    Thank you for sharing this. I’m 36 & just suffered 2 heart attacks within hours and a coronary artery dissection on 12/12/2023. So I’m two weeks into recovery. This is all very new and scary to me.

      My very young 21 year old Grandson was in a serious auto accident less than 2 months ago. He had internal bleeding around his heart. He came through & went home mending we thought rather quickly. But, suddenly had chest pain that sent him back to the same Hospital. Now diagnosed with fluid around his heart & hours later a heart attack! Holiday weekends are mot in my opinion the best time for an emergency to the Hospital! The Doctors in this young man's case can't decide what to do next! So, my Daughter made an apt with a Specialist soon and wants to take her Son home until then. Serious concerns come to my mind! I hope he can go home maybe with a monitor until his new apt! 🙏 from his Gram

    My dad had a heart attack 4.5 days ago. My mom started CPR right away and within 10 minutes the paramedics showed up and shocked him enough for him to get a pulse. He apparently coded again as soon as he got to the ER. He had a quadruple bypass. It was a Stemi.
    He has been taken off all other medications now, bp and heart rhythm are good, but they cant seem to get him off sedation or ventilation.
    They try weaning him off and from whats described he gets "aggravated", his BP spikes, and they think he will injure himself. He cant breathe manually or follow commands while sedated. The nurses are hopeful because his BP spikes when he hears my moms voice and he still has motor function. They were saying at one point he was somewhat able to follow commands, but the doctors are less hopeful of if he does survive, will he have a quality of life.
    Im scared we are going to lose him. The worst part is, Im not home. I was on a vacation at a convention in NYC when it happened and that morning started coming down with a minor cold that has been getting little by little worse through the week. I couldnt see him if I wanted to because he's at risk of pnemonia and infection. I feel like an awful daughter for not being there for my mom and dad, but I would feel more guilt if me being sick and visiting him or going home and my mom catching it and taking it back to him ended up being what kills him. I was told my best option is to stay put unless his situation changes. I feel lost and guilty. I just want him to be okay..

    Do cardiac rehab, buy a treadmill, change to a predominantly plant based diet, cut out salt and sugar as much as possible, get a sleep study to see if you have sleep apnea, get a dog, snuggle with loved ones, stop watching ‘the news,’ enjoy everyday and cut out the killer - stress!

    Had 3 heart attacks in 1 hr on 10/18/23. Received a Stent, and blockage cleared, I had 100% blockage on the left side. Two cardiologist at the cardiac hospital in Chicago where I was taken both signed off on my return to work 4 days after the attacks. I am a long haul trucker, and I tarp, chain, strap loads, carry 150lb tarps up on to 13 foot high loads. Very strenuous work every day. Both cardiologists stated that "if we send you to another cardiologist and don't tell him you had a heart attack, he'd never know by reviewing the images of the heart". They said my heart is beautiful and can't see any damage. I left the hospital and immediately went to work, changing semi truck tires. I have never smoked, I don't do drugs, don't drink, and eat healthier than most

      My heart attack was very similar to yours, my left artery was completely blocked but they told me they couldn't put a stent in and I had to be treated with medication.
      They said my heart is irreversibley damaged and is only working at 50% it's copacity.
      I'm only 42, 41 when I had the heart attack last month.
      Maybe it's because I'm in the UK but the after care is terrible, I'm still waiting to see a heart specialist, I've spoken to 4 doctors on the phone and all they go on about is quiting smoking. They can't answer any questions I have for them.
      I've come to realise why Americans pay for medical care, you get far better treatment.
      It's like the saying goes, "you get what you pay for".

    I just had a heart attack a few days ago. Friday. Stent Saturday. Today is Wednesday. I don't smoke much, and I can't quit. I'm already suffering the depression and I think ptsd. I'm scared to breathe.

    Great Video. I very recently had a heart attack which required a stent being installed. The procedure went flawlessly. however, I came home from the hospital with what felt like a Monstrous chest cold. Hacking cough which produced phenomenal amounts of green goo. My question is: should I be concerned about flu like symptoms after a stent procedure or is this likely just a common cold?

    I'm 42 now, I had my first heart attack 3 weeks ago, 2 days before my birthday.
    I've been told by the doctor that my artery is completely blocked and they can't put a stint in. They're treating me with meds.
    I wake up every morning terrified I'm going to have another because I can't get a straight answer from my doctor.
    Since Covid they're useless.

    I am a 62 year old woman who has paroxsymal hypertension and hyponeutremia from Long covid, which caused me to have a heart attack(NSTEMI2)on July 6th, 2023. I recovered from it with cardiac rehab, but then had another heart attack a day after being exposed to Covid this past December 10th. The following day after a cardiac MRI, I was diagnosed with Myocarditis and pericardial effusion as well. Then the day after I was released from hospital, I came down with Covid and covid pneumonia and bacterial pneumonia. I finally feel like I can get out of bed a day after Christmas. My question is, being that I also had Myocarditis, and one should not excercise with that, when should I start to go to cardiac rehabilitation again? I am afraid to do the wrong thing. The first time I had an NSTEMI2, I had a pressure in my chest and left side of my neck, but this time, it was mostly a bad upper back ache and a little chest pressure, but both times, I just "knew" even though I have had hundreds of paroxysmal episodes where my bp goes as high as 230 over 115. Most of the time, it is a normal bp.

    My 69-year old brother had a cardiac arrest on 12/20. He is doing well. In Cardiac rehab now. He just had his first Echo since cardiac arrest. Only showing 5% improvement. He was quite discouraged. Is this normal for 90 days out. Can he hope to see😮 this number improve more?

    I had heart attack in Feb 22....I neglected the symptoms...... actually I consulted 2 physicians for shortness of breath and high blood pressure. But they simply prescribed asthma and bp medicine. I didn't had bp medicine bcoz I thought I may addicted to it. Ultimately I had heart attack and now I m heart failure patient with low ef
