Heart Attack Symptoms

http://www.alegent.com/stories

Steve was not the person who you would expect to have a heart attack. He was very active, ate well, lifted weights and ran. His health had always been a priority. So, his heart attack was a complete surprise.

On an otherwise typical Sunday morning, Steve began having extreme chest pain. He was taken to the emergency department at Midlands Hospital where he received an angioplasty and a stent. His heart stopped twice during his procedure. Both times, Steve remembers extraordinary out-of-body experiences.

After recovery, he completed Cardiac Rehabilitation at Midlands. He now runs farther and faster than he did before his attack. The experience has been a strong reminder to live each day fully.

Ive had that chest pain too, but i was told that it was not a heart attack. I was told heart attacks feel more like someones putting a weight on your chest and it hurts.

Very interesting story, Its great to hear this kind of experiences from people that have survived to different medical conditions. Generally we hear experiences from doctors on how they treat their patients, but its also useful to hear the patients point of view.
