Is this a heart attack? (3 Viewers)

[0rion]

So getting to the age where that’s a legit question
Since Friday I’ve had some weird bug (slight nausea, body aches, little appetite- but no fever really)
So last night I got these chest pains (but really I think it was dehydration, actual chest muscle tightness), but I tell ya, nothing gives you a good night sleep like - “is this it? Am I going to have a heart attack in my sleep and my kids will find me dead?”

Fun times

Sounds like a normal Saturday night here. Actually last night I go to fill my pill box and discover I'm completely out of my BP medicine and no more refills. Not sure how I let that happen but hopefully I make it until Monday when he can call me in more. I crammed a fist full of chicken wings down my throat a little bit ago so I should be fine....chicken wings are a great substitution for BP medicine. Read that on the internet.

Bunch of pedialyte and potassium. If you dont have potassium in your system it can make your heart do weird stuff.

Magnesium as well.

Go see your doctor. Or the ER if you’re symptomatic. How bad would it suck if your doctor said, “man, if you had come in earlier, we could have saved more of your heart”..? And you said, “well, I just kind of wanted to reflect on it and ask my buddies at SR. Someone just said it was my blood pressure.”

pro tip: impossible to tell exactly what this is just based on your post, but I’m 99.9% sure it was not your blood pressure.

hey, at sr, we are all backseat doctors. though it would be kinda funny, not really, but yes, if he went to the doctor and responded with "sr said it is only blood pressure...dumbarse."

i couldn't breathe well and my left arm went limp. standing up wasn't an option for 5 minutes or so. no real pain but totally unable to move. that was 13 years ago------ it was definitely a post-coital myocardial infarction

My wife had a blockage. She had minor pain in her elbow and wrist off and on for about two weeks. Her blood pressure was not elevated and she thought the pain was due to indigestion. She also felt a little run down and would be out of breath after doing simple things.
Get checked out if you haven’t already.

Magnesium as well.

Magnesium is the big one for heart electrical circuit. My doc made me take supplements, and when I take them my heart is way more chill and even paced. When I go a couple weeks without I feel it.

The baby aspirin around at all times is good advice.

Sex is over forever. Come to terms with that

Maybe skip Halloween events particularly haunted houses

Find God ( it’s easy, he has a glowing light around himand long gray beard)

Be sure to continue to consult this thread ( I’m sure there is legal advice regarding the inheritance tax coming)

And i was criticized for getting advice about teen screen time. Jeesh

I've always heard it was better to go out with a bang.

This method only works when you rub some dirt on it first.

Leave the medical advice to the experts, you quack.
