I'm 41 and and had a heart attack Monday morning. They opened 1 blockage and are treating another with medication. Please pray for me.

I am praying; I'm about your age(43) and my family does have some heart issues within the family, so this somewhat concerns me the older I get. Did you have any signs before it happened? How severe was it?

Holycrap. Sorry to hear that. The upside is, they know what the rest of your heart is like now. My wife had to get scoped and it did a lot of good over all. Rest up.

It was what they called a "mild" attack. I had pain in my lower jaw, in my left shoulder and of course my chest. I knew I should go in right away.

Sorry to hear this man, will be prayin' for ya.

I'm a bit younger than you but I have noticed that maintaining health isn't as easy after 30, it seems downhill every year.

If any of you have netflix, watch "Forks over knives" I watched it and I am now vegan for the last 3 months, lost 20lbs feel amazing.
