I'm Back - Had a Massive Coronary/Angioplasty x2/ 3 Stents

I'm just getting ready to turn 34 and I had a heart attack. 100% blockage. BP was 55/38 in surgery so it was too low to sedate me. Felt ALL of it.

Did you feel any chest pain days prior to your heart attack?

[faegrrrl]

My M.I. hit me in the shoulder and in the middle of my back right between my shoulder blades and then the deep, deep inside chest pain that NOTHING could relieve.

Prior to that I was just very stiff, I felt unhealthy and my left shoulder up by my neck felt weird.

It's pretty amazing how medical people can save lives. What was your cholesterol level? Do you have to do any type of rehabilitation?

[faegrrrl]

It was an absolute MIRACLE. I have no clue what my cholesterol was (it's normal now) but with being agoraphobic, the rehab that used to be here wouldn't take me since I couldn't commit to 3x/week. So I learned what to do on my own. :)

How is your Dad doing? Yes, my main artery was completely blocked. It's amazing what they can do with the heart now.

Know that feeling! Just had my second visit to the cath lab at 37yrs old to stop a second MI. needed 4 stents. Had my first 2 stents10 yrs ago a 28yrs old. Had been smoking since 13yrs old. Gave up for two or so years after first visit but fell back to 20 per day. Though i'd be ok since my colest. had come down from 10.9 to 3.5 with statins. how wrong was I! Smoke, eat crap. die in 10 yrs. very painful way to go. wont be smoking again! shame it took this.

HOPE YOU CONTINUE TO FEEL BETTER

[mamazalama]

Why are you feeling so sorry for yourself? , you are alive thanks to modern medicine - I, too, just had a MI & stent placement. So what? It hurt, yeah, so what? It also hurt to have five kids and to have gallstones and kidney stones, but so what? Life is pain, but pain is not life...you live on beyond this existence so don't worry...it's all just a game. I highly recommend that you look into alternative medicine such as homeopathy.

i hope you feel bether now i have to do the same i am realy scare because i have 4 dother and i am the only support they have god bless you manny

[MissMousy60]

I feel for you. I do hope you are doing well now. My uncle just had a massive coronary tonight and is now on life support. I have a lot of anxiety like you and feel so afraid right now of death. Just being at the hospital made me feel so sick and scared inside. I know you must feel so afraid being only 34 with heart disease. You are so brave. Please take care.

[ke422azn]

damn, you are only 34? I hope you didnt get a Taxus or Cypher stent, they suck.

added text: had what is called a roto routher to try to clear the blockage. didn't work. in total i have had 11 caths. living life like this is very hard.
