I lost my friend Sunday Morning, because of a Heart Attack. He had been complaining of indigestion, and chest pain for a little more than a week. We have been friends since we were 9 years old. we were 62 since oct and jan.
Both his wife and I had been Begging him to go to the Emergencey Room to be checked. He kept saying he would go to his doctor after Easter.
He died of a massave (sp) Heart attack Sunday between 4am and 6am needlessly because he was to stuburn to get checked out.
I don't know what we'll do without him.
PLEASE DON'T TAKE CHANCES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If there is an immediate danger to any
serious heath issue,I'd call 911.
Those guys are fabulous and the salt of the
earth.
And I'm very sorry to know about your friend.
His example made me look at myself and I ended up having a quad bypass and I made changes in what I eat and drink, plus I walk and exercise now.
You only get the one body and spare parts are hard to get.
I can identify with him. My own felt remarkably like indigestion. Several times, it even responded to Maalox and alkaseltzer. The only difference was the neck and arm pain. When in doubt, get to the ER. Let THEM tell you it is GERD. Don't make the diagnosis yourself. Mine ended up being a blocked LAD artery and won me 3 stents. [:D]
How old are you, if you don't mind me asking. And two, how old were you when you had this victory, and won your three stents?
Just curious, as I'm trying to motivate myself to behave better. I don't want to have a heart attack, and exit, just yet.
ETA: Or anybody, who wants to share how old they were, when they had a heart attack, please feel free to tell, as well.
I recently been experiencing some acid reflux, not surprising being that I eat the world hotest pepper daily, I narrowed it down to the gum I chew, in on day 5 of prilosec, so far so good, but at 47 it always scares the crap out of you, deep chest pain that can drop you to your knees

I am truly sorry about the loss of your long time friend.
NO ONE is guaranteed another second in life.
All you have is the moment you're currently living.
The next moment... Could be the end of life as you know it.
Live life to its fullest and taken nothing for granted.
To ignore anything is to acted in ignorance of what you have.
he did an ekg, and sent me to Birmingham. I had a 98% blockage to the main artery in front of my heart. they were able to open it with a stent, so that saved surgery.
The Doctor said I was a heart attack waiting to happen. I keep a check (have regular ekg checks)since.
I'm very saddened we lost him. I am also pissed because he was so stuborn.
NS
they told me and actualy a 20 something yr old guy down the hall from me not uncommom any more to have heart problems
