- Jennie Covert Stewart had spent Sunday afternoon at her youngest son's baseball game. Expecting company after the game, she hurried home to prepare. The symptoms began quickly. First her left arm got achy. Then she experienced severe heartburn, followed by chest pain. When she began to break out into a cold sweat she was certain she had eaten something bad. Soon after, the doorbell rang and Jennie rushed to put on dry clothing and welcome her guests. Her friend knew right away something was wrong and quizzed her on her symptoms. She insisted that Jennie was having a heart attack and that they call 911 immediately. At only 41 years of age, healthy and active, Jennie thought it was a ridiculous notion. EMS arrived and rushed her to a hospital where a cardiologist put in two stents, which saved Jennie's life. This all transpired in a mere 52 minutes after placing the 911 call.
Shes so sweet
Thankyou so much for sharing your story. Take care.
I had a heart attack 2 and half weeks ago on May 30th 2023 I’m 41 years old! … and I feel like I can’t quite process it all … had one stent
Glad you made it!
@@stephanied1028 awww ty so very much 🫶
The day I went in to the ER, my only symptom was unusually high blood pressure. 2 days before I had pain up my left arm and shoulder and neck. I thought it just couldn't be a heart attack. I was healthy and had a healthy lifestyle. So I went to bed and ignored it. Next morning it had gone away. But when I went in for the high blood pressure they took tests and told me I had had a heart attack. I had a hard time believing it! So after a stent and being sent home and a month later I had the same thing with the blood pressure suddenly shooting up sky high so I thought I was having another heart attack and called 911. This time it was not a heart attack but they did admit me and I ended up with another stent. I'm unsure now when or if to call 911... or how to know if what I'm feeling or experiencing is a heart attack or not.
Women are taught from a young age to be soooo nice & polite over everything, APOLOGIZE for any little inconvenience, even if you’re having a freaking heart attack!
Laci Michelle I don't think most are taught....at least I wasn't. Yet every seizure and major health scare I had, I was tripping over the "I'm so sorry's" and the "Please forgive mes". I think for me it's just the horrible thought that you're being a burden, or too much trouble for the other person; yet if rolls were reversed I'd be smacking them upside the head for even thinking such a thing 😆. I guess for women, some just feel it's their job to take care of everything, but when it comes to themselves....well, they just don't have a clue 🤔
And men are taught to "tough it out" and not ask for help. FAR more men die of stress, heart attack and heart disease. What's your point? Do women deserve special treatment??
I think men and women are socialized to either tough it out (men) or to take care of others first (women). In either case, it is some version of ignoring what you are experiencing in your body. I think what complicates further for women is that the "classic" symptoms we associate with a heart attack are what are typical for men. An emergency room doctor treating me for heart symptoms cautioned me to think beyond those classic symptoms and pay attention to symptoms that might be more vague, like shortness of breath, back or jaw pain, or nausea/vomiting. For example, in Jennie's case, she had pain in her right arm, not her left. I can understand why she did not think of a heart attack right away. Thankfully, the EMS professional was not deterred by that and took timely action.
Heart attacks can happen to anyone, at any adult age rarely children), regardless of your shape, lifestyle, and diet. I had my heart attack at 39, I was a vegetarian, in good shape, went to the gym 5 days a week..... . elevated LDL cholesterol as a marker is flawed... better markers would be checking your LDL-lipo B, C- reactive protein levels, Triglycerides, and do an NMR test or Calcium score test, ...
Please eat a whole food plant based diet.
When I was in the assessment unit after I had been diagnosed with blood clots in the lungs I had said to one of the nurses about how lots of people think that heart attack pain is indigestion and don't think much of it until its too late!
It’s so true...certain personalities feel responsible and embarrassed when they are sick because they are more concerned for others than themselves.
Thing is being genuinely ill is one of those things that's beyond your control and no one is to blame!
Thank you Jennie and your friend for making this video. I have been having really painful electric shock pain in my left arm for about a week and was unsure what to do. I am 53 years old.
t Klein get to the doctor or ER
Electric ⚡ shock pain!
That's the way to describe it.
