get from having a attack the ambulance had a EKG as standard and went straight to the hospital. You also want to hope you get to a hospital that has an interventional cardiologist ready to catherize. I didn't pay for anything but if i had to i would probably get another attack from the bill. Money can seem frivolous in those instances. At least some of us have had a preview. Anyways, it is what it is (and was). 😀
If you have heavy pressure on your chest, if you have dizzy spells and your vision is all of a sudden blurry or blacking out go to the ER and don't leave until they tell you what is going on. Before watching this video I've read about the symptoms of heart attack. She had all the symptoms of heart attack. The sweating profusely was new though I haven't heard of it so I'm glad I watched. You've got to be your own advocate and you cannot cannot trust doctors to find out what's wrong with you. You know your body and what is and isn't normal.
I pray for all those people having fear of heart attack.... Pls help me i m 20 year old and I have fear everytime of heart attack pls help me from this negative thoughts 🙏
Thank you for sharing such a scary, life changing experience! Peace.
This is so sad to hear. So sorry you had to go through this. Hope you have a speedy recovery, Sindi.
i had a heart attack last night im only 15 i had a super realistic dream and a friend of mine told me "you did leave someone didnt you" then i felt an extreme squeezing pain in my heart
"Because of COVID I had to walk in by myself" what... really... She's having a heart attack but god forbid going to the hospital without a mask
Recently a coworker had one at work, damn i panicked, he is okay now, ambulance was there in time 🙏🏻
Thanks for sharing your story. I'm really glad you're ok (physically at least) and have the support group.

Thank you for sharing this! Super brave and courageous
Thank God you survived.
Such a beautiful woman😍
I myself am an EMT in Texas. I make 17$ an hour. I recognize these EMT’s definitely missed the obvious signs of radiating pain to left arm and excessive sweating. A properly trained basic life support clinician would have recommended she go to the hospital with a high suspicion of heart muscle infarction regardless of 12 lead EKG reading. I also recognize the EMS system more than likely has a bias due to the demographic that typically fills it which may have played a part in what I suspect may have been negligence. Also, I realize that it is a hard job with high stress. EMS workers deserve more support to bring in additional workers and better benefits to keep current ones happy. I’m grateful she was able to survive such a terrible fate and I hope this is a learning opportunity for all those involved in EMS.
I'm so happy you have the support that helps and yes God got you sis!

I can’t believe the paramedics gave the option to stay home even with those symptoms ....
Right??,?
This scared me but I needed to know this too, so thank you for talking about this
Ugh, sorry for this lady!! As a paramedic I would NEVER talk a patient having chest pain out of going to the hospital, even with a normal 12 lead you could be having ischemic chest pain! Not a very smart EMT!!! I hope they got schooled!!
So glad you survived. I've been there, you were lucky. I hope you're doing well.
BuzzFeed - Would you be interested in another one of these except ‘I survived a stroke at 45’? HMU (recovery process still ongoing) P.S. This was last year so also... ‘during a pandemic’
