I had pain in chest that radiated to my back. I couldn't sit down, or walk or lay down because the pain got so bad. I was a smoker back then 2006 and I said, " Lord, I don't want to go out like this, and if you take this pain away, I promise I'll never smoke again." Well, immediately the pain went away, and I feel asleep. When I woke.up I said I made a promise to God so I'd better keep it..so I did!
AMEN!
Good choice
Clearly it was a different issue and not a heart attack.
Allahu Akbar well done.
My husband died in 2017 Thanksgiving week. He complained o shortness of breath and being tired a lot. But never complained about anything else. He was a avid runner and a vegetarian. I never thought anything like that would ever had happened. Everyone was shocked about him dying. He worked all day and when he was almost home when he had his heart attack. The only thing I noticed about him before the heart attack is that he looked tired and his eyes looked so bloodshot. Never seen anything like it before. I miss him so much everyday.
I'm so sorry for your loss Glenda 🙏🏻💛
Thank you so much
Sorry for your loss. Hopefully you have good friends and family to help you.
I'm so sorry for your loss
I'm too am sorry for your loss. It really sux to lose someone so close. Life just doesn't have that shine that it used too. I know.
1) Pressure on the chest, often the left side (where your heart resides)
2) Referred pain in left arm, jaw or neck
3) Feeling weak
4) Ashen looking complexion
5) Dizziness
6) Cold sweats
7) Shortness of breath
8) Nausea
9) Not being able to count your own points... OK, I just made that up clearly, but forgive me, if you read this first, I just saved you from 10 minutes of complete boredom. You're welcome.
Thanks. I don't watch Bob & Brad because - though useful info - they drag 3 minutes into 12. A lot of banter between themselves. So thanks!
@@darcyyoung1462 Amazing how they consider one another entertaining. Actually I'm amazed that anyone would find them entertaining, but clearly they enjoy one anothers company.
Bless you...
Speak for yourselves
Thank you
I predicted my own heart attack to a cardiologist and was told to go away and see a psychologist for anxiety. When I had the heart attack he didn’t have the manners to apologise. By the way I had all these symptoms and I’m a woman, women can have different or more subtle symptoms.
Totally agree. Mom, 97, just had one a mild one and some blood clots were found, as well. We thought it was indigestion or heartburn. Spent 4 days in hospital, she's back home and is on bloodthinners but still feels tired. Some of the meds doctors prescribed were causing her too many side effects... anxiey, dizziness, and nausea. I talked to her primary care physician to lower dosage and give us some alternatives. I'm praying she recovers.
They will not apologize ever. I was put on radatidine and took the half used bottle to the dr. and asked what should I do with these? They are recalled as causing cancer. She said just throw them out. No apology, although I did expect one. At least a bit of concern would have been nice.
5 years ago this March i had a mild heart attack which lead to my diagnosis of having systolic heart failure after stating 4 to 5 months previous to my primary care doc that i have had since i was 23.. check me let me have a full exam .. it got pushed off.. when u had mine it was like indigestion with heaviness that i couldn't shake.. was diagnosed with this all at age 44 .. been on low so diet ever since and still fighting the weight and i am active.. take care of your bodies .. I'm not where i wanted to be at age 50 but i am alive and these guys are so informative.. love Bob and Brad the 2 most famous physical therapists on the internet ❤👏😁 (let's say this , listen to your body, it is giving u signs like they state here) also my primary care listens to me since my warning signs but it was anxiety and all that from issues i had going on at the same time (whiplash, Plantar fasciitis, should injury, 2 pinched nerves 🤦🏼♀️) call 911 if u have issues is the bottom line
@@mmm316m3 yep
Did the symptoms happen at once like did you feel arm pain then chest pain
I was a 50 year old female at work, getting ready to go home. I started having a pain in my neck. As I was driving home the pain radiated thru my jaw. Then I started coughing for no reason. I knew that something was not right. I drove to the hospital was taken in to emergency room were I started breathing hard and loud. The nurse told me I was getting enough oxygen and to stop breathing that way. I couldn't, it felt like I had to breathe. Turned out I was having a heart attack then everything changed, I was put in a ambulance and my heart stopped. It took two shocks to restart. When they took me to the hospital room my heart stopped three more times they put two stents in the rca. The doctor said had I gone home to lay down I would not be here.
Please if you have pain anywhere, go to the hospital!
So true. We just lost a 40 yr old successful celebrity when he slept with chest pain n did not wake up... RIP SIDDHERTH SHUKLA
Cant believe nurse told you to stop breathing like that! Glad you are okay. Thank you for describing symptoms.
Thankyou
My biggest fear I'm soooo glad you made it
🙏🏼
My father had a ruptured aorta and insisted on driving himself to the hospital with me in the passenger seat, though I was a competant driver at the time. He dropped me off at the emergency entrance while he parked the car a block away and walked to the emergency entrance where he was met by emergency personnel. He died on the operating table 6 hours later. Men.... stop being heros! It could cost you your life! :'(
I'm very sorry for your loss. He sounds like he was a strong man. It's very sad that happened to him.
So sorry, some men are like that. He died still caring for you, good man.
Sorry for your loss
My best wishes to you and your family x
Oh bless you I’m so sorry 💔
Another thing to consider that I learned with a loved one is that if you call an ambulance, not only can they treat you on the way to hospital, but you can go straight in to ER, but if you or someone drives you, you have to check in at ER and go through triage!! That can take a while!! Thanks for the info!
My Aunt isisted on waiting for her son to get off of work so he could take her to ER. She didn't make it. It was terrible. She passed away as they were taking her blood in the ER, awful.
@Betty Johnson: I worked in ER for years and whenever someone says “chest pain, “ they DO NOT make you wait.
Sad thing is, so many people believe that saying "chest pain" means they'll have a room waiting when they get to the ER. So an ingrown toenail often becomes "chest pain" and an ambulance ride. But if the assessment in the ambulance and then the initial intake assessment in the ER says probably an ingrown toenail and NOT "chest pain", then no. You don't get to go straight to a room. You get to wait. People abuse the system. That clogs the system. And people with real "chest pain" get lost in the shuffle.
@@deborahsemaan1341 Too bad even though the signs say to speak up if you are having signs of a stroke, you still have to sit and fill out paperwork and wait your turn. It just happened to me yesterday.
@@deborahsemaan1341 you must have worked at a very good hospital. I have been in the ER with people who had cardiac symptoms and they were left waiting. If you truly think you’re dying, take the express route and call the ambulance.
I had severe (like a truck ran over them) pain in both arms. I had an appt with my family doc the next day so I waited. I showed up in her office sweating profusely with the worst heartburn (acid reflux) pain I ever had. My blood pressure was NORMAL...so...because I have arthritis and a few other autoimmune conditions, she talked to me like I was one of her pediatric patients in a sing song voice "Now Linn, you don't have any redness or swelling in your arms from an arthritis flare that I can see...you seem fine...mmkay?" Went home and my husband forced me to go to ER around 5 am. I was in surgery within 30 minutes. Two stents. The cath nurses called her and told her off. Let me tell you this: Doctors patronize and talk down to women and it gets worse with age. Studies show this trend, over and over. After I got out of the hospital, the apology voicemails started. I finally called her back and she STILL gave me pushback, defending her idiocy. "But your blood pressure was normal!" I told her: Keep ignoring your patients' clinical presentation and you're going to be responsible for someone's death."
