As I stated before, listen to your body. On February 10th I am glad to say that I did just that. Upon arriving at work that day I noted some pretty unusual sensations in my chest and an ache in my jaw. I phoned 911 and was transported to the local Hospital ER. My EKG was normal when I arrived. They drew a blood sample and offered me some baby aspirin. After a short while I called for the nurse as my chest pain was increasing. The on call cardiologist ordered a 12 lead EKG that showed I was having a STEMI heart attack. I was quickly whisked off to the Cath Lab, where the doctor placed a stent in my LAD. Crisis was averted. Unfortunately when the staff prepared me to move to the ICU I suffered another heart attack. It seemed as if the original stent became partially blocked and two more stents were placed. Three months later and I have pretty much recovered completely.
He knows what was in the report. This report was from last year, and no one said anything to me about anything being wrong. I was told the cat scan was normal. I don't know why I wasn't told this, or told that I needed to talk to anyone.
