In reply to the discussion: So I had a heart attack a week ago Sunday. [View all]central scrutinizer
(11,666 posts)69. There was no pain with my heart attack (2007)
Just a feeling of discomfort similar to indigestion. Had it off and on for a couple days then drove myself to the emergency room. I was out of my hometown and knew no doctors in this town. A blood test clearly showed it was a heart attack so I was wheeled into the OR and had a stent implanted. Been good to go ever since. Glad I didnt ignore it or Id be pushing up daisies. Obviously you couldnt ignore yours. The only upside to intense pain. I hope your next 16 years post attack are as uneventful (health wise) as mine.

So sorry to hear and glad you're ok. How long until the pain subsided?

What a scare. Interestig the pain went away as soon as stent inserted and drugs irrelevant.

Went through it in '92. Today the ticker works like an expensive time piece. Glad you got it in time
