Yes, and maybe when the Leafs are in Round One of the playoffs. Just kidding!When beautiful women are posted here in many threads.
No need to stress. Just ask your doctor to run a test (or tests) and you'll know either way. I think the gold standard test is the ECK.Stress causes heart attacks. Spending a bunch if time worrying about whether or not youve had a phantom heart attack could just induce one lol
Nice try.No need to stress. Just ask your doctor to run a test (or tests) and you'll know either way. I think the gold standard test is the ECK.
Nice try.
Close but no cigar.
ECG
I also get an annual echogram.
EPDA
Damn typo. Ok, ECG it is. Ok, but I knew there is a "K" somewhere."Silent" or unnoticed heart attacks are a thing. I had an irregular ECG a few years ago and my doctor believed that I had had a mild coronary for a few seconds without noticing it. My dad died of a coronary at a very young age. And so I was packed off for multiple tests at the Hospital.
Fortunately the concerning ECG read turned out to be erroneous and I emerged with a clear record of heart functioning.
This is one time when an incorrect ECG is welcome. Also, medical science has advanced since your dad so what they can do to-day is so much more effective.
Was then no prior warning signs like angina or something else?I did have a “mild” heart attack, none are actually mild! Felt like a twinge in my chest and ache in my left arm, lasted a few seconds.
I've never heard of that. When one has a heart attack, heart muscle has died due to a lack of oxygen. I'm not sure how dying heart muscle can be unnoticed. Having said that, there are some references to it but IMO, it is more a factor of denial by the patient. They don't want to admit that they're having pain.What is a silent heart attack?
There's a lot of material on the web. Just type in "silent heart attack" in a search engine.What is a silent heart attack?
haha I honestly thought was s*x thing. I wanted to learn more so I kept reading forums.I've never heard of that. When one has a heart attack, heart muscle has died due to a lack of oxygen. I'm not sure how dying heart muscle can be unnoticed. Having said that, there are some references to it but IMO, it is more a factor of denial by the patient.

What I have heard of is if someone is a silent ischemic. Ischemia is inadequate oxygen being delivered to the heart muscle. The pain from angina is also due to heart muscle not getting enough oxygen due to poor perfusion usually due to clogged arteries. In a way it is a precursor to a heart attack, a warning sign, per se. So silent ischemia is when the heart muscle is not receiving adequate blood/oxygen but it is not enough for the individual to feel pain. This is much more common than a "silent heart attack".
The medical term for a heart attack is a myocardial infarct or MI.
so it sounds like they were largely unaffected and it wouldnt have made much of a difference in their quality of life whether they knew or notI've had close relatives who suffered silent heart attacks and/or self-correcting strokes and went on with their ordinary lives and passed in their 90's from other causes so I have a personal interest in the subject.
My heart attack was later re-diagnosed as a hyper-tension attack.How can someone who’s a victim can respond here?
