On 11/04/08 while I was doing my morning walk/run, I felt an unusual pain in my jaw and mouth under my tongue. I wasn’t far from the house so i returned home. I was short of breath but I thought it was from running. I couldn’t bring my heart rate down. I had diarrhea, felt nauseous.

I got into the house and immediately got into the shower and still I felt strange. When I got out I called 911 and told the dispatcher I thought I might be having a heart attack When they got there, my pressure was normal and they hooked me to a ekg and saw some abnormality but didn’t seem too concerned. They gave me a nitro and baby aspirin. I vomited on the way to the hospital. When I got there they immediately started an i.v and again hooked me to a moniter. The dr. came in and said I was having a heart attack and they needed to get to the xcath lab, i have a 100% blockage.

I’m a 53 yr old female. and I try to take care of myself. I ended up with 3 stints. just amazing, get your hdl/ldl checked every 3 months. My damage is 20%.
