Saturday was a rough one for me... I was just relaxing at the house and had pressure on my chest like someone was pushing their fist on it. Within 10 mins time I was begging my wife to get me to the hospital. Within 6 miles I told her to pull over at the fire station because I was in severe pain... Felt like I had a horse sitting on my chest. They got the ambulance to my location and after 325 mg of asprine and 2 nitro glycerine pills I was feeling a bit better. Well to make a long story short I was taken to the hospital and was had a ton of test run. Had a heart cath done yesterday, and was told that my heart looked good. What I was told by the docs was that I suffered a minor heart attack. Now I am home just taking it easy for at least the next week or so.

That's the sad thing. I watch what eat, go to gym 3 times a week, not over weight, don't have high blood pressure, clostrol is in check. Just can't figure out what caused it

I had similar incident a few years back and, just like you, I'm in good shape (5'11" @ 170lbs) and wife has me eating healthy. Can't recall the last time I was "stumbling" drunk + my job's pretty physical. My situation was also diagnosed as "possible" blood clot passing through lung. Glad to hear you're ok as well & we've got alot of good years to come!!!
