Date: February 7th, 2025 4:25 PM Author: Smashy McSmashface Was what they call a STEMI(100% blocked artery). Meds worked to releive it then during procedure still showed 80% blockage so they put a stent in. Resting now with chance of full recovery in 6-8 weeks.

Date: February 7th, 2025 4:36 PM Author: Smashy McSmashface This is probably most important thing if I can get across here.
Complete surprise... Worked out then came home and had breakfast. Suddenly had this odd feeling in my chest. Nothing painful. Closest I can describe it is acid reflux but you know it's not. Just uncomfortable. Also had the feeling to lesser extent in the neck and jaw.
Since it didn't go away after couple minutes I found an old bp cuff we have and it was super high 160-170 over 100-110. That's when I thought this may be something serious going on.
So don't put off any odd feelings in your chest. Doesn't have to be painful or getting sweaty and light headed to be bad. Cardiologist said that's biggest mistake people make is putting it off and not getting checked out ASAP. It isn't going to stop by laying down. Time is the key.

Date: February 7th, 2025 5:57 PM Author: Smashy McSmashface Thank you. Heart has multiple arteries running in 4 different chambers. So my lower left chamber wasn't getting oxygen near the blocked artery. It fucked up the heart muscles around that area but the cardiologist said a good chance they will fully heal in 6- 8 weeks since it was caught in time. If I had put off going in I would not be here as that lower chamber was dieing. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5677164&forum_id=2#48634625) |

Not a heavy drinker but liver is tied into everything. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5677164&forum_id=2#48634648) |

Fortunately, most posters are wheezing hypochondriacs so they would react like op. Many people in his position would just take a Tylenol or w/e and "power through it." |
