Not me. I had my first ever episode of chest pain. I was doing the "Elvis" thing, and I felt a knife stick in my chest back to my right shoulder. I gathered my wits about me and I moved very quickly grabbed the bottle of asiprin and started chewing. I laid down and it took 5 minutes to subside. Since it didn't come back I went about my business, called the doctor today. He had a fit.
I think he knew I was scared so he calmed down a bit. I went to pick up the bottle of NGT he called in. He said if it happens again go to the ER and I made an appointment to see him on Friday. He told me to decide if there are any cardiologists on the list I know. Hell, I know Oncologists and Pathologists these days. I would rather wait a while to see the latter.
I am in the "why me" phase. I am on lipator, chol 144, BP is 110/70. I have had rapid rhythms so I take atenalol. I printed out angina from web MD and put it in my husband's brief case. I am open to any comments any one has. I am 51 with both parents having MI's. They smoked, I don't.
