#8 I'm a man. 5 years ago I had a heart attack that they said should have killed me. The only symptom was feeling lightheaded.
I'd estimate that between 15-20 minutes after I called 911, I was on an operating table.
I have got to get me a set of those flashy lights that ambulances have. The trip through rush hour city traffic that would have taken me 45 minutes in a car took minutes with those flashy lights (and siren).
My younger brother died of the same heart attack about a year later.
DO NOT ignore the symptoms. Trust me on this- not all heart attacks have the "classic" chest pain like they you see on television shows.

Tamarra,
After reading your comment, I think I have a daily heart attack.

Tamarra, The "same" heart attack? So after it tried to kill you, it what? It hung around at the park and the arcade for a year and then saw you brother? I doubt it was the same one.

Claes,
It's me again, "Tamarra". Normally I'd just move on. I appreciate your humor/sarcasm, but this subject is important. To me...
I meant the same type of heart attack- involved the LAD (Left Anterior Descending) artery.
Mt heart attack caught me late afternoon at work- I was alone.
My brother's caught him mid afternoon on a Saturday; at home. One of his sons was home, found him on the floor, alive but unconscious. He made it to the hospital alive, but he was "brain dead" by the time he got there.
He had been complaining of "indigestion" for weeks prior. I told him numerous time that he should see a doctor- including the day before he died.
BTW, I had no prior warning- like "indigestion"

Telly,
Sometimes weaknesses in the heart can be genetic. I lost my grandfather to a lower aortic aneurysm that his twin brother had gone into the hospital to have his fixed. He told my grandfather to do it too, but he never did. I've been screened and do not have the same problem they did.

#2 I'll be honest... before i read the description i thought this were "different kind of poop in a tupperware because of [insert your reason here]".