Normal blood pressure doesn’t mean you aren’t having a heart attack (as you well know!). They must check your cardiac enzymes through blood work, and do EKG’s. Anyone that even thinks they are having cardiac issues must take an aspirin and get to the Emergency Room! Call an ambulance so you can get on a monitor and be given oxygen. They will keep you on bed rest and give you oxygen in the hospital (if they deem it is indeed cardiac) to allow your heart to be rest as much as possible, and will do tests and surgery if you need it. Above all else… TREAT YOUR STRESS! Stress CAN bring on a heart attack.
@@shannonhawkins3296
They must check your enzymes every 20 minutes. They checked mine and found nothing, until I went into cardiac arrest, as I understand. I had upper arm pain in my RIGHT arm.
Hey Linn!! I’m so sad you had to experience this!!!! Ugh the narcissist Doc can’t take responsibility. I’m so happy you got the surgery!!!!👏👏👏😘
Good for you that you went to the E.R and got help and great job for let her have it
I have experienced the same with my primary care doctor. It is so scary
The ambulance charges too much to just call it every time you feel this stuff. The first concern the entire medical industry should address is HIGH COST OF EVERYTHING!
Yes!!!
Yes! It is $800 a ride in my city. Im an old age pensioner. Got 0 savings. How am I going to pay for that?
It's basically $1500 to walk into an emergency department. The bill goes up from there as they add diagnostics and medications.
Yeah, no shit! "Call and ambulance" right....so my family can suffer the pain of my loss AND a large bill at my expense. That's what I want!
@@ranstra12 Insurance?
My nephew told his wife he had heartburn and was getting out of bed for awhile. He had done this before so she didn't think anything about it. He was 55 and ate very healthy exercised regularly. She found him lying in the living room and the last thing he searched on his phone was heart attack symptoms. We had his funeral today. My niece is devastated.
Yes!
My friend was at work, told me she'd be going to the doc in an hour for reg checkup & be back as soon as she was done. Didn't hear back from her til next afternoon when she called from a hospital 30 mi away. Her doctor listened to her heart, called a squad & she had open heart surgery an hour later with no symptoms AT ALL. She is still fine now 15 yrs later. God is good!!
God IS indeed good!
The anxiety this alone is causing...is gonna kill me. 😳
I don't know why I read this stuff either. All it does is create added stress!
If it causes anxiety then you need to observe this as useful information because it could infact save you. You can deal with your anxiety symptoms by taking in slow deep breaths through your nose and then breathe out slowly through your lips and relax. Do this by sitting down with your head tilted back and eyes closed, then let me know how you feel after doing this please?
It takes practice but try it.
Yes! I have severe anxiety/health anxiety and depression. And right before I clicked on the video I said “ I’m not clicking it, not gonna watch” but here I am and worried myself shitless.
@@mingram7748 same problem with me more I read more nervous I get
Well its official....
I've been having a heart attack for 18 years.
😂😂😂😂
Me too!!
Sameee
I’ve been having a heart attack since I was born lol (obviously satire)
Please take things seriously okay. So many things mimic other things. I just pushed my symptoms off as whatever. My husband found me face down in the garage. My heart stopped. I had a sudden cardiac arrest. I lost 5 weeks memory. That's okay though. I am still alive thanks to my husband being home and the first responders.
7 Warning Signs:
1) Pressure or squeezing in the center or left side of chest
2) Referred pain, left arm, neck or jaw, even the abdomen
3) Feeling weak or sluggish, lower energy then normal
4) Ashen color on their face, grey looking
5) Cold sweat, dizziness
6) Shortness of breath
7) Nausea, feeling rather ill, or not feeling right
During my heart attack I had only jaw pain, but I had a weird impending feeling of doom, which is why I went to the ER.
I was about 35. Had fleeting pains that felt like they were just behind the skin of my chest. They would come and go and kind of wander around. I finally went to my doc. He said..”what's going on in your life?” As I was adding up all the stressors, it became pretty clear that I had a stress load that was way too high. After that conversation he said, without touching or examining me..”when you go out the door, the pains will stop”. He was right. From then on I have been super careful about my stress level…stress kills!
I lost 2 brothers to heart attacks. One was 53, the other 59. Both were heavy smokers. The first one had left shoulder pain for a couple of days, he thought he pulled a muscle in his shoulder. Then he became short of breath, called paramedics but died before the ambulance got to his house. The 2nd brother was feeling flu like symptoms but was beginning to feel better. On a Monday morning getting ready for work, he suffered cardiac arrest in the shower. His roomate found him after realizing his truck was still outside that morning. Both brothers smoked a pack or more a day. Their arteries became thick from smoking, and as both their autopsies confirmed atherosclerosis as cause of death. I miss them so much. These guys were the best brothers I could ask for. For any smokers out there, please quit. Smoking not only causes cancer, but can also cause heart disease.
You are so right to share your story!!! People only think that cigarettes damage the lungs and that they could get lung cancer but they have no idea is that cigarette smoking causes heart attacks and strokes!!! As an RN I am telling you.. if you cherish your life and your family stop smoking it can be done!!! I quit my roli twenties and I'm glad I did!! And this was way before it was popular to quit smoking!! We also did not know the cardiac risks back in the 70s like we do now!!!
@@elaineworobey9338 Thank you! I hope more people will realize how dangerous smoking is! Also thank you for your service as an RN.
Sorry for your loss 🙏🏽
@@bigsexy1598 Thank you.
Omg god interesting and also Angela you have my daughter name
My dad lived an ultra healthy lifestyle, and still succumbed to a heart attack at 57 years old. Part of the problem was that he was not really ever sick, so he didn’t see a need to see doctors. Preventative health should include Check ups too. Not just healthy eating, and exercise.
Natural Man thanks, He just didn’t consume alcohol, any processed foods, and he avoided excess carbs. Basically the opposite of the standard American diet. He also exercised regularly. Just a week before his death he was being honored at work for having perfect attendance for 30 years. The man never took a sick day. It’s all very ironic.
You can’t run away from genetics. His family has a history of heart disease. You can take steps to prevent the onset, but you can’t prevent something like that if it is encoded in your DNA. If he had kept up on preventative health visits, it’s possible they could have caught early signs of a problem. Less than subtle clues that were visible in his postmortem.
Did he regular take his blood pressure?
Thanks for your story
Diet too meat and dairy is bad along with sugar and carbs plant based diet can reverse heart disease
@@Investigativebean you are absolutely 💯RIGHT. You can't run from genetics. I'm sosorry for your loss. I am here cuz of this new unbearable pain in the left center of chest shortness of breath. Several autoimmune diseases. Have been dismissed by so many Dr's. I'm scared. Hope I can find a human dr, before it's too late. My aunt just died 2014 heart attack. Smh
I had a heart attack followed by a by pass and for several weeks I had an overwhelming feeling that I would just drop dead. No pain no pressure just a feeling of dread. It would come and go. My doctor was on vacation but I managed to see two other doctors that told me I was fine. Then after one of those spells I went to the ER and they to sent me home saying they had sick people to take care of. Finally after ten days my doctor came back and when I went in and told him how I felt, I was having a heart attack. He did an EKG and discovered it. If something doesn’t feel wright and persistently so…keep seeking help. No one knows how you feel except YOU and you will know when things aren’t as they should be..Be persistent it could save your life.
