Heart Attack
I suffered major heart attack w/ blood clot. Still seeking best nat. subst. for warfarin that raises INR to 2
Warfarin/ coumadin is basically rat poison and the long term effects are not very good. Unfortunately I have not yet found any
effective natural substitute that will keep the blood thinning (INR)
around 2 or a little higher. Pot is not under consideration.
Has anyone had success with nattokinase and how much do you take and how often?
Answer :
Don’t be put off by the word “poison”. Aspirin or Tylenol is a poison if you take it wrong. Coumadin has been used forever has had a prov en track record. There are some other prescription medications…they are far more expensive and haven’t had even close to the efficacy history that coumadin has had. You will have to inject yourself tho. If I were your doctor I would tire of your non-compliance and wish you would go to someone else. You are being ridiculous

I had a small heart attack 2 years ago. I am 58 years old now. Which “soft” style martial arts can I learn?
I did not have open heart surgery or bypass surgery. I do have stent implants. I still have slight chest pain occasionally, but I am doing ok. My primary goal is for self defence because I will soon become a senior citizen.
I am 5′10″ about 160 lbs. Plain and simple, I have to admit I am a coward. I was thinking that a soft style martial art, might be easier for me to learn, taking my age and health condition into consideration. Could anyone please recommend one? Thank You for taking the time to read this. God Bless You.
I live in New York City. Since I no longer work, I can train full time.
Answer :
There are no “small heart attacks” and, you say your “still having some trouble” I wouldn’t do anything except breathe until I saw the cardiologist and got a look at.
This “still having trouble” bothers me. Are you sure the “stints” were all you needed ?
I think you’d better see your cardiologist first before you do anything.
Heart Attack?
Do you know when your having a heart attack? Because my chest hurts when I like press against it, and Im worried because I dont want to have a heart attack not knowing it. Im only 13. Im just really scared. I dont have any other symptoms besides the chest pain. Someone please help…
Answer :
changes are this is a gastro intestinal issue, when you produce gas, you can have chest discomfort, when you inhale air, it might feel like a stabbing pain etc.. usually the entire chest area aches. Try taking a tums or antacid. At 13 it is unlikely that you are having a heart attack… also usually when a heart attack occurs you experience tingling numbness in arms, shoulders, or hands, lack of oxygen to the lungs, cannot breathe properly.
I thought i was having a heart attack, but i think it was indigestion?
having never had indigestion before, the other nite i was woken by the most painful ache in my back and in my ribs, i really thought i was having a heart attack, i was sick too and thought i was gunna die, everyone i’ve spoken to says it was indigestion… god, never thought it could be so painful….
Answer :
i know its horrible isnt it! I had never had it, and then i got it and i couldnt move, it was painful to walk and i had to go home, i even went straight to the doctor (i too thought it was too painful just to be indigestion) and my husband called me a hypochondriac. Oh well, im with you on the pain
What doed a heart attack feel like, and does it always hurt, what are the symptoms?
have common sense, if you died of a heart attack you obviously cant answer this but some people had heart attacks and lived
Answer :
They tell me I had a massive silent heart attack.
I had back pain for many years (starting in my 20’s). I went to doctors, took medications, had MRI’s, xrays etc.
My cardiologist ( who I got in the hospital) told me that I had been misdiagnosed and that the back pain was my heart. He was right.
If you are concerned that you are having a problem - go to the doctor- they can determine if you are having heart problems via a blood test. It’s not something to mess with or take chances.
Look up the American Heart Association. They have good information.
If a person lives alone and has a heart attack how long do the paramedics have to make it before they die?
Answer :
Your brain starts to die after about 8 minutes - which begins shutting down your vital functions. There comes a time, when it’s not worth being resuscitated.
Is this indigestion or a heart attack?
Hey, you guys, for a year now, I have been having major left sided chest pain. When I first got this pain, I went into the ER twice, and both times they said it was not my heart. They did give me Ibuprofen, which was supposed to kill some inflammation or infection I had contracted inside my chest. But today, I don’t know, I only ate once, and just a while ago, I got the horrible anxiety, chest pain again. I ate something and it went away. Is the stomach up there, like near the breastbone? Eating something relieved it. Then sometimes I cannnot eat because I get bad heartburn or chest pain. What the hell is this? I just want it to go away. Is it psychological? How do I stop this? How do I know it’s not angina?
Also, would nosebleeds mean that I may get a stroke or hemorrage in the future?
Answer :
You do need to go to a doctor. It could be ulcers, gullbladder or something else. Tests need to be run to find out what is happening.
I feel like I am having a heart attack, but I am only 16!?
Today around 7 (about 5 hours ago) I got this pain below my left chest and then my left shoulder and arm started hurting and the pain below my chest went away. Earlier today I felt some pressure on my chest, but that also went away. I can breathe just fine, but my shoulder and arm pain is still there and once in a while below my chest hurts a bit. Are these the symptoms of a heart attack or am I just being paranoid? I am not fat at all, and my family does not have a history of heart problems. What do you think is going on? My parents don’t think I am having a heart attack, they just said to relax and keep an eye out. Help please, and thank you.
Answer :
see your doc in the morning heart attacks kill young people too ,I had one that almost got me so be safe..

