Many of you have asked me to talk about my heart attack. In this video I describe the symptoms I had, and how they were not what I expected. I hope talking about this helps others. Thanks to all of you for your support and prayers through this time!

    Wow I'm sorry for your loss. My father also had a heart attack last Friday, and fortunately he's still kicking and will probably be discharged today. He's smoked since before I was born and I'm 28 now. The Dr told him he'll NEVER be able to pickup a cigarette again. I just hope and pray my father has the will power to stop. He's 65yrs old I believe. The world would be a much better place if cigarettes were never invented...

It's a slow buildup that is accelerated when you smoke, and happens in a vicious circle. For most, first us diet is the least of issue.

    I;m glad to that you shared your story and I'm also glad you are OK now. I'd like to share my story with your viewers if you don't mind. I had 3 heart attacks in one day back in December. I woke up at 4:00 am with chest pressure I thought was heart burn. I really felt like I needed to burp. I took 2 Alka-Seltzer and started walking around and even went outside for a smoke and to walk around to try and work up a burp. I started feeling better so went back to sleep. About 10 am the next morning I was eating a bagel and a glass of milk then the heart burn started again, then I was short of breath, then got dizzy and I was really scared. I knew something was wrong and I drove myself to the ER and they said my blood work showed I had suffered a heart attack. I was admitted for tests right away for the following day but before I could be tested the doctors and nursed came into my room at 5 am and asked if I was OK. I said I felt fine then about 2 minutes later I had my third heart attack. The doctor told me they needed to do something for me or they were afraid they would lose me. 2 hours later they completed surgery where they installed two stents in my heart. The reason I had heart attacks while at rest was because the blocked arteries were semi collapsed because of low blood flow from a slow heart rate. The plaque in your arteries is sticky and made my arteries stay closed keeping oxygen from getting to my heart. The second and third attacks really hurt and scared the hell out of me. Before having the heart attacks I had been feeling weak and everything I did felt like a chore. I chocked it up to getting older, I'm 62. People, pay attention to your body, don't smoke and if you do, quit. See your doctor regularly and exercise as much as you can. I couldn't believe it was happening to me, not me, heart attacks happen to other people, not me. Thanks for reading my comment.

    Very similar story to mine, upper back pain for a day, woke up to get ready for work, sat up, got dizzy, then just felt like my entire insides dropped like a roller coaster. I realized something was wrong, told my wife to drive me to the hospital (4 min away), started feeling nauseated when getting in the car, vomited as we pulled into the hospital, they rushed me in and got me hooked up and said you are having a STEMI (affectionately known as the widowmaker). They transported me to the next hospital lights and siren, I went directly into the cath lab and 15 min later had a stent in place. I had a 100% blockage of my LAD artery. Had I delayed any, it would have been a different outcome. I was 54, and my father passed away at 54 of a heart attack.

Now I realize it's after I'm doing something physical. So I'm watching videos to convince me to go to the doctor. Which I will soon but today we just got ice and snow so I'll have to wait for them to clear the roads.

    Back in 1985 my dad, a chain smoker had a pain in his left shoulder for months. He went to the doctor for it and was given pain pills. I remember him putting an ice pack on it and wearing a sling at one point. He worked nights and before he went to work that afternoon the pain got worst and he broke out in a sweat. He ended up going anyway and around midnight the pain got bad and he was sick to his stomach and sweating. He drove himself to the VA hospital and when he walked into the lobby he collapsed. He had a massive heart attack. They scheduled the surgery and he went home with a bottle of nitroglycerin. He had to use it several times over the next month. He had quadruple bypass by the famous heart surgeon Dr Debakey. He actually walked the Baylor College students through it from what I hear. He made a full recovery and didn't even need to take any meds till the late 90s. Got had to get stents put in a few times. He lived till 2015 when his heart finally gave out at age 80.

EMT had mentioned this upon my first anxiety attack, where I felt stroke like symptoms! I’ve had a couple since, but after seeing multiple specialists… I was diagnosed with severe anxiety. I hope you’re feeling better than ever and staying routine on your diet and exercise regimen.