In my left scapula and bicep and my left arm is weaker than the right
It WAS meant to be. God bless you and your family and new friends.
Why were two stints placed if only one artery is partially clogged?
Thank you Jennie! This can happen to any woman any age regardless of physical condition
Not true at all.
Your actual physical condition...state of your health IS the major factor in gettonh heart attack.
It is insane to think otherwise.
Pre existing bad health happens to my h younger and you get ppl these day.
STOP EATING JUNK..GET RID OF SYSTRMIV INFLAMMATOON THAY IS THE REASON FOR VID.
Described incidents dif not happened out of the blue.
All of them have been :"working very hard"...since childhood ..to get your artheries clogged.
Dump all sugars...carbs.. vegetable oils...processed food...
And for God's sake...nrver take STATINS.
@@danaricci5044 i know a guy that had a heart attack without symptoms or risk factors he rides bicycle everyday , according to his mom his cholesterol was under the normal numbers and no blood pressure or diabetes so i think this can be happen to everyone alive , nobody knows how our body wake up the next day everyone is differentl
@@mottosierra1372
It is impossible to have a heart attack for no reason.
There are ALWAYS underlying issues he had no idea about.
Healthy ppl do not get heart attacks.
@@mottosierra1372 BTW
Cholesterol BELOW already misleading lowered norm.
IS DANGEROUS !
@@danaricci5044 risk factors that
your doctor said : blood pressure
Cholesterol
Smoking
Diabetes
This ones im talkiing about it , i think diabetes and blood pressure are the worst factors
It's 2 a.m. and I'm trying to decide if this is what is going on. Chewing asprin and calling 911. Hope I am wrong. If not, thank you.
What happened? Are you okay?
I actually had a blood clot from a fall a few days earlier dislodge and go to my lungs. While not this I still did the right thing as it could have killed me. Thank you for asking.
Ouch! But you survived. Glad you're still around. ❤️
Sabi Darkfold oh my I am so glad you are okay
Sabi Darkfold I’m glad you’re okay
I had my 1st massive heart attack at 30 my right arm was tight,pain in the chest,pain in the shoulder blades, I had cold sweats, vomiting,diarrhea, I kept feeling like I needed to yawn but I couldn't properly do one & I could feel myself going grey. My whole right coronary artery was blocked. I had a 2nd heart about 19days ago at the age of 34 the symptoms were different it felt like heartburn, tight arm, jaw pain & a cold sweat. My whole left coronary artery was blocked. The thing that angered me the most both times was how hospital staff treated me. I felt like they were very dismissive towards my symptoms because of my age , it was obvious they were assuming before they put me of the monitors they thought I was just having an anxiety attack. They ignored the fact my dad died when I was 3 weeks old of a massive heart attack in his early 40's, the fact I have Factor V Leiden & a history of DVT's. I was further angered when they gave me a book about heart disease from the heart foundation, 98% of people in that book were over the age of 55. Heart attacks can strike at ANY age!
Iinspired Mantic I’m glad you’re still here. I had my first heart attack a month ago. Went into cardiac arrest. They saved me though and I’m back. Got one stint, going for a second soon. I’m lucky they believed me and sent an ambulance. I had been clinically dead a few minutes when they managed to resuscitate me
@@oliviamoore3426 It's awesome you survived, they believed you & sent an ambulance. Good luck with your 2nd stent :)
Iinspired Mantic thank you very very much. Yeah I got really lucky they believed me. I’m sorry they didn’t believe you. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that you won’t get another heart attack and I’m really glad you survived.
@@oliviamoore3426 Thank you :) I hope you don't have anymore heart attacks either :) My hospital experiences have been awful, they seem to think heart attacks only happen to older people. If I did have another heart attack, I'd certainly live stream it to show the world how horrible it is for younger people with CVD. I think I could do that, I mean I was able to pack a bag of clothes & catch the bus to the hospital during my 2nd heart attack. After you have 1 heart attack you learn the signs & you got more time to get to the hospital :) When I got out of hospital I bought travel size toiletries, phone charger & a bag packed with clothes in space bags so I feel more prepared, it's a good thing to do if you're single like me.
How are you now?
Call 911 even if you are not sure
I'm 46 and I keep having chest pain .I was going to the hospital 1 year ago every couple of weeks and they said I had bradycardia. But it coming back and I'm out of breath.i hope I'll be ok.my chest and neck and back hurt.i get tired of them saying that I'm ok.😪

