Thanks Fish
interesting read with words that I havent a clue what they mean
my interest is because,

a couple of years ago
I had a heart attack and a couple of by passes

I asked the cardo dr's why me
(seems thats a common question)
in my situation
I was rather fit for my age, weight ok for my height
and rather active
didnt eat much or if at all so called junk food
no lollys or choc stuff
we cook mainly fresh foods
no smokes ever in my life
try and eat as much sea food as possible
very low drinker, a bottle of wine lasts 3 to 4 days for me

and his answer was
its in your genes
its in your family
and he was 100%right !
asked how long has this been building around my heart
the answer was at least 10 years
(this totally blew me away)

I has two arteries blocked 96 and 94%
(I won gold lotto, right there)

This might save some one
my experience

at 9pm I took a shower, ready for bed
that afternoon I had used the whipper snipper

after the shower, I felt a pain, slight pain the size of a 10 cent coin
on the edge of my left arm pit

didnt think anything of this pain and went to bed
next day it was still there and then it moved half way to my neck
arr thats all because of the whipper snipping.. I thought

next day it moved again.. thinking now that odd
went to bed

next day
my thinking was... this cannot be right, this moving
the size or slight pain had not increased

I might ask a Dr........ might

with the wife in the car
I droved about 5/6ks or more to the After Hours Drs
told them
and straight within 2 minutes a ECG was placed on me
and the chart came or like a 2 year old had a pen all over it

was told straight to EM Hos, >>>> now......which was about 2 ks away
faster to HAVE MY Wife drive me than wait for the Ambo's

in hos for 3 weeks

NOW the message to all
this idea of pain in the middle of the chest is a heart attack
is correct.... BUT not always
ANY PAIN, above the bottom of the ribs should be ...it could be...

and this includes a small and low feeling pain area
like mine

and dont be a bloody fool like me
and wait 2 days plus after the heart attack before doing anything
as you might not ever wake up

and dont be a bloody fool like me
and drive your self
as I could have crashed and killed some one

trust this might save a life

Expand

FYI
what save my life was
I was rather fit

if your in your 40's or less
and DONT think you can have a heart attack

think again, please
