[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 507885, member: 84"] I'm an oddball, I had many of the classic symptoms. Which actually, is sort of what threw me........I knew the thing about women. But I also knew in my gut that there was something really wrong, that wrongness was profound. by the way don't wait for the "wrongness" feeling either. husband didn't get it until his 3rd day......and many folks, male and female alike never get a feeling like that. I was very very lucky. Mild heart attack with no significant damage done. My symptoms were crushing chest pain that came and went, pain up the side of the neck tracing the path of the caratoid artery up into the jaw, a searing piercing pain through my armpit that felt like someone was shoving a red hot metal lance through it, and pain down the left arm. husband just had the chest pain, and burping. LOTS of burping. BUT.........and now I feel like a complete :censored2:, the burping was caused by the body trying to get rid of CO2 that was building up in his system from heart failure. But unfortunately those are also the symptoms of severe GERD and esophogeal stricture which husband had suffered from for more than 20 yrs. So those of you with GERD, slightest doubt, go get checked out. No one will be upset you did so, in fact, they'll be thrilled you came in to get checked. easy child still comments on husband's triponin levels (what they're looking for when they do blood work to see if you're having a heart attack). She works the cardiac ICU at a major hospital, has had YEARS of experience, and had never heard of a triponin level of 400 before. Even the cardiologist had never seen such a thing. Let's put it this way, 40 is severe.... My mom only had pain in her left arm and jaw. Sis had one huge crushing pain and was down for the count. She was lucky she was riding with my step mom caught in traffic behind a major accident on the freeway.......step mom didn't know what to do when she couldn't find a pulse and went running for the medics. Luckily for sis there was an extra medic unit on scene. I think the fact that so many have been affected by it at such younger ages is alarming myself. [/QUOTE]