I had my first heart attack aged 39 yrs and then at 45yrs. Mine was due to Prinzmetal angina.
@Holly Hocks how are you now?

I am 34 yr old. I had my heart attack on labor day weekend. Any advice

Someone I know died from a heart attack and she was only 41!
I always had a chest pain that goes to left arm and jaw. On and off. I had ECG, echo and tmt . The doctor said it's ok. But everytime im suffering. It's been 3 years now
Son of a...I can't breathe and extreme fatigue
I was 43 when I had a heart attack which it took 3 trips over a week to the ER to be diagnosed with a heart attack. One artery in my heart was 100% blocked. Its a very very scary thing. I was in denial myself.
I am also feeling chest pain and weakness and my pain is coming and going. Went to the er and didn't find anything, then I went to see the doctor and he sant me to cardiologist. I am doing tests but my chest and back pain is still with me. They say my blood is okay. I do have blood pressure problems. I don't know what to do or what to think. All I know that this is really serious and no Dr can't find out what is wrong. Thanks for your story. Take care of yourself.
Sorry about that. I hope you get it figured out.
@@timeaferreira7085 if the tests are alright maybe is your mind remember what your mind say that you will be feel it. The mind control all your body , maybe is anexity
How are you now?

My friend died of a heart attack 2 weeks ago.

Sorry for your loss❤
I'm sorry to hear that.
I've never heard of the right arm it's always the left
it can be either in women especially
Mine 39
I rocked 10 hours got to the hospital and got rushed to surgery said I was having a massive heart attack dont ask me how I done 10hours all night then left that next morning wife drove me
Now u r beat
Women don't even put themselves on the list of things to do. 😥❤
Being overweight is a risk factor.
One of many … but rarely the main cause
@@Heather_The_RedRum_IP Obesity is a risk factor.
All thanks to doctor Alued on CZcams who cure me from heart disease thank you #doctoralued
Bull shit there is no cure for heart disease
Glad Jennie's OK. but she didn't even go unconscious or get hit with the defibrillator 7 times in the ambulance... I flatlined 3 times, and ended up with 3 stents, a 2 week coma, pneumonia and had to learn to walk again. Do I get a special color?
-in all seriousness, I did make a couple videos on my hospital stay and my recovery process in the hope of helping anyone that needs support, help or has questions. Their the first 2 videos on my channel - the 2 oldest videos.
omg...so inappropriate or maybe just worded incorrectly ~ smh.
Which part confused you???
Straight From The Heart the entire part. Your comment was and is inappropriate and selfish. This video was her testimonial....and should be respected. I thought that was common sense....
Nice that you seem to think you're fit to judge me.(and feign passive/aggressive superiority at the same time)
I'm entitled to my own opinion...but I'll explain it again slowly for you.
More men die from heart attacks then women. No one cares or declares a "special" color for them.
They convinced men to wear pink "for breast caner awareness"- what do women do for men and prostate cancer??- Which BTW - kills FAR more people than breast cancer. The list is practically endless.
She had what I consider a relatively MINOR issue.How is she a "survivor"?? LOL. I came back from the dead, and I don't even call myself a survivor.
My original comment happens to describe MY heart attack. Go watch my video titled Hard To Kill and then come back and talk.
Straight From The Heart with that amount of anger and bitterness, it's no wonder you're in the condition you're in. Still missed the point ~ and this will be the last thing I say because having circular arguments with angry, embittered people on the net is not my thing: this story is about her, not you. The end.
