Thats the same thing they did to me at the ER when i had a cardiac emergency, i lost my breathe and got pressure in my chest and they told me it was nothing to worry about and to just come back if it got worse, until I checked up with a cardiologist and they told me one of the pieces of my heart was enlarged and that it wasnt pumping blood effectively and thats what caused me to go to the ER that day, and the ER doctors told me it was nothing

Those paramedics need a refresher course. Even in the off chance it was a panic attack they should have taken you to the hospital to be 100% sure. But then again I'm Canadian, maybe it's different in the US.

[@mitzi916]

YES! Especially since having a SCAD alone (no plague build-up and blockage) always has a "normal EKG"!! While EMT taking you to the hospital is always the patient's choice if they're conscious - they need to be better educated that EKG is not a 100% qualifier for heart disease.

It’s so different here. my husband fell chest first down the side of a mountain at 35mph and the ski lodge emergency said “it sounds like you have covid”. He went 5hrs with no treatment, and when he blacked out and rushed to the hospital. he had a torn spleen and had lost 70% of his blood into his abdomen.

I noticed she said EMT. I myself am an EMT in Texas. I make 17$ an hour and only do this while I’m in school to become a PA. I recognize these EMT’s definitely missed the obvious signs of radiating pain to left arm and excessive sweating. Any clinician would have recommended she go to the hospital with a high suspicion of heart muscle infarction regardless of 12 lead EKG reading. I also recognize the EMS system more than likely has a bias due to the demographic that typically fills it which may have played a part in what I suspect may have been negligence. Also, I realize that it is a hard job with high stress. EMS workers deserve more support to bring in additional workers and better benefits to keep current ones happy. I’m grateful she was able to survive such a terrible fate and I hope this is a learning opportunity for all those involved in EMS.

[@mitzi916]

Thank you for interviewing and bringing attention to SCAD. It's not uncommon for ER docs to not even consider a SCAD, we need to research the latest SCAD research so we can advocate for ourselves, even with cardiologists. I am a 4 yr survivor of a SCAD, I had mine at 59, although it typically happens to younger often postpartum women (and a handful of men.) I do not have High BP, Cholesterol, or Diabetes (common co-morbidities for a heart attack.) Mine was spiral dissection also in my LAD but thankfully no blockage other than the SCAD itself. I did not have the same crushing pain, I did have the profuse sweating, an ache between my shoulder blades and hearburn that wouldn't go away with OTC meds. Until I had the shock-like pain down my left arm, I denied I was having a heart attack. If I hadn't read womens' heart attack symptoms often differ from men in a meme on Facebook I may not be here today. I was medically managed for a year and cardiac rehab and yes, a SCAD support group to help me get to my new normal. I've read there is a 30 some percent chance of another SCAD, so the threat hangs over our heads every day. Getting the word out saves lives, as many ignore their symptoms, or their ER does.

When I was about 13 or 14 I had my first svt heart episode (supraventricular tachycardia) and I thought it was just a panic attack because at the time I never had experienced one. It was right before school so I was talking to my mom who was in another room just telling her something is wrong. You could SEE how fast and hard my heart was beating and I was getting cold sweats I was super dizzy and I could barely walk by how light headed I felt. That's when my mom called 911 and she and my brother helped me move to the living room couch since our living room was big enough for all the people and equipment. They did an ekg and my heart rate was 276 beats per minute and that's when they gave me a shot that to me seems just like a reset. I ended up getting an ablation and the first time it only took like 2 hours and they froze part of my heart but like 2 months later I had another episode just from bending over to pick up a shoe. I then got another ablation and this time it was about 9 hours and they unfroze the one part of my heart and burned another part and so far I haven't had another episode. It's been years now and my heart still isn't as strong as it use to be and im too scared to get it back to where it was if I have another episode and have to do it all over again.

Thank god she's okay I can't imagine what it mustve felt like to have one of those in my family we have a strong line of diabetes im prediabetic if im not careful I could be at risk for heart disease in the future I'm 24 still young and healthy but I have to watch myself im actually right now scared, Scared for my life I have an anxiety disorder so my panic attacks feel like death I cant even begin to feel what those people that have survived heart attacks felt like all I can say is i am happy that u are ok

[@priceless7887]

Now a days heart attacks r counted as normal bcoz of its countless patients

[@itzayanatorres2020]

A family member of mine passed away from a heart attack today.

[@clarewhite3004]

OMFG, you can have a normal EKG and still have a heart problem! Just because you're not having a heart attack (tissue death) at the exact moment, that doesn't mean you aren't about to have one! The EMS team was incredibly irresponsible to say there was nothing wrong!

[@breannamason1859]

You can't look at the numbers, you have to look at the symptoms as well. The numbers can help rule something in but can't always rule it out. SCAD is quite common in young females and should have been in the back of the EMS crews mind as a differential diagnosis.

[@leahgracefecteau]

That is hard and awful but I am glad she is better this why it’s important to remember anyone can have heart attack man or woman and know what to do

[@kali5821]

This is so scary but I’m glad she’s ok

[@1991punkrocker]

I want to watch this but I'm afraid I lost my grandpa from a massive heart attack I wasn't around when it happened my dad had diabetes we passed away I believe he may have a heart attack but it's good to know how it feels like to have one so that you are ready and you know what the signs are.

