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.
Wow! Same with me. Had a heart attack driving between Naples, FL and Cincinnati, OH. 2012. Just me and a couple cats.
I turned around and drove back to Naples and slept it off. Then drove the next day to Cincinnati.
Wife made me an appointment to see a doctor who said 95% blockage.
Got a stent the next day. Doctors said I was extremely lucky it didnt kill me. I had an unusually tight bend in the LAD that got filled with plaque.
I think what saved me was that I kept hitting myself in the chest after I stopped the car due to the pain. Hitting myself felt better than the heart attack.
Im glad you survived! Me, I seem to have a hereditary aversion to over-exerting myself, or exerting at all, so I guess that saves me to ride the Buell another day. Did have to make a slight exception for shoveling snow.
Day after that I had a heart cath, angioplasty and a stent for the LAD 90% blocked.
Had the same blockage. Felt like someone poured hot coffee straight into the inside of my chest.