I'm an EMT for 28 years. Too bad these aren't symptoms a month in advance, these are the symptoms of YOU MAY BE HAVING A HEART ATTACK NOW!!!
Too true , they are describing symptoms of a heart attack, I was lucky.
@@paulrixson5828 putting it a video like this claiming it's a month in advance warning I'm almost tempted to research what state they're licensed physical therapists in and passing this along to the licensing board. Chances are they'd lose their license. I'm also a first aid instructor and if these were such advanced symptoms it wouldn't be curriculum that they are pretty much immediate trip to the Dr, ER or 911.
Well, my brother was 49 and had the "Feeling weak or sluggish, lower energy then normal, " "Nausea, feeling rather ill, or not feeling right" several times in prior month - never suspecting heart issues. Decided it was just job stress and decided to go on a little hike to help his energy and mind ... just a bit into the hike he decided to go to Dr. because he was feel nausea and dizzy kinda suddenly. 4 stints later he was ok ...... so yeah, he had (in retrospect) warnings in the prior month ...
@@clwest3538 I’m 49 and two nights ago, I felt a chronic sort of emotional ache in my chest, I got super sleepy and dizzy, I had to lay on the floor to retain consciousness enough to eat some food, and then I felt a bit more together. I definitely have been feeling like something isn’t “right.” It feels like a sad ache in my chest, and I’ve been oversleeping and not eating enough food, and have been short of breath. I think it may be like a depression or stress symptoms, but I told my friend, I felt like I’ve been “shutting down.” I don’t want to be dramatic, but my gut is telling me to call my doctor tomorrow, and see what they say.
What does it mean if you get a slightly painful squeezing of the heart after a burst of exercise but no other of the listed symptoms?
They said more than 7 (nothing new):
Chest pressure
Referred pain - jaw, neck, arm
Body weakness
Ashen color
Dizziness
Cold sweats
Shortness of breath
Nausea
Dawrong Witch Thank You

I have most of those. For years.... Am I dying? 😅

I knew I was having a heart attack the day before I had it. I even told my mom. It was a bad one with 3 blockages, stents and 40% of my heart damaged. Then I knew I had another blockage a year later and thankfully they cleared it before I had another heart attack. Then 2 years after that I knew a week before my open heart surgery for a double bypass that something was wrong and again, avoided another heart attack. I didn’t have chest pain with my heart attack. I felt it in the back of my head. It felt like someone hit me with an aluminum baseball bat and then I started having weird feelings in my left jaw. I turned red and started vomiting and my blood pressure was 210/120. My norm is 90/60. I was 47 years old, 113 pounds, ran 2 miles every day, only drank water and ate healthy. Turns out I have coronary artery disease which is hereditary. Very scary stuff and I’m glad that I’m so in tune with my body or I might not be here right now.
CONGRATULATIONS for your heart surgery, hope you are safe now! 💯🍀🤞🏼💘💓
Since you said it was hereditary, did you mom or dad suffer in such a way, "heart attack"?
I would add that sometimes a heart attack is a long, drawn out affair. If due to blockages in arteries, you will be feeling gradually worse over years, then months, then days, then hours... For a long time, I just thought I was getting old, gained weight, was out of shape, and dismissed and rationalized what was going on until I couldn't ignore symptoms anymore. Looking back, I'm amazed at my ability to deny! Even the actual "heart attack" wasn't a "BAM" sudden kind of thing. I think many people have the wrong idea about how a heart attack can feel. Especially in women.
My SIL is a nurse. One day a person told her they just were not feeling well and weak but she would wait awhile to see if she started to feel better. My SIL said, the cemetery is full of people who said they will wait awhile to see if they start to feel better.
Well, skid row and bankruptcy court is full of people who went to the doctor for every ache or pain. Just saying.
Damn
People can't afford to consult a doctor in your "Greatest country on earth" for shame. Forget Jeff bezos being able to rid the world of hunger and STILL be a billionaire even making health care free wouldn't make a dent he'd still be a billionaire. The evil chokes
@@suedenim6590 She could afford it she just wanted to wait. My SIL reminded to wait is not a good idea. Go now if it is your heart.
@@suedenim6590 Not to defend Jeff Bezos but your math is way off.
I had a heart attack on December 5th after working in the yard in the cold. When I came in my chest pain was marginal. Almost, light digestion. I went all evening and night and finally went to the hospital the next morning. That night I did have a panic attack, and threw up and lost my bowels, cold sweat too, still I was not convinced it was a real heart attack. At 66 I am really good shape, no high blood pressure, eat well. But, weeks before this event, I was having high anxiety and electrical like feeling in my body.
Hope you are well now.
From my experience there was a subtle but important difference in heartburn from acid reflux and the feeling of ‘heartburn’ during a heart attack - the new pain was more specifically localized, more intense and further back towards the spine than ordinary heartburn.
Then I started to sweat like crazy, then numbness and tingling in both arms and hands - then the pain started 😵💫
Emergency open heart bypass surgery isn’t any fun … then a year of recovery and learning to live with 28% heart failure changes your perspective on life and makes you realize that most of the stress we worry about isn’t worth your time of day.
🙏
Is it still 28%?
@@terryperring104 yes, unfortunately still 28% ef and taking a huge amount of drugs - but I’ve found a good daily balance of diet and exercise that keeps me going, not complaining as others have it a lot worse than I do.
@@quacker998 Ah sorry, hoped it was improved. You have a commendable attitude sir 🙂
Man I tend to not stress over things I can’t control and let stuff be what it is cuz ik stressing all the time is bad and I’m learning to get better at dat
I just had nausea but it was massive. Thank God I survived 30 days in ICU Thanks guys
I had a heart last year. I never knew it! So 7 months ago, I stopped smoking & started walking. I'm 10,000 to 12,000 steps a day now. I feel much better!
*you left out back pain!* before i had my heart attack, *i knew that for women it could be back pain, and that's exactly what i had when i was having a heart attack.* it started with nausea that didn't go away in an hour or two, followed by pain that started in my back and eventually spanned across my back for the next few hours, from approximately my shoulder blade across to the other shoulder blade. there was no left arm pain, no jaw pain, no pressure on my chest, no change in blood pressure that i could tell, just on-going nausea and increasing back pain. in fact, it apparently started 3 days before, after i ate lunch ... i stopped to have a cig after i ate, before going into a store, and i felt very overheated, weak and woozy. i went home and took a nap, and 4 hours later when i woke up, the symptoms had subsided. 3 days later, the full blown heart attack i described above. i ended up having a triple bypass out of the deal.
Same here
My dad, woke up with a pain in his back, by his shoulder blade. Went the doctors within the hour. While waiting in the queue to get booked in, he collapsed in the surgery, all doctors came running out to resuscitate him. Got it going again, got the ambulance, Straight Into theatre, he had the chicken wire in his arm and stent. His doing fine now
A few hours before my father passed away, he was complaining of back pain, I had no idea it was a sign of an impending heart attack!
