@miramar1234 wow, glad you found my comment. What I’ve learned is that SCAD is little understood by most doctors. Having said that, most of the knowledge around it pertains to the people that tend to have them: Middle aged Women. I am blessed to have a cardiologist who knows a little more than the average one about it and he told me (and my research supports it) is that men are far less likely to have a connective tissue disease that causes it than women are. My research also indicates that it tends to be a “perfect storm” scenario that will cause it: strong emotional state along with a violent or aggressive physical act and stress. All at once. I know for myself that moments before I had mine that perfect storm described me to a “T”

I’m not saying he doesn’t have one of those diseases, but if you can say the above is true for him, I suspect it was just the same sort of thing. I think it’s the closest thing to “dying from a broken heart” that there is. Please stay in touch.
