'The doctor sent me home suggesting it was just gas and added as I walked out the door - 'Don’t worry. You aren’t going to drop dead tomorrow.''
I didn’t go to the ER the night I had a heart attack – in part, because it was inconvenient. But also, it seemed unnecessary.
The following night, around 3 am, the pressure came back. Only, this time, it felt like someone was jamming a beach ball into my chest, pumping it up so it nearly exploded and then pumping it up some more. I felt dizzy and nauseous and immediately called 9-1-1. How did I not know? How did so many others miss this? The truth is - we still tend to think of a heart attack as something that happens to people who are old, overweight, or obese. I was none of those things, so doctors weren’t thinking about a heart attack, and neither was I.
One night, when my wife was traveling for work, I remember lying on the sofa after putting my daughter to bed, and tears filled my eyes.I could barely close my eyes that night as those thoughts raced through my mind.