I have heart attack and back pain hope I will ok but I didn’t go see doctor yet
He was very lucky - when I once collapsed in the doctor's office (due to severe blood loss), I merely got shouted at by the receptionist for being two minutes late for my appointment!
@@Savannahpo hello. How are you now?
I have heard that before too about the shoulder blsdr. Glad your dad made it!!
One time I went to the heart hospital after I had an abnormal EKG. They did more tests and said it was an electrolyte imbalance. I almost had an actual heart attack when I saw the bill.
Definitely the bill
These are symptoms of a MAN having a heart attack. There are different symptoms for a WOMAN having a heart attack. The survival rate for a woman having a heart attack is not good because it goes unrecognized due to ignorance. Could you make a comprehensive video that includes the other half of the human population? Thank you.
yup so true. my mom was misdiagnosed. my dad called 911 she went to er and spent 3 hours had low blood pressure was conscious and by the time they realized she had blockage they put a stent in her lad. bu then heart was too weak and she died in icu 10 days later. borderline malpractice if u ask me
@@lexi-conby I'm so sorry to hear that :(
Is that why men are statistically more likely to die of a heart attack than men?
@@ThunderAppeal : i think you meant to ask if WOMEN are more.....
The number one thing that women die of more than anything else, even breast cancer, is a heart attack. I was not taken seriously at first when I had mine. I was 47, 113 pounds, ran 2 miles a day and ate very healthy. It can happen to anyone at any age. And yes, the symptoms ARE different. I had no chest pain. I felt like someone hit me in the back of the head with an aluminum baseball bat.
Hello Bob and Brad,
I am glad to greet you this morning! Two weeks ago I was taken by a wonderful team of EMS with atrial fibrillation. I felt nothing, except a “weird” sensation around my neck, under my tongue, into throat. At hospital it took four meds, six hours, for heart to return to sinus rhythm. I then had heart cath and four blockages discovered, soon in surgery. The leg where vein was harvested
Is awfully bruised and painful. But the chest pain now, up and down the incision takes my breath away. Everyone is telling me to breathe. Black and blue all over from everything. BUT, I am still here, given new life, new breath, new opportunities to live and enjoy family and my future! I thank God for the extraordinary cardiology team at Celebration Health, Florida. Two weeks post op, it’s hard but easier every day to walk a bit, sit a while. Laying on back is painful still and sleep is elusive. Praying for full recovery. Faith God has not given up on me yet and still has a plan for my life at 70.
Such a great outcome, Nancy. Thank you for sharing your story.
Blessings 🙌🏽💜
May God Bless you with a good recovery and many more years.
How are you doing Nancy? I hope you are well.
Are you still with us?
I'm a 68 year old female and had an emergency bypass operation (CABG X5) just two months ago. My only symptom was a small pain in the center left of my chest, like a muscle pain. It would come and go for about 2 weeks. I kept telling my friends about it, until one of them drove me to the ER to get checked. While there, I had increased pressure in my chest, and blood tests showed an elevated troponin level (troponin is an enzymatic protein. The troponin blood test for heart attack is highly sensitive and is considered the gold standard for determining damage to cardiac muscle.) Pay attention to any chest pain. It could save your life. Luckily, I had people who insisted that I get it checked out and they probably saved my life.
Did you have also the Protein C test blood high too?
Ms Pea your friend was your guardian angel that day for sure. God bless. ♥️
Bypass! was created by a Colombian, South America. just for you to know!
Thanks for sharing.
Plant based diet can reverse heart disease
I had toothache for two years, and that turned out to be a symptom a warning sign of my Widowmaker heart attack that I had on December 12th 2018, but then I went into a cardiac arrest, which lasted 5 minutes and I'm very lucky to be alive. Toothache that is not caused by tooth problem is definitely a sign a warning sign of cardiac issue
Wow. Had not heard that before.
Okay...I think I should go to the doctor now.
Why would you allow a tooth ace for two years???

The singer Tammi Terrell had severe toothaches that were linked to her brain cancer. The body is strange. Her dentist was the one who effectively diagnosed her and referred her to a specialist.
I'm not a doctor I'm a welder but I can weld anything but a broken heart and the crack of dawn! Thanks for letting us know the warning signs I'm 52 and I worry about that one!

@@barbarafriend9342 I do my best! 😁
I was 46 when I started having BACK pain early on a Sunday morning. It lasted about 5 minutes and would go away. Then I would fall back asleep only to be woken up again 2-3 hours later. Everytime this happened it was about 45 minutes to an hour earlier each time until it was happening every 10 minutes. My cousin was staying with me at the time and called 911. Meanwhile I was chewing baby aspirin. The EMT's said my BP was 235/190. Not good. But likely the aspirin saved my life. They got me to the ER in 15 minutes from 23 miles away. They were flyin'. The ER doc ran some tests and came back in about 25 minutes and said, we are not sure how many heart attacks you have had, but its at least 3 and we have booked the OR for Wednesday.
That got postponed 2 days. Afterwards the next day the surgeon talked to me and said they had planned a triple bypass, but on the table it was changed to a 6 way CABG. 3 arteries were 90% blocked and 1 was completely blocked in 2 places. After a week I was sent home the following Friday.
By Sunday I was so sick I couldn't stand and went back to the ER via the same ambulance. I was septic and all the work from the first bypass was completely destroyed. After the 2nd bypass, he left my chest open an inch and a half. My brother said he could see my heart beating in my chest. I told him that was a good thing. When I asked the doc how long it would be before I could go home, he said as soon as your chest closes up on its own. Because only then they would know the infection was gone. They also had a wound vac on my leg and one on my chest changed out daily. I went home 5 months later. I had to learn how to bathe and walk all over again and had a home care nurse and rehab for the next 8 months.
Now it was February of 2017 and my brother had passed on the first. After I got back home I was doing pretty good. That was until a valve collapsed in October 2018 walking into the VA for a Dr. appointment. I had a heart attack in the parking lot and ended up CRAWLING inside. They put in a stent that weekend. I felt great until July of 2020 when I decided to by myself a late birthday present at the Harley dealership. I had never been on a bike in my life. So I signed up for their coarse. However, 3 hours into the first day I was doing horrible. I was sweating so bad it looked like I had been thrown in a pool. With Covid, they didn't get me in until MARCH of this year. After X rays and an MRI, they scheduled an OR for angioplasty.They discovered a collapsed vein cutting off 20% of the blood flow in my heart. I had had yet another heart attack. I am doing much better now. 2 bypasses, sepsis, 2 stents and at least 5 heart attacks later. I turned 51 in May and have still not been able to ride the bike. So, my friend. Take care of yourself. But don't dwell on shit. Take life as it comes and live each day to the fullest. Even if that means you have to stare at your new bike a year and a half before you can ride it.
@@trombone113 thank you so much for sharing your story. I know that this comment is from years ago, however I appreciate the time that you took to write this. I'm scared to death that I'm on my way to a heart attack. I see my GP on Dec 1st and I will ask for a referral to a cardiologist. This comment prompted me to think about making an appointment. I thank you with all of my heart. I hope you're doing well and I pray that you see my comment, so that you know that your comment, may have just saved my life. Much love and respect from a stranger

@@trombone113 I just re read your comment, for the 4th time and realized it was only from 9 days ago! Now I have hope that you'll see my response! I'm wishing you the very best!
