Help me, fellas... Heart Attack Signs??

Late to this, but don't ever wait to go to the ER to get something checked out.

Glad things worked out.

And yeah, raking leaves sucks.

 

Buying a condo... and therefore not raking leaves or shoveling snow... one of my best decisions.

Glad you are OK hack

 

A mulcher mower can eliminate the need to rake leaves too.

 

Ex - Don't feel silly. And, I'm glad everything checked out.

 

Wish I could mulch. I've got a lot of trees on the lot. I'd have a blanket of much about six inches deep.

Rosie would be up to her neck in mulch. I think on a thread last year she said they haul theirs in a tarp out into the woods and dump it.

 

I live in the woods. Mulching simply isn't an option.

And MH, you are correct. The leaves in the yard right around the house are hauled away by tarp into the woods.

 

You know what really stinks? After I posted here, I went on Facebook.

And found out a good friend's hubby had a heart attack this morning while out deer hunting.

He's at the hospital, they did a stent and he's doing well.

Yikes!

 

When in doubt, get your ass to an emergency room.

 

First, check in here.
Then go to the emergency room.

 

It's called costochondritis, and it's inflammation of the cartilage around the rib cages and sternum.

It's like a pulled muscle, and it feels like your chest is about to rip itself apart at times. Feels like a heart attack, has nothing to do with the heart. And it occurs exactly how you described it: Do something active, twist or over-do it in some weird way, and then experience stress.

Did it while moving during an incredibly busy period of my life, thought I was dying.

 

Yes. I felt like I was going to die on the anchor desk last week. Nailed it.
