Imagine me, a golfer, a health nut, the one who always has a salad when everyone else has a burger and fries, having a heart attack, but I did. It happened on a beautiful evening, after a game of golf as I was washing my clubs in the kitchen sink. I felt a pressure in the middle of my chest and across my shoulder blades. It was uncomfortable enough to go upstairs, take a Bayer aspirin, and go to bed. It was only 9:00, but I knew something was not right as I laid there. I didn’t have high cholesterol and I had really low blood pressure so I couldn’t be having a heart attack, or could I.
The pressure in my chest woke me up around 1:00am. I sat up, said a prayer, took another aspirin and went into my office to boot up my computer. I didn’t have any of the symptoms they tell you to look for if you are having a heart attack, but something was nagging at me. I went to the American Heart Association website and read the symptoms…..none of which I had. Then I saw it, a comment that many women have pressure in their back and into their jaw. Well my jaw didn’t ache, but my back sure did, so off I went to St. Luke’s. As I drove to the hospital, I kept telling myself that I was sure they would say it was just indigestion and send me home and no one would be the wiser.
Unfortunately, the doctors had other ideas. My heart was apparently in spasms, which resulted in a heart attack. I don’t remember much and frankly I thought I was just fine, but later conversations with the doctors made me realize that I really had suffered from a heart attack. Tests determined that I had a slight blockage (not caused by cholesterol) and a stent was inserted that very night. I feel very blessed that my body gave me a warning that something was wrong and I was able to get it fixed before any damage was done to my heart. I now am an avid participant in cardiac rehab; I have all my friends on Omega-3 (great stocking stuffers at Christmas) and am a firm believer that anyone over 40 should have their hearts checked out. I also volunteer at St. Luke’s, visiting women of all ages that have had a heart attack, talking with them about their bright futures and their change in lifestyles. Together, we can help women get and keep their hearts strong.
