I am 31 and had a heart attack couple weeks ago and have no reasons to have had one and I had horrific chest pain and sweat through my clothes like all my clothes were wet. I went in and tested me and have. I have no blockages and no high cholesterol. Thank the Lord I have no permenate damage either. My blood pressure was 137/95.

By my count its about 1000% go to the doctor via the all knowing TBH crew! I can come up with something to assist you if needed or there have been several very good ideas on here for free or cheap checkout. CMON MAN!!! Do you have kids? Do it for them and your wife!!
My dad died suddenly one night when I was 11. He had been told it was nothing to worry about and to keep an eye on it. Well the next one got him and I really wish he was here to meet my wife and my kids. I miss him often and I'm 50 now.Originally posted by gingib View Postx2!

My GF's is in North Carolina today with her mother who had a cath done Monday. The cath found blockage that didn't show on EKG or other tests. They decided to treat with drugs rather than any more surgery since she is still recovering from a hernia surgery 2 weeks ago.
I have had about every test they have including Thallium stress test. Some of these blockages are hard to locate. One test they gave me found carotid artery blockage which was causing me headaches and light headiness to where I almost passed out. I've been on statin meds for near 30 years now and metoprolol for the past 4 years since my last heart attack.
Coronary artery disease is not fun.

Everyone here with first hand experience as well as medical professionals have weighed in on your issue and glad to see you went to the ER.
I know you're stressed about the medical bills, but let me say...don't worry about it. We've been in a couple circumstances with no insurance and high medical bills. First off you can negotiate these bills to a lesser amount over time. But the best route we found was to just pay what you can to each bill monthly. At first we were young and could only afford $10/month since there were several different bills. The next time we paid up to $20/month. Point being as long as you are attempting to pay in good faith they are happy and they will not report delinquencies to the credit bureaus.
Just thought I'd share that since you don't need any added stress at this time.
