in Fitness and Exercise
It was not due to cholesterol or plaque, that was all normal. It was because something broke loose and got into the circumflex artery and platelets started sticking, causing a block. One cardioligist believes it was because of strenuous exercise. There is no way to tell for sure, but I just started my 3rd month abd am sending Chalean back. I can't take any chances. I can walk as much as I want after I heal. I just want to let others know that if you EVER have chest pains, PLEASE TAKE IT SERIOUSLY. I started having chest pains Saturday morning and went to the er. It wasn't until this morning that they were 100% sure it was a heart attak. Innow have a stack of medicine that I will be on for a longtime.

    Thanks for this message. Many of us (me?) should probably check in with our doctors as we get healthy/fit.

    Glad you went to the doctor right away and that you will be ok - great reminder that pushing too hard and ignoring the signals our bodies send is not a good thing - I've seen so many posts from people who think that exercising til they puke or get dizzy and almost pass out is a badge of honor. Take care!

    That is scary. Did the doc say anything could have prevented it?

    Hope you get better soon!! Thanks for letting us all know what the cardiologist said. I think we all push ourselves a bit too much and we need to learn to recognize the signals. For women jaw pain is a big one that most ignore. Take care and you will be up and about sooner than later.