The tricky thing is anxiety can mimic every single one of these symptoms. Being a hypochondriac it’s impossible to know. I’ve gone to the ER so many times with these symptoms that the entire staff knows me and rolls their eyes when I come in, like here we go again…
Many smokers have “panic attacks “, anxiety. Don’t try to diagnose yourself (like we all do) and please don’t be afraid to call 911. They have the absolute most life-saving drugs and equipment and can get to you much faster. Pay attention to pain that doesn’t go away when you lie down and do nothing. That’s when you know to call 911 . And please, I doubt you’re a hypochondriac because a true hypochondriac rarely sees it within himself.
I completely agree with this! It's so scary. And then they just dismiss you once they hear "anxiety." I still worry up to now but I try to maintain my health as much as I can. I totally get where you're coming from.
How are you feeling now? Sending virtual prayers
My goodness thank you!!!
Same! And now Ive been in ER back and forth for 5 days last week...feel like going up again and feel stupid going because I feel like I'm annoying them. 😔
I had some of these symptoms. It turned out to be an Aortic Dissection, Stanford Type B. Thankful surgery wasn’t needed! Coincidentally, I am guilty of a call out on this video. I drove myself despite the pain. Call 911 in the future. Time is essential during these time. It can be fatal depending on severity (24-72 hours). Also, appreciate that they identified the medical issue accurately by the 6th hour in ER. While they were deciding if surgery was needed they had paramedics on standby to bring me to another hospital that could conduct surgery. It was determined surgery wasn’t needed due to size and I was rushed to ICU to lower my BP intravenously. It is now being medically managed via medication. Prayers and faith in God got me through and I am grateful!!!
Sounds like science got you through it.
I had a heart attack at 44 yrs of age....and it came out of nowhere....I got super sick and was vomiting a lot then I noticed a extremely weakness feeling like I've never felt before so I immediately called 911 and had no idea it was a heart attack.....I had NONE of the textbook symptoms....I was actually standing up when the EMTs came into my house.....I needed 2 stents .....but all I can say is that you will definitely feel something totally unusual and that's the time you call 911...
My little 91 year-old lady that I took care of started vomiting profusely and didn't feel right. She was ashen and sweaty, but no pain at all. They did an ekg and sent her home! I brought her back the very next morning, she was so weak and sick! They looked at the ekg again and said she'd had a heart attack! She died 2 months later😢
I worked in an ER and lots of times especially older people do not want to call an ambulance because they are afraid the insurance will not pay for it, but if you think you are having a heart attack you should because they can restart your heart and or give CPR till you get to the hospital. Also a lot of people say they feel like they are coming down with the flu a few days before they have a heart attack, just something to keep in mind.
I was in the hospital and nausea was my first symptom. It hit me fast and hard. I was already connected to monitors when this happened and each time nausea start the monitors lit up like pinball. I had the best treatment from nurses. I felt like they were my angels. Wonderful, considerate, hard working, people. My neck and jaw was so painful. My heart rate just kept going up. I just had minor surgery so I guess I was in the right place. I had 3 episodes.
What was the surgery?
I had all these symptoms over a period of a week not all at the same time but I had them all.
Please Don’t ignore them !
I was lucky to have had immediate medical attention when the major heart attack happened.
I was very weak & not expected to survive but with great medical attention I survived & went on to have a heart bypass which in itself is a horrible experience but life saving.
Never be embarrassed about calling an ambulance even if you’re not sure it’s a heart attack as it has the potential to kill you instantly.
Great informative video .
I had a routine physical about 3 years ago. I hadn't had a physical or been to a doctor in probably 10 years or more. I was 55 at the time. During a routine EKG, my doctor say's "Oh when did you have your heart attack?" I told her it was news to me. There was a cardiologist in the building and she sent me straight to him. AFter checking my arteries in the hospital a couple days later, verified one of my arteries is completely blocked, but the others are wide open. I don't remember any chest pains or any of these symptoms prior other than shortness of breath, but I was 300lbs, so shortness of breath didn't seem out of the ordinary to me. No stint, dr said damage was already done. Later needed a pacemaker too as my heart rate was going crazy for no reason. Have since lost 120lbs and feel great. Walk a couple of miles every day. Can't run, but I can walk and I do it every day. Pacemaker gives me peace of mind.
My husband died of a heart attack and the one thing I noticed a month before the ashen color in him. I did not know what was happening as it was in the middle of winter when color is pale. Thanks for mentioning this clue.
My dad as well. Just a couple of hours before he collapsed and died he was complaining of really bad back pain. So many symptoms not to be ignored. I'm sorry for your loss.
@@jillybean3688 Thank you. Best to you and I am sorry for the loss of your father. There are many signs, but not the typical chest pain always.
The best heads up on a imminent heart attack is the calcium score scan (CT scan)which highlights exactly where in the aorta or arterial system calcium build up .This is a real life saver scan because if you have a high score you can stop the build or reverse the damage by lifestyle changes.Calcium build in the arterial system is a sort of band aid to seal or heal inflammation caused by high carbohydrate intake like sucrose all wheat products seed oils fructose junk food alcohol etc.This test should be freely available to all citizens but then there’s a lot more dosh in disease management than prevention and big pharma wouldn’t want the masses actually healing themselves would they it’s not good for buisness 🙏🏼👍👍
Thanks for the info brudda, I'll seriously take this on board
My niece’s husband (34-year-old) told my niece he thought he was having a heart attack. She thought he was joking and laughed and he said he was serious so she put him in the car and drove him 15 minutes to the ER. Sadly, he was DOA. Always call 911!!
@@honeyrococo Is that Niacin?
@@sapphirestar5666 no, niacin is niacin. K2 is k2.
A calcium-score screening heart test (coronary calcium scan) uses computerized tomography (CT) to detect calcium deposits in the coronary arteries of your heart. A higher coronary calcium-score suggests you have a higher chance of significant narrowing in the coronary arteries and a higher risk of future heart attack.
I had a heart attack many years ago and my only symptom was a feeling of weakness and lethargy, which would come and go over the course of a few hours. No pressure, no pain, no sweating. If you’ve ever stayed too long in a hot tub (particularly after having had a few drinks) - that’s the sensation.
I would never have gone to the ER but I knew my wife would kill me if I didn’t. At the ER everything looked good, but the blood test was just a little off and they admitted me for overnight observation. After a cardiologist got his hands on me he said I had a 99% blocked widowmaker and I was restricted to bed until a procedure could be performed.
If my wife had not been so insistent, I would likely have had a fatal heart attack that night or within the next few days.
Love that women with all your heart . She deserves it .
@@txrick4879 Thanks. That comment made my wife very happy.
@@rockriver2652 Happy wife happy life . Be well and take care .
How did the blood test indicate heart issues? Do you know what the test is?
@@melindaturner3311 When the heart is damaged, heart cells burst releasing heart specific enzymes ( proteins) into the blood, that are normally only in the blood in tiny amounts. So they will gradually rise in the blood, peak & start to diminish. These can be easily measured several hours intervals. Thus the peak figure will give you an indication of the degree of heart damage- not always due to a heart attack. Hence, other investigations & clinical history.
People don't want to call an ambulance because they fear the bill they will receive...
