Glad to have found this group on Mayo Connect and thank you, Daniel777 for the FB support group recommendation. I was diagnosed as having an MB in late 2020 that caused a small heart attack(no damage done). I had been raking and blowing leaves the day before and feeling increasingly short of breath and weak to the point where I would have to sit down after just a few steps. I went inside, rested and felt better but still worried about my symptoms that night. The next morning, while going upstairs, I had the classic signals of a heart attack in a woman: acute shortness of breath,fatigue,cold sweats,pain in my jaw/neck and shoulders(an later chest pressure) and dizziness. The emergency room contacted my cardiologist who confirmed it was a heart attack which he felt was caused by my newly diagnosed MB(LAD ran through a section of intramyocardial). I had no atherosclerosis. I was kept overnight for further testing and as a precaution and was prescribed metoprolol 25mg and a baby aspirin daily.
I’ve had no recurrence that I know of other than sob during exercise. In retrospect I did faint after dizziness and heavy cardio the year before shattering my humerus. My cardiologist doesn’t seem at all worried about further trouble with my MB & said I can go 2 years now between checkups. One other possible symptom I have is frequent extreme sweating from the head which seems to be hereditary too as a cousin and nephew have it too. Wondering if, since I live in Cleveland, I should schedule an appointment with Dr. Johanna Ghabrial?
