I see that no one has replied to your posting. I have had similar experiences. Age has little to do with it though it once may have. I underwent a triple bypass at the ripened age of 34 years. Once we come through a catastrophic illness..we tend to have a renewed zest for life. All to often,,it is short lived. Don't let that happen to you. Live your life fully and watch after your health. Being so young has it's advantages. You can heal more thoroughly and more quickly and you can have so much time left to live with your cardiac health in mind. Get reliable information on dieting and exercise regularly. I know you have heard that over and over but it is because it is worth the repeating. None of us think we are wasting our lives here on earth yet we lose so much thinking we have all the time in the world left. Once you have faced mortality, as you and I and others like us have, time takes on a new meaning and can be to our advantage. God bless your life.

Hi. I just wanted to say that for two months I thought I had indigestion. I tried everything in the store and nothing worked. So, I made an appointment with my regular doctor to get something stronger. She felt I had some blockage and had me pick a cardiologist and a surgeon right then! The cardiologist saw me that day, put me in the hospital and I had open heart surgery. I had three blockages, 100%, 80% and 75%. He told me I was about two weeks away from a massive heart attack! Everybody has different symptons. Hope you're doing well.