Can you have a mini heart attack and be ok without seeing a doctor?
I am not positive this was any kind of mini heart attack but it has happened 3 time in the last 6-7 weeks.My chest in the middle an to the left sometimes the right hurts and my jaw under the chin and left side- it feels like really bad cramps, I will feel sweaty cold and hot at the sametime then light headed. I will get a little paniced but then calm myself by breathing through it & I usually take an iburophen for the pain. They last around 10,20,30 minutes and then I am fine but maybe a little fatigued. I will lay down for a bit and I am ok.I am 45 yrs old female, chunky, great blood pressure but high cholestrol,OTR truck driver husband, 11 yr old twin boys, stay at home mom to busy for a hospital stay and no one to tend to the kids if husband is out and when this happens he usually is.
Answer :
It might be ok. But it could get wore in cases so i would suggest seeing a doctor if you had it for a period of time.
I’ve been highly stressed out for the last 6 months due to several life altering happenings & other major life issues. I have had panic and anxiety attacks before, but yesterday was different.
The pain was centralized over my heart with radiating pains on my left upper body (including shoulder, neck, and right below my breast.) It was accompanied by nausea. I honestly thought I was having a heart attack or getting ready to have one, so I tried to remain calm the rest of the evening. Today I wake up and have the same issue. Is it possible that I did have a heart attack, considering the pain lasting so long, or am I just having a really long panic attack/series of attacks?
Answer :
Don’t take any chances. I’m alive today because I didn’t hesitate to get medical attention when I had my heart attack. If you get a blood test within, I believe, 72 hours, they can tell for sure whether it was a heart attack or not. There’s some chemical indicator in your bloodstream for that long. After that, they’ll be guessing.
In any case, with chest pain, pain being transmitted to other parts of your body, and nausea; you’ve got way too many symptoms to just hope it goes away.
Almost everyone who gets quick treatment survives so don’t take the risk! See a doctor now!

Heart attack, anxiety or heart burn?
I’ve had pressure right at my breast bone for months.. the past 2 days I’ve had a burning feeling going down my left arm. It went away within a 1/2hr. Yesterday the pressure in my chest was a burning pressure all day. On the way home it radiated all over my chest and I became lightheaded and nauseous. I tried not to panic and the ambulance station wasn’t that far from where I was so I drove there. They took me to the hospital and told me they didn’t see anything (they gave me aspirin and nitro on the way and it had little affect). The hospital did blood work and it didn’t show anything, they did a EKG and that didn’t show anything..they gave me Maalox and ? and it helped a little but the pressure and lightheadedness are still there. I don’t get it..it’s not a heart attack, it’s not anxiety and it’s not heart burn.. ???
Answer :
What is best ex cerise to strengthen heart muscle after an attack?
Answer :
No One: Start with Chikita’s Answer.
No. Two: Don’t let Toodd’s Answer scare you off. The heart is a muscle and muscles can be made stronger. He does go on to give some good advice.
No. Three: Althere’s Answer is a Good Beginning Exercise. Walking is good for the heart.
No. Four: Heart Attack Jack’s Answer: The best exercise, is the one done on a regular and consistent basis. Start out light until you find your limitations. I suffered slight heart damage as a result of a heart attack two years ago. My doctor says the heart will probably not heal, but should be OK.
Not to second guess my doctor, but as the good book says, As a man thinketh, so is he. I firmly am believing in total healing of my heart through diet, exercise, and faith in Jesus, who tells me, by his stripes we are healed. I believe it and speak it.
Could I have suffered a mild heart attack?
Monday it felt like someone kicked me in the back, but no one did.
Tuesday was the worst, i had all the symptoms of having a mild heart attack, although the symptoms are like those of an anxiety attack.
Last night i got the same feeling, and I couldnt sleep.
Today i feel a little better.
I know you can have a heart attack at any age, but im only almost 18. I also have heart murmer.
I need to go to my cardiologist, but since im almost 18, I have to find a new one and am waiting to hear back from my primary doctor.
Answer :
If the pain you are describing is the only symptom you have, then its not an indication of a heart attack, especially at your age, unless you have some pre-existing heart problem other than a heart murmur. But it is always a good idea to check with a doc with these types of pains even if it isn’t a heart attack.
Most likely, you are experiencing the effects of a muscle spasm, pinched nerve, or vertebra that has slipped out of place. In the mean time, you can try to do some stretching exercises to stretch you shoulder blades and the back and side muscles, and also move the spine to loosen it up. One easy way to determine if this is a muscle/spinal problem is to sit on a carpeted floor with your knees up at your chest, put your arms around your legs, so you form a tight ball, and then roll your body back over your head a few times. If the pain is caused by muscles or the spine you will notice a painful, sensitive spot.

Heart attack at 14?
Is that possible, because I think I just had one. I myself find it to be pretty outrageous, but earlier I was reading, and all of the sudden it hurt really bad to exhale. It felt like stabbing on the left side of my chest, so I wound up laying on my bed for like, 30 minutes trying to find an easy way to breath without getting a stabbing feeling. Then towards the end of my trouble breathing, my back (the area behind the left side of my chest) began to ache badly. Then my jaw started to hurt. I was chewing gum at the time, so I assumed it had something to do with that. This was like 1 hour ago, and it still hurts a bit to breath. And I also thought my breathing was asthma related, because I used to have a severe asthma problem when I was young, for an example of the severity of my problem, I was on a name to name basis with many of the doctors in my local ER. But later, when I looked up my symptoms (extreme pain in chest, back aching, and jaw pain) I kept coming up with heart attack
Answer :
Doubt it was a heart attack.
Sounds like asthma or heart burn.
