53, never had a problem until that day.
EKG was normal but the blood work showed I had a heart attack.
High cholesterol + smoking = not good....
I still find it weird that somebody snaked a catheter into my heart and implanted two foreign objects.
Luckily my heart didn't suffer any obvious damage. It was still getting some blood to it by collateral arteries that are not common. 1 in 3 people have them.
I lucked out.
I quit smoking this time using Chantix. It has some scary possible side effects but I didn't have any.
It works pretty good but you have to taper on and off of it.
Now I take Plavix, Antenolol and Zocor for the cholesterol.
