I am in the same boat. I had my 1st SCAD an Vasal Spasm Heart attack at 39. I am now 58 and have had a total of 5. Also non-smoker, non-drinker but a stress junkie. I would not change anything except maybe taking more time to appreciate each day we are given. I also have FMD, hereditary high Chlorestoral and Vasal Spasms.
One thing that helps is that you recognize the symptoms immediately and react accordingly, which means getting appropriate care sooner so hopefully less damage. No one is promised another day so we need to make the most of each one!