Ain’t that the truth!!!!!
I called an ambulance a few months ago for my mom due to an unknowing at the time, low blood sugar episode. She was completely delirious and acting like it was epilepsy. She got mad at me and refused to go in the ambulance. Because she refused, I was given a bill for $200 for treating her in her home with glucose packets they had and a peanut butter sandwich I made for her on direction from the EMTs. I shudder at what the bill would have been with the ambulance.
@@EJulia33 In my part of Canada, they might bill you $20.00, but often don't.
I'm in Vancouver, Canada and the charge has been $80 for years, but can confirm they don't always bill you.
We're afraid of socialism to the point we will lose our homes first.
My friend, a woman, had pain in her mid back and felt nauseous. No one thought she was having a heart attack but she was. So we all need to get educated. The sooner a heart attack is treated, the better chance of recovery.
I'm paranoid every time I feel anything I'm having a heart attack on the flip side
@@TheVigilantStewards there is a simple blood test they can do now to assess heart attack risk.
@@pcbrightlights what's that? That would help my hypochondria knowing it's been tested and nulled - with my diet I should set a record
How is she doing now
I am so saddened to read these posts where people are dismissed by their doctor. I absolutely LOVE my primary care doctor and everyone that I have referred to him love him too. He absolutely believes and takes action on any symptom that I mention to him. My advise-if you are not satisfied with your provider, KEEP LOOKING FOR ONE.
I haven’t found a good primary doctor in a couple years. I’m still hunting... It takes a while to sign up to try one out and give them a chance before you realize they don’t have the same priorities as you do.
I'm 62 I've never had a primary care doctor I have the great physician you either have faith in man or faith in God
if you're a senior you don't get one...they give up and transfer you to some 30 year old kid who doesnt' understand what it feels like to be 90.
My father went out and got in the car went to start the car and fell over dead with a massive heart attack it broke my heart but I will be forever grateful that he didn't start the car and make it to the highway and possibly hurt someone else. Please don't play these symptoms off if you have them please get checked 🙏
I had a heart attack last Monday morning. I was ok till about 10am and by 11am had massive chest pain and sweating. I knew it was not normal and called 911 and just made it in time. 100% blocked RCA. Glad I'm here to write about it. I am 64.
Great video guys! I am a registered nurse. I send these to folks as part of my weekly routine! You are helping many, many people.
1. Pressure squeezing on the chest - like an elephant sitting on your chest
2.Referred Pain - pain felt in a part of the body other than its actual source.
3. Gray/Ashen looking
4. Dizziness
5. Cold Sweats during minimal activity
6. Shortness of Breath (sob) - activity can create symptom, once activity stopped sob goes away
7.Nausea - feels sick
Rusty trying to justify your vote for a traitor?
These aren't warning signs you get a month before heart attack. If you have these warning signs that are listed here you better get to Steppin to the hospital as of right now and if you feel like a elephant is standing on your chest you're probably not going to be able to make it on your own, you need to call for help..Trust me on this one....

@Rusty AHAHHAAAA!!
Thank you Maria. These guys make an enjoyable video if you have all afternoon to sift through it when the Cliff's notes are sufficient. And to you bozo's whining about Clinton... grow up.
No Dr. here but as a person who has suffered a massive heart attack I can speak from personal experience.
Dizzy/light headed often...not just when you suddenly jump up off the couch or out of bed. But say just standing there making a cup of coffee, then again 5-10 minutes later again for no real reason. Now it could just be an ear infection but it could also be a lack of blood flow to the brain.
Extreme Nausea/Vomiting. (This was one of my signs that I wasn't aware of) I thought I just had a case of food poisoning. Unlike me to throw up. After about 5-6 hours of vomiting I finally drove myself to the hospital. Within 2 minutes of arriving I was in an ambulance on my way to another hospital that specializes in Cardio and in surgery 20 minutes after getting to the first hospital. Had I known this was a sign I could of saved myself a lot of heart damage. Now I am currently at 38% heart function.
This is sign no one seems to ever tell people about. People know about the tightness through the chest, left arm going numb etc. But not of vomiting. I should say, it's not a normal upset stomach just emptying out thing. There is a blackish bile color to it. Which I again didn't notice because I was in a dark room just feeling sick and using a bucket when needed.
Thank you Bob and Brad for this information. Your channel always has great content.
My friends brother just had a heart attack Saturday, he describe having heavy perspiring. He made it through surgery having a blocked aorta. He is a normal person non smoker non drinker average weight. Pretty healthy just age 62.
No. Anyone would be dead quickly with a blocked aorta. Maybe a dissection or aneurism.
I was in the ER yesterday. Thought I was having a heart attack. Lots is symptoms but luckily after a good going over, I wasnt.
I was short of breath, nausea was so bad, pain between shoulders in my back, broke out in a sweat.
But, no matter, go if you think. It may be your life you're saving.
Bob and Brad failed to mention that women often have "lock jaw" and chest tightness or nausea but rarely, rarely have the left arm pain or jaw pain that men have. A sensation of "lock jaw", not being able to open the jaw or a sensation of a cramp under the jaw, is serious. Most medical schools teach this - but many young and old doctors still don't believe it. I was in an ER and fired my young ER doctor who didn't believe in such a symptom. I was having a heart attack as verified by my EKG and troponin level. Beware ! The symptoms DO differ in men and women.
Hi.. How about the pain in the left arm? How does it feels like? Been experiencing some pain in my left arm too.. feels like blood can't flow well and all my fingers are feeling bit numb.. and it sometimes felt like someone punched my left arm.. I have RA.. and some of my joints on my finger are swollen, I don't know if this what I'm feeling in my left arm is connected on my RA:(
As a cardiac ICU RN of 40 years I have NEVER heard of anyone male or female getting a locked jaw from a heart attack. Please don't give out medical information if you are not a medical professional. Can chest pain be referred to the jaw area...sure.....but LOCKED jaw....sorry thats a completely different condition.
@@nickisnyder3450 When I was doing my training this was mentioned and to be aware that male and females signs and symptoms vary. It’s not actual lock jaw it’s the sensation not being able to open also cramp in jaw area.
@@Whizzy-jx3qe It's jaw PAIN not lockjaw. Did you pass that test? Look, lockjaw is a symptom of many neurological disorders ....famously tetanus. If you are confusing cardiac symptoms for neuro ones....please continue training....& stay safe.
@@Jessydr438 Please go to a Doctor asap. It absolutely could be cardiac pain you are having. Your Dr will do an ECG, cardiac enzymes & a stress test, depending on those findings may want a heart cath to be sure.
Nausea was the symptom that my late husband had, and so he thought he had the flu. If only we had known when he was having the mild heart attack on Wednesday and Thursday, perhaps, we could have prevented his major and fatal heart attack on the following Monday morning. Thank you for educating the public with all your great videos.
So sorry to hear Claudia. Our thoughts and prayers are with you!
Bob
Sucks that calling an ambulance or going in when feeling symptoms that could be nothing could put you in a huge financial strain so people gotta risk financial ruin or death without a clear choice given that it could be something less severe
my dad had a warning sign (not a heart attack) ahead of a heart attack - during the cold mornings (going to work at 59 years old) he felt and odd icy feeling kind of around his heart. turns out it was a warning sign of blocked arteries - no one ever told him he had seriously high triglyceride levels or checked him out before then. poof, bypass surgery. he lives today 26 years later.
