    I’m glad you are still here. I didn’t like the burn on the left side of my neck and on both my arms. I was sure something was wrong Ang it took a few days for them to find it. In the CATH lab they found the widow maker 90% blocked not 70% like they thought. I was having a heart attack but they couldn’t tell because they were looking for symptoms I never get, an irregular heartbeat! I live very healthy but I decided that it was dairy that was causing the problem so no buttermilk, yogurt or even dairy ice cream. I had to also change a high stress toxic contact as well to improve and clear out the plaque that was happening. My service dog alerts now and then and that gives me time to back it off Buford it would happen. She can smell the chemical changes so she gives me warning time. I get silent heart attacks and and EKG doesn’t see it.all I get is a heavy feeling or feeling pressure but no pain. So be warned especially females

    My husband survived the widow maker heart attack two years ago. Our son performed CPR on him. He was unconscious for about ten minutes. While he was unconscious he suffered a brain injury from lack of oxygen to my brain. He struggles with simple things every day now. Please learn cpr, and never take your life for granted. It could be over in a heartbeat.

    His case sounds so much like mine.. I started having chest pains..unbearable chest pain. I was in route to hospital on an ambulance and was alert then the next thing I remember was waking up with the paramedics talking to the Emergency Department explaining that they had just completed 3x shocks and 3 plus minutes of chest compressions..arrived at the hospital and they took me straight in to the cath lab and saw that I had 100% occlusion of Left anterior descending artery.. the doctor looked at me and told me how fortunate I was that night “you survived the widow maker”…it happened on January 10, 2022 … six days ago and doing much better right now

    Thank God, I just had a 100% blockage of the RCA. Two stents were inserted after coronary drilling. Between it and a 100% occlusion in my left Carotid that was surgically removed, I feel good. Right now my body trying to balance the two.

    Today marks the start of my 8 day widowmaker heart attack, I had no pain other then my back middle of my shoulder blades. On the 25th I made it to the hospital. And it was a very grim outcome, I was given the worst scenario but I will myself to live. I ended up getting 3 stents, from a very talented doctor. ❤I’m very grateful to be able to write this message, follow you gut and seek medical care even if you don’t have insurance.
