Well, it hit me Monday afternoon. Called 911, went to the ER, no sirens. Doc checked me out, gave me more nitro. Ruled outa blood clot from my recent hand surgery. Confirmed with the on call cardiologist. Since I wasn’t showing symptoms so the sent me home with nitro.
Got up the next morning, Tuesday, did some things around the house then at around 10:30 chest pains hit, took a nitro, no affect, took another 5 minutes later and no change, maybe worse. 911 again, paramedics hooked me up to the EKG and the readings were all over the place. After them giving me a handful of aspirin and more nitro they loaded me up and off we go, sirens blazing. Got to the ER, they were ready in case I went into cardiac arrest. After more nitro and some pain med the wheeled me down the hall. Hooked me up to another EKG. Laying there I saw my wife watching the EKG (retire cardiac nurse) she suddenly got excited and told the nurses there that the EKG was going crazy. Two techs showed up within a few minutes and wheeled me to the cath lab.
Ended up with two stents in an artery that was 90% blocked. Went back in the next day and got three stents in another artery that was 90% blocked
See the doc on Tuesday, I’m hoping they don’t decided they need to do bypass.
