Sorry to hear about your poor health, Burgo. Glad you're home and on the mend, though. Do what it takes to get healthy.

I know you are aware how treatable your condition has been and is.  I imagine that you will take advice to modify behaviors, and you will enjoy a long bright future.   Smile

Like I said in the email I sent, please take care of yourself and be well, Burgo.

PS: Hope this makes you smile: when I said "Be well", I was not referring to Demolition Man and the 3 seashells.  TeddyR

It's nice to hear that you're okay.
My grandfather had a heart attack...maybe not even once. But he's with us.

Anyway, I hope you'll get out of the hospital quick!

I appreciate all your support!  Luckily, the heart attack wasn't too severe and I'll be back to work on Monday.  But I need to start cardiac rehab and I'll be taking several pills every day.  My advice is this:  if you have chest pains, go to the hospital immediatley.  I didn't know I was having a heart attack.  I thought I had muscle strain in my neck and chest.  It started Sunday (not very painful, just a bit of discomfort).  I even went out and used the snow-blower to clear our driveway.  Monday, it was a bit worse, but I went to work.  Monday night it was terrible . . . I laid awake in bed for 3 hours in the middle of the night.  Tuesday morning I took some Motrin and the pain disappeared.  BY COINCIDENCE I had a doctor's appointment on Tuesday and I casually mentioned that I thought I pulled some muscles in my chest.  The doctor took a few tests "just to be safe."  A couple hours later, she called me at work and told me to go to the nearest emergency room immediately.  First thing Wednesday morning, I was having a cardiac catheterization.  If I didn't have a doctor's appointment already scheduled for Tuesday, I probably would have gone about my normal routine for several days and then had another heart attack.

Oddly enough, I have a craving for a pork sandwich with extra salt.

Trevor - I didn't get you e-mail.  I recently changed my e-mail address and the one in my profile was the old one.  But I appreciate the fact that you sent me one!

Hey man, get over it!!   Just kidding, take care and adjust your life style accordingly.

Three of my older brothers had major heart attacks before age 50, one actually dropped dead and one was in a coma for 4 days and afterwards was put on a transplante list.  The other had by pass surgery.  The one difference between me and them was that they had all smoked for over 30 years.

I went when I was 45 and had a heart CT  (it's very rapid CT that takes the pictures while you heart is beating then combines them in the computer) anyway it can find hard plaques in your Coronary arteries.  It gives you a score (mine was  low ). But my doctor put me on a statin drug because they can actually flush some of these plaques out.  I haven't had another one, but I get lipids checked every six months.   My overall cholesterol stays about 150.

If you have a family history, this is a good test for finding out if you're headed for an attack.

I wonder if I should.  I believe there's history on my father's side.  However, I'm about to turn 26 so I dunno if I should be checking it just yet.  But, I figure since the rest of my body is seemingly falling apart, I might as well.
