[Yo-Yo]

LAD artery. Same with me in 2015. Started having chest pressure ONLY when I really overexerted. After the 3rd incident I finally decided to tell my wife. After she stopped yelling at me she made me make an appointment with a cardiologist for the very next day....Day after that I had a heart cath, angioplasty and a stent for the LAD 90% blocked.

Ditto. Mine was 2011. I was working in the back yard, and suddenly couldn't catch my breath. I never had the radiating pain thing, but I just couldn't breathe.

I went to the doctor, who took a chest x-ray and did blood work for heart attack enzymes, and said I was fine.

I told him NO, I WAS NOT FINE.

He scheduled me for a stress test, "just to allay my concerns." Two weeks later I had the stress test which had me run on a treadmill, then flop on a table for a sonogram of my heart. The doctor didn't like that one chamber wasn't pumping as hard as it should, so I went immediately to have a heart cath.

I came out with a stent in my LAD that had a 95% blockage.

I was fortunate in that I was able to tolerate a Radial artery access heart cath. In the wrist, across the chest and down. Beats that groin access any day.