Did you dad pass away?

[@1991punkrocker]

@@kristinccha he passed away in 2012 later after having a stroke they told me that he had a heart attack and they found him the next day.

[@missytusara8274]

I feel for you, my mother passed away from a major heart attack while she was home alone back in 2010, and I've been so terrified of having one ever since.

[@feleciathomas4245]

Thank God you survived.

[@Winnie-hq5hs]

Greetings from SCAD survivor in Denmark❤ Best wishes to you and your family❤❤❤

[@carlaoska-gerak2581]

Praise God for you and your family. Your extended family in MI is praying for you.

[@billythekidder7182]

It’s not the same for everyone. It’s common, especially in women, to have no symptoms at all. Learn the signs and don’t ignore your body. (Widowmaker at 39. I had 5 stents placed)

[@Lisa8583]

I can’t believe the paramedics gave the option to stay home even with those symptoms ....

[@zellanutellaa]

Right??,?

[@andyarmstrong1493]

So glad you survived. I've been there, you were lucky. I hope you're doing well.

[@Komerican10]

Knowing that on my paternal side has heart disease scares me. My moms side has hypertension (which I have) and colon cancer. Sucks.

[@kioshy_.]

Recently a coworker had one at work, damn i panicked, he is okay now, ambulance was there in time 🙏🏻

[@YGardenRose]

I’m so glad you took it seriously and went to the hospital!

[@Bratzbaby02]

My grandfather suffered multiple until he finally died of one in 2009. My mom was completely torn. 2022, my mom died of a sudden heart attack while she was sleeping. It’s a definite big worry for me.

[@dariosandoval3608]

Only when your loss consciousness, it's where you're more likely to died from a heart attack and if you don't complain about pain issues in your body. For that matter there are folks who died unexpectely from brain aneurysm, brain tumors after they complain of a headache. A man told me that his sister complained of headaches, then days later she suddenly collapsed and died, turns to be she had brain tumor.

[@tiny1174]

God bless you glad you made it

[@michibichi9718]

So happy to see you doing well

[@kalevala29]

very similar to an aortic dissection, which is not about blockage but separation of tissues within the walls of the aorta, the large blood vessel that carries blood from the heart to the rest of the body, it results in a weakened blood vessel wall that may also rupture, which usually results in death. A sudden onset of pain is typical at the moment of dissection. The pain is described as ripping or tearing and as the worst pain experienced. thankfully, her attack was not as severe, or she would have required a quick trip to surgery.

[@SPQRafc]

I know the feeling. From a normal routine to intense pain due to the plaque breaking off and blocking an artery. Imagine having a turnakit wrapped around your arm and not being released, your body weight on your chest and dripping in sweat. The issue I had was time delay but luckily or as much luck as you can get from having a attack the ambulance had a EKG as standard and went straight to the hospital. You also want to hope you get to a hospital that has an interventional cardiologist ready to catherize. I didn't pay for anything but if i had to i would probably get another attack from the bill. Money can seem frivolous in those instances. At least some of us have had a preview. Anyways, it is what it is (and was). 😀

[@raelynmarie78]

im so sorry but im glad you surived! this is now on my worst fears list

[@kamanama3671]

May you have many blessings in your long and happy future

[@Superdimensional]

I had a heart attack a month ago, two blocked arteries, primary 97% (widow maker) secondary 100% blocked. I had ZERO pain in my chest, it was a wave of feelings of disco in my jaw, then my head, then the back of my arms (triceps) I had slight light headedness, cold sweats but no nausea or vomiting. I wasn’t sure what was wrong just all these weird feelings radiating. I was taken to the ER by my wife and I had to have an angioplasty and two stents placed. I’m ok, but tbh I have a weird feeling in my chest since…. Also I have a light flutter occasionally when I’m breathing normally… I have started to exercise and I feel better when I do, and I’ve totally changed my diet to border line vegetarian.

[@marylamb6063]

I've never had a heart attack but know people who have had them. It's amazing how symptoms vary from person to person.

[@k0rxhusband361]

My grandma died of a heart attack and my dad survived 4 heart attacks

[@Alloverunique]

I got heart attack last year and i was 29 at that time. It was STEMI

[@abuzzingbee]

i'm so glad she is able to live her best life despite of a heart attack. she NEVER should have been like... given an option to go home. Like, I get COVID and all, but all those symptoms pointed to a problem.

[@Gerardomartinez-ll7it]

I myself am an EMT in Texas. I make 17$ an hour. I recognize these EMT’s definitely missed the obvious signs of radiating pain to left arm and excessive sweating. A properly trained basic life support clinician would have recommended she go to the hospital with a high suspicion of heart muscle infarction regardless of 12 lead EKG reading. I also recognize the EMS system more than likely has a bias due to the demographic that typically fills it which may have played a part in what I suspect may have been negligence. Also, I realize that it is a hard job with high stress. EMS workers deserve more support to bring in additional workers and better benefits to keep current ones happy. I’m grateful she was able to survive such a terrible fate and I hope this is a learning opportunity for all those involved in EMS.

[@mstckz]

Would I survive from a heart attack due to dehydration?

[@foreverloving5565]

Googled this because I had a pain in my chest and I was scared