    Before my heart surgery for a single bypass, the only symptoms I had was slight chest pressure, no hard pain, but pain in my neck and jaw. My wife, a retired Nurse insisted I get checked out so we went to the ER around 9:PM. Resting, they didn't see any major problem but due to having a 40% blockage years earlier, they admitted me for testing.Long story short, there was some damage near where the blockage was and they couldn't get a stent in so I had a bypass, robotically. Everything was fine after that for five months, then a three week bout with AFIB, six months later in Sept. of 2019 AFIB started again and won't go away, one cardioversion did not work so I will have an ablation in the next month..!!

I'm in my mid 30s now so I think it's time to give up the smoking for good. Stay healthy, man. Love your videos.

    So glad you are well. I'm a Type 2 diabetic and have had strange sensations/pains for months and went to a cardiologist for all the testing but everything is fine. I have the same pains in my upper back, near my neck and also my left shoulder, my entire left arm down to my fingers, and my right arm sometimes, my jaw, weakness and exhaustion. It happens at rest as well as when exercising. Went to the ER and the dr said my blood sugar was high, no heart issues. He said it might be neurological. I think a CAT scan might be a good idea in my case. Just thought I'd mention all this for any other diabetics watching.

    Thanks for telling your story Matt. I was admitted in the hospital ten years ago as I suspected I was having an MI. My grandfather had several from his thirties to sixty-three when he had a massive heart attack and passed. He never smoked, drank and was not overweight. My mother had a massive heart attack in the early nineties and lived for several more years. For the past two weeks I've been having noticeable chest pains and waking up where my sheets were drenched. I moved up my cardiologist and they were NOT happy I didn't go to ER. I got really scared because I didn't feel right and was somewhat lightheaded and both arms went numb and my finger tips were tingly. Then, the right side of my face went numb as I had been taking nitro on/off and symptoms weren't really abating. I have never smoked or done drugs but I do drink heavily and am a good thirty to forty pounds overweight. I'm hypothyroid for twenty-five years now. The EKG was unremarkable and they didn't draw blood for Triponin. I've been through two flat down stress tests and the Doctor had me go in for a heart catherization the next day. The procedure indicated no calcification and my arteries were clear thank God.

    Great video, thank you for sharing your experience! I had almost the exact thing happen after an argument with my wife - the pain, the breathing, the soreness for days afterwards. About a week and a half later, I mentioned it to my doctor and they did an EKG (I think that's what it was) and confirmed that I had recently experienced a "light cardiac event" of some kind. It was rather shocking news, since as you point out, we think of heart attacks as "Ack!" grabbing the chest and fainting or whatnot. If nothing else, your video confirms that what I felt was probably a light heart attack. Which really sucks, 'cuz I'm only 43. Ah, well. Thanks again, though!

    Glad it worked out for you. My 49 y.o. brother had a heart attack, had two stints put in, had a second heart attack that took his life within seconds while kayaking upstream. How we know that is he was found in the water 4 days later and the autopsie showed two massive blockages in the left artery descending, ( a widowmaker heart attack) but no water had been inhaled. The doctor had never told him he needed to take it easy for awhile after the stints (one had moved incidentally) released him to his physically demanding job a week after surgery, and my brother saw it like this, if I can go back to work that must mean I can go back to active outdoors lifestyle as well. Unfortunately, some people don't take something seriously if their doctor doesn't. They would not even let the word "heart attack" be spoken in the room. So to a degree the denial was aided and abetted by the doctor. My brother not thinking for himself can't be denied either. You are taking serious risks to exhert yourself by kayaking upstream a short while after a two stint heart attack. You are pushing serious odds.

    Thanks for sharing your experience! I had a heart attack on Sunday. Just doing some gardening with the tiller, which shook me violently as it ploughed around. When I came in to rest, I'd discomfort on my left shoulder and upper part of the chest...but not exactly near the heart. I felt something was wrong. It didn't happen to me over a period of 3 days like you, but just 30 minutes later i felt dizzy for 15 seconds & the next thing I realised was cold sweat all over my face. I immediately took 2 aspirin tablets (325mg each), and 2 more after an hour. I'd read in some first aid manual about giving aspirin to someone having a heart attack. Aspirin is a blood thinner & quickly restores blood supply through the blocked artery. After 2 hours my discomfort greatly reduced, but I immediately took a cab to the hospital which was only 5 minutes away. They took several tests immediately. ECG was normal. X-ray showed no enlargement of the heart. Blood pressure was 127/85...BUT the blood test registered the heart attack through some protein that the heart muscle released as a distress signal. It was supposed to be
