Oh man, sorry to hear that! Hope you have a speedy recovery!
Me too. Lesson learned, Do not disregard chest pain, shortness of breath or warmth on left side of neck, at least for me. Wife is a little stressed and worried now... She was there the whole 3 days in the hospital, and took me home, then grocery shopping etc etc. Children are more attentive now, as they realized the severity of it. My animals are all over me now. Wont leave my side, they must know something was up... But, seriously, I blew the symptoms off once, and didnt really do much about it other than stop and rest when overseas. Got home, called Doc, Doc said get butt to ER now. BP was 206/110. All tests were showing no heart attack, and only one test of many , CT nuke stress exam was abnormal. Heart cath, and it showed a 99% block LDA.. Very fortunate.
Wow it sounds like you caught it in the nick of time! My dad had a "sudden" heart attack, but then later admitted there had been warning signs all over the place that he kept ignoring. One was when he was out mowing (self-propelled mower) he would have to stop at the end of every row to catch his breath! A lot of chest pains and shortness of breath too. He ended up getting quintuple bypass surgery, then later a pacemaker/ defibrillator. He lived another 10 years but was never the same again. So be glad you caught it before it went that far. And if you smoke, please stop asap! That was the main contributor to my dad's clogged arteries.

I never smoked, just apparently ate bad.. And speaking of lawn care, I was fertilizing lawn with a push feeder. I got winded several times, and then called Doc.