Hey guys how about a chart or list of these.instead of read off notes/cue cards,show them.shoot a simple chalkboard or whiteboard.
My man was cutting brush in the July heat. He wanted just to go home. A side trip to a local hospital got him a helicopter ride. A new adventure was born.
I lived less than a mile away from a hospital. I was in a cold sweat, confused, slight pain in my chest, and unsteady on my feet. I had been getting short of breath at work for a few weeks, but at age 64 I thought nothing of it. I drove to the hospital, waited at the desk for a few minutes while the lady at the counter chatted to the person in front of me ("how's the kids" chatter). I spoke up and after emergency treatment and was in an an ambulance on my way to a heart hospital within half an hour. Everything these two doctors spoke about is spot-on. I shouldn't have driven but in hindsight am glad I did. I feel it saved my life. The strange thing is that a week or so before the heart attack I had been to my family doctor on an unrelated matter, had my blood pressure taken and told I was as fit as a bull. I had a 90+% blockage in an artery as well as three smaller blockages.
BTW These guys are NOT Drs.
I went to my primary care doctor complaining about heart related symptoms and asked to be referred to a cardiologist. The cardiologist examined me and rejected my request for a stress test. 6 months later the cardiologist finally agreed to the test and pulled me off the treadmill after less than a minute. I had a totally blocked LAD requiring bypass surgery. The doctors couldn’t even determine my heart problem until it was almost too late.
Big surprise! I have almost no confidence in our health care system whatsoever!
Always get 2nd 3rd opinions. The best doctor I’ve ever known once said to me...”let me tell you a secret. Us doctors really don’t know everything.” Wasn’t all that reassuring...but hey...points for honesty.
You've got to really speak up for yourself these days.
Thank God you are good now.
My relative went to the doctor and was being treated for acid reflux. A few weeks later at home in bed he had a massive heart attack and was gone. Another doctor was treating my mother for acid reflux and with a second opinion was determined to have congestive heart failure. I have no proof but I begin to wonder sometimes if drug promotions can influence doctors' diagnosis?
Love Bob n Brad! Your videos are fun and informative! I help others with the tips n edu I get form watching your videos! I'm a massage therapist in Florida you have been great for my practice! Thank you!
My husbands event happened when he was 69. No health problems his entire life but he never went to a doc for regular check-ins. Only symptom was tired more than usual for 3 days. Woke me up because he was short of breath and pressure in his chest. Turned out that 3 of his arteries were 100% blocked. Stents or bypass not possible.3 yrs later now and he’s still alive but if the last artery blocks that will be his demise. even if you ‘never’ get sick, have a GP doctor and have an annual check-in!
Please read Dr Caldwell Esselstyn's book or CZcams video on "How to Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease". I have a strong family history of heart disease and have been following his no oil whole plant based diet. Made a huge difference in my risk factors. Best wishes to your husband for a long and healthy life following Dr Esselstyn's advice.
Love your channel. I recommended it to my senior's group( I'm 71). Women have different symptoms. I had a heart attack in 2016 and I never had chest pains or pressure. I had pain in my upper back between my shoulder blades. Fortunately, I still went to the doctor. It wasn't until the doctor did an EKG ( i think that is the right one) That she determined it was a full blown MI. My advice to women - If something doesn't feel right and you are in pain that doesn't ease up, Get it check out. Please!!
My husband didn’t have any of these. He was feeling great the day before - then He had massive pain in his shoulders. He had the widow maker but survived.
Ellen Bedford so glad he’s still with you.. hope he’s feeling better
They did mention shoulder pain...
@@amandamiles4590 Gee that's helpful. So we should call an ambulance & race to the hospital if our shoulder hurts?
I woke up having a hard time breathing. Called 911. To make the story short. I had the window maker. They gave me 5 way bypass and told me how lucky I was. My one big symptom was I could not walk from the front of the Home Depot to the back without taking a rest. If you are finding it hard to walk as far as usual go get it checked out.
You’re right about cold sweat as my husband this Xmas Eve awakened feeling icy cold with sweat pouring off him. I phoned for ambulance and the cardiac team at the hospital safe his life but shocking his heart back to life. He’s now fitted with a Defibrillator.
I love Bob and Brad. I hope they continue to have a long and healthy life.
Excellent review of these warning signs and symptoms guys, thank you kindly for the time and effort you put into this channel~ such value in every single post! The Whitson's in AZ
I had a "minor" heart attack, back when I was 42. That is a very young age for this to happen. It is of the utmost importance, to Not overlook stress form work/career, this was the thing that pushed me oIt doesn't need to be what is considered a stressful job. Get checked out once you get to about 35, the monitor it, make changes, and commit toimproveing your life a minimum of 5% year over year.
I love you guys, Bob and Brad!!! You have made some really good videos!!! And I love your sense of humor, and the way you two interact! But you make all these subjects kind of fun! Thank you for this very valuable information, being that I have congestive heart failure…
I’m a female and unfortunately, heart attacks run in my family. I had my first heart attack at age 44. Mine started out feeling like a severe case of heartburn!
I once woke up with tightness in my chest and I thought, "Can I have a heart attack while I'm asleep??" So I called the ambulance and they did the once-over "twice" including MRI with and without contrast and a Trans - esophageal electrocardiogram (TEE) and everything turned out fine. I had a panic attack. So I was told to follow up with my doctor, and the Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner reduced one of my medicines which might have caused a panic attack.
In all this, I learned about myself, first there is a tiny hole in each person's heart where it had to close up upon being born. Mine, I found, was smaller than any other three doctor had seen.
Result : I was healthy as a horse, and my medicine needed adjustment.
Ah! The things you learn!
You can get a homeopathic medicine for panic attacks. In Ottawa Ontario it costs $7.99 plus taxes.
@@marywilliams9858 whats the med?
A great video and I'm sure it will help save many. I was hospitalized with a resulting $43k in insurance bills after presenting with *all* of the 'women's heart attack symptoms' two years ago after a sudden death in the family. It turned out the diagnosis was an extreme, prolonged anxiety attack. Heart disease is prominent in my family history too so it was a worry. But I'm glad I knew enough to pay attention and got help. Had it been a real heart attack, I may not have lived. And thankfully after that episode when my father and father-in-law died within days of each other recently and I began experiencing the same symptoms I recognized the signs and remembered the counselling received from my doctors. Their suggestions helped me manage my body's stress responses and get through it safely.
My husband, who has passed now, had four heart attacks resulting in a quadruple by-pass and many stents. During every attack the pain was in his upper back, no pain in his chest at all.
Me too
Thank you both for sharing your knowledge despite the pain. May the Lord comfort and heal you both. 🙏❤️🌈
I went through the same thing for 30 hours my back was hurting!
I'm sorry for your loss
My pain was in my left shoulder and left arm
I had heart attack signs, I had pains in my back shoulder blades and then it moved to my shoulder, then neck then middle of the chest along with headaches or pressure. I asked my doctor to check me out. They did a stress test and come to find out it was my blood pressure. It would be fine during the day. Always fine at the doctors visits at her office but after dinner in would shoot into a sky high and almost stroking me. How I figured it out MYSELF, was to borrow a BP monitor. So it might not be your heart but the pressure. Always keep pushing them to check .
