63, no history of heart disease, all my numbers in the "normal" range, fit, don't smoke, not overweight, good diet, etc. I was building a greenhouse in the back yard and went from feeling kind of "shitty" to classic left chest and back of arm pain.

It's amazing how fast you get into the ER when you come in like that. I got an angiogram within 45 minutes and also had 2 stents in the LAD with 90-95% blockage.



Glad you’re ok. Stories like this are good to rebase myself and remember how important it is to enjoy life now while I can. No matter how healthy I try to keep myself, luck can change things in an instant.
