Mowing the yard, felt a burning in the upper chest and back and felt like my arms were heavy. All I wanted to do was lay down and take a nap. Today it is better but still there, went to walk in clinic and they asked if I had driven myself..... ( I thought "Oh Shizen") So now I am going to go to the ER since it's Saturday.
Anyone else here had heart problems? would you share your experience?

How much do you weigh and were you riding or pushing?

I've had 2 heart attacks...One 9 years ago, one last July.  If it is one, you'll spend a couple of days in the hospital resting.  Then a slow walking process to rebuild your heart and lungs...Farther and farther each day.  You may have to go in for an angiogram...dye through the groin artery to see if there is blockage.  They may do a stent (or two) then and there.  They could take you in for bypass surgery right away or bypass in a few days...It depends what they see and how bad it looks.  See you on the walking trails.  Brian

I know you posted a couple days ago about a possible heart attack.  Have you had tests done yet?  Did you have a heart attack?  Rather than responding directly to me, I suggest that you post on the Men's Forum because I'm sure there are other men who will be concerned.  Bob

Had two blockages, one pretty bad, looked like two fingers held together by a string. They put in two stents and I am home.
Thanks!
