Triggering, Stress And Heart Problems

Please monitor your heart carefully. 2 years after my attack & ptsd dx I actually had a heart attack at age of 38. I had been having chest pains since I was attacked & figured it was just stress & ptsd. I did not have high bp, had no blockages, had good cholesterol levels, took supplements & walked 4 miles a day. I really thought I was healthy! I had even quit smoking for 4 years.
I'm not trying to scare you, just want you to be aware.....

Thank you @The Albatross :)


Update. After having to cancel my first appointment for an unexpected trip, I finally got into the cardiologist yesterday. Wearing a heart monitor for 48 hours then having a echo-cardiogram on the 23rd this month. Doc said I may have blockages but isn't certain until he sees the echo. I have a follow up for results on November 2nd.

Surprisingly I am calm about this. More curious to know what is going on than anything. Just want the pain to stop. It's getting old. Thanks for all the kind words.