Was on my honeymoon after travelling 26 hours on a plane to Madrid from Australia we arrived in the beautiful city. Awoke at 3am with the most incredible pains. Tingles down both arms and felt like I had done a very heavy gym workout. Rang ambulance and was put in the finest cardiac ward in Madrid. Had an infarction. Spent 4 days in hospital . Came out with 10 medications . Just over 6 months and still get heart twinges. Thank goodness for travel insurance that covered everything. If you don’t feel right just act on it straight away. My wife just rang for the ambulance so it was a godsend. Continued the holiday .
Days before both my heart attacks aged 39 and 45 I experienced having a cold nose ! I know it sounds strange but my nose was freezing! I have learned since I was experiencing peripheral shutdown because my heart was struggling to pump blood into my extremities. The other strange feeling was a fluttering sensation in my throat/ neck. Just like a butterfly flapping its wings, it’s not painful just strange. That was my heart beating in an irregular beat it’s called premature ventricular contractions . Listen to your body!
Excellent advice Holly. People know their own body. We know our normal self so listen closer to differences.
I have premature arterial contractions (PAC) - basically an extra "beat" between normal beats. They don't hurt, but are scary because it feels like a fish flopping around in my chest. Had a stress test run, and aside from that everything was normal. I switched to a WFPB lifestyle (lost 60 lbs along the way) and it's improved dramatically. I avoid almost all fats too, even plant ones. The ONLY time I experience it anymore these days is when we eat out and I eat a fatty meal, or I make a meal somewhat higher in fat (rare treat). Night times after these meals are occasionally brutal. Nothing like the fluttering to wake you up at 3am, feeling like your heart is going to burst from your chest!
@@m1cajah I'm on the same diet and have reversed my angina.
Holly Hocks I’m a paramedic and I had a pt that had hiccups for several days and it was a heart attack .. you are right , listen to your body !
Holy Hannah the story about your dad …. Unfortunately I lose my dad to a massive heart attack last Dec…. 😞…. But these are great to discuss, I’m glad you’re doing this ❤️
It's happened to me 3 times (years apart) that during an effort (ski/ shoveling) my heart started pumping super fast, along with dizziness, cold sweats and nauseas. I had to lay down and those symptoms passed in less than an hour.
Only told my doctor months later, during an annual checkup (because i was aware that these symptoms can be heart related.)
She never felt the need to investigate my heart because i have no risk factors: not overweight, non smoker, low blood pressure, no cholesterol, female, under 50, etc.
She suggested panick attacks, but i'm not suffering from panic attacks (and why would i while doing fun activities!??) Also not suffering from hypochondria.
The major problem i see in preventing a heart attack is that one needs to be in a doctor's office when it happens...
I started chest pain and EXTREME fatigue a year ago, but that is apparently due to chronic gastritis and home renovations...
I guess i'd be dead by now if i had a heart problem... Bit worried still.
I’m exactly in your boat!! Would you like to exchange stories? Maybe provide relief to each other?
Thank you so much for making all these great videos...

Thank you for video. Hubby has 3-4 of these symptoms. Called his cardiologist. He has had stress test, echocardiogram and in one week a heart catheterization. His ejection fracture has dropped. Seems your info has definitely help his health.... Maybe saved a life 🤔
Ugh, this is unwatchable. I'm gonna have a heart attack waiting for these guys get the point.
After reading the comments first before watching the video I decided not to watch the video.
Lol
I agree
@@Rhaspun thank you
Lmfao
What about Women’s heart attack symptoms? I have read that women are often mis/underdiagnosed (even by doctors) because their symptoms are different from men’s symptoms. Could you talk about that in another video please?
Symptoms for women are most definitely different from men's.
Women are often misdiagnosed, stomach pain that signals a heart attack with heartburn e.g. Other times, women experience severe abdominal pressure that feels like an elephant sitting on your stomach.
Made in England yergethips What is wrong with you? Omg!
Aquamarine nausea, left shoulder blade pain, light headedness are just a few.
I had light headedness, chest pain & back pain over my liver, and shortness of breath.
Made in England yergethips She’s right. I can’t keep track of how many times I’ve been told it’s stress or anxiety. I got a blood transfusion last week. I had chest pain. The nurse said “you’re having an anxiety attack.” I told her, are you kidding? No, I’m not. I’m having chest pain.
OMG, I’ve been having almost all of these symptoms since I was 18! I’m now 72. Symptoms never seem to occur together with other symptoms.
🤣🤣🤣🤣whiskey aspirin 👍
Are still alive bro
Have you ever had an ECG (EKG)? After 54 years though, maybe you're OK! If they come on strong, it's probably a good idea to go to the ER. Even once. If you get a clean bill of health, it can also be a relief!
I have these and I'm 25.
Thanks for the video. It’s a good idea to know the symptoms.
If your symptoms are not severe, enjoy Bob and Brad’s video and relax. If you are frantically seeking info about your exploding chest pain, just stop watching and call the Hospital
If I went to the ER every time I had one of those symptoms, I would be there every day for the past 25 years!
John Dikmen same.
really? that's unrealistic.
Yes, I've had more than one of these multiple times over the years and no heart attack! X
Nope ....it is different and scary
Get a full echo test for mitral valve prolapse.
My brother drove himself to the hospital with a heart attack. He had initially thought he was having acid reflux, but he couldn't get any relief with meds, so he decided to go, just in case it was something else. They took him back for emergency surgery, and he called us the next day to inform us he was in the hospital.
Dang
@dani cali Most definitely.
Excellent information, will come in handy for my job. Thanks for sharing
I didn't have these warnings until right before my MCI at 46. However, what I did have and didn't take it seriously, was I was on a fire drill at work and had to go up and down a lot of stairs. Afterwards my heart rate was very very fast and took some time to calm down. When I look back I see that as a waring earlier on. I am 23 years past and almost off meds! PS Try to get your Doc to include Homocysteine levels in your labs.
A bad gas bubble in the stomach can cause anxiety and several of these symptoms as well.
thank you i believe you are correct!
how can u get rid of a gas bubble?
@@the.secret.of. Stretching, massage the area where you feel the bubble- , lay down on your back and gently rub in a upwards motion towards your neck to move the bubble along, drinking a little soda might help as well (at least it does for me)
It’s a scary and expensive lesson to find out it’s probably GERD or hiatal hernia brought on by poor diet and stress. Still, I’m heading to the ER if it doesn’t subside quickly.
For me i had a sugar free drink and experience all these symptoms and panic attack and anxiety i went ER and they did tests and nothing wrong even got my heart checked. From that point on i stopped chewing gum.most are sugar free..use toothpaste like crest bc they are sugar free and no eating drinking sugar free foods
I dont know why Im watching this, my wife always tells me I am heartless. I guess none of this applies to me.
Take good care of your wife 😂
Buy a bouquet of red roses for your wife. And tell her you love her very much and apologize for anything you did wrong. Kiss her. Hug her. See her reaction. She will love it!
😂
Excellent information. Thank you Bob and Brad.
I wish I came across this earlier, my mom had these symptoms and is in hospital right now. Please pray for her if you can, appreciate your prayers, thanks.
