I Survived A Heart Attack...

so, that guy on here saying he was your adult son? that was made-up? you claimed he was your son, too.

his av was the black marching boots - nazi looking style

at 32 there is no way hou wld hv had an adult son a couple of years before your last heart attack in 2016 at age 31

I think so too. Luck and blessing go hand in hand :)


Blessed are the lucky.

I'm definitely gonna pour a bourbon tonight.

I asked the cardiologist who done my life saving procedures if I should quit drinking bourbon and he said.

"GOOD GOD WHY? It saved your life. You wouldnt be here today if you didn't drink!!!"

Lol. Sound advice doc.

Oh yes definitely.

Many deaths in their 40's from heart issues going back 100's of years on BOTH sides. I was screwed genetically. Even of my people live to be "old" - it's their hearts that get em in the end.

On Thanksgiving of 2016 I started having significant pain and pressure in my chest. I went to the ER.

After tests... doctors determined I had a moderate heart attack.

So docs sent me to the cath lab and they looked inside my heart.

Turns out I had:

100% Blockage (which was old)
90% blockage
70% Blockage
And FIVE 40% blockages.

After a couple of caths to implant stents I was gave the all clear and released.

The old 100% blockage had bypassed it's self. Which is rare to happen!

Turns out I had at least 5 heart attacks before this one.

The kicker I didn't have any heart damage.

So not only did I survive a 100% blockage... rare! But walked around with it for a year. I had no damage to my heart. I thank Jesus and Bourbon for that. My daily cup of bourbon thinned my blood enough that I didnt die.

I was 31 at the time of the last heart attack and weighed 190 pounds... and I was very active. In case your wondering. I walked 15,000 steps a day on average. This can happen to you at any age. Any fitness level.

I've seen many cardiologist since and got all kinds of different opinions and they all agree. They don't know HOW I am alive.... much less have no damage to my heart. God and Bourbon. God and Bourbon.

i heard in a tv show flies have nine hearts..or something like that

Ever since my lung collapsed Im always feeling pressure in my chest. Didnt know it was a sign of heart issues. Had it for over 10 years now on and off. Just thought it was something to do with my collapsed lung.

Holy shit dude. God bless you and I’m so happy you are alive.

I’m 27 and this scares the shit out of me. I’m a father to a little girl and holy shit if I were to die tomorrow, nothing would be ok. I’m an avid scotch drinker and I walk 15,000 steps a day too... eerily similar lifestyle, save for the manual labor. I walk a sales floor all day and construction sites.

My diet is not homegrown. Lots of Non-organic foods (they cost too much). Tons of Romaine lettuce ceasar salads, basically a high fat high carb diet. I drink chlorophyll and try to eat veggies when I can. I’m 5’11 and 175lbs. Not obese.

What were some of the warning signs? What did the pain feel like? I have chest pains regularly, and it hurts when I breathe in, almost like I can’t.

PM me if you have to.

Thanks man. God bless.

OP, out of curiosity, what does your blood pressure run?

Many thanks. A toast to all our good healths!

Always ran super high.

Now it's normal with meds.

Someone asked about your cholesterol, I think the cholesterol thing is mostly BS to sell statins as I've seen studies that showed people with heart disease had cholesterol levels all over the place from high to very low, but it would be interesting to know what your levels were if you know, and did they put you on a statin drug afterwards?

Cholesterol was always high too. My Cardiologist was concerned that my doctor (whom I rarely visited) didn't put me on any meds prior.

I didn't get full check ups often so I cant say what my levels were. But I recall my cholesterol was like 750 one time.

I have a new doctor that monitors me every three months. He says I'm text book on all my vitals and blood work. Have had many nurses and doctors tell me you couldn't tell I ever had a heart attack judging from my stats.

I take lipitor for cholestrol. Which is Atorvastatin

Went from no meds to a handful every day.

Holy shit! 750! I used to visit Heart Scan Blog which was ran by a cardiologist years ago. He was way more into fixing the issue through proper nutrition rather than medicine. Unfortunately, it's not there anymore. I don't recall ever him having a patient with that high number. That's nuts. It's [link to www.wheatbellyblog.com] now. I prefer hear scan blog because it's mainly about learning how nutrition affects your cholesterol through cholesterol blood test that he did on his patients and shows how much better after fixing their diet. He did mention that a condition familial hypercholesterolemia, maybe same as yours, is rather difficult to deal with.

Be careful with lipotor because it leads to another problem.

The doctor taught me a lot about cholesterol in depth unlike others - [link to www.wheatbellyblog.com] Eye opening for sure.
