I'm at that age it seems, Heart attack

Agree with @animal-inside - sorry this occurred but you need to relax, and get control of your emotions as they have a significant impact on your BP, HR, etc. Not to mention mental health, sleep, etc. As much as it may be difficult try doing deep stomach breaths. Have the doctors / nurses not mentioned you are a few points off hypertensive crisis?

I would be assertive with the docs and nurses too and read my own file, ask for copies, etc. and if needed and if healthy enough get to a different hospital. Is the doctor just a hospitalist or a Cardiologist? Out medical system is so fucked, this Province didn't have a Cardiologist for years so we were sent to internal medicine specialists. You could travel to the next Province and see a cardiologist and then return with instructions to pass to the internal medicine specialists. That being said, from family experience - the IM Specialists were so arrogant they wouldn't follow the Cardiologists instructions. It is a messed up medical system. It is hard to believe but Canada has a second rate (at best) medical system.

Hoping for a speedy recovery for you. Do you best to relax, think positive, and don't strangle anyone. keep us updated.
 
Geez man.

Glad you're in a better place at southy now. I'm assuming you were at your local hospital first? Fuckers.

Take care and wishing you a speedy recovery!
 
Hope you see a full recovery.
Was waiting hoping someone else would ask the question first, but I am very curious, did you take any of the mrna shots?
 
I too

Hope you see a full recovery.

I had a dr tell me stress, anger etc is a incredibly significant factor in heart issues.. All linked to blood pressure, heart rates etc..

@Cain what province are you in? Our health care systems across the country are just fucked now. Billions of dollars leave our country weekly, yet our health care, education and infastructures are collapsing.
 
I feel for you, sir. I have had quite a few run-ins, professionally and personally, with quite a few Docs over the years. Some Docs are very headstrong, conceited individuals that don't listen to their patients. Often the only way I could get through to them was to mention I had worked 30 years in Psych and knew most of my stuff. It was only after that that I could get a real conversation going.
Stay calm, speak confidently, and you will get the communication you need.
Get well, sir.
 
As soon as I read your OP I had one initial thought, it's been said here a few times already but here is one more cause we care,

I implore you to focus on the mental aspects here. Calm and focused is the play, less internal tension both mental and physical, clearer vision, better decision making.

All the best in your recovery sir.

A lot of people's noggin's put them in the ground faster than their body..

Not saying this is the OP's issue, but something we sll need to keep in mind.

My 40 year old wife is 5'4 and sits between 123-128lbs year round and does not need to do a damn thing to look better than most 18 year old in a bikini... But my wife will end up in the ground due to her anxiety before her organs or body will give out.

My brother stresses himself out constantly all teh time as well, actually has caused him health issues.
 
I'm wondering what we can learn from this, you mentioned weed and cigarettes so I take it your a smoker? Also did you take many precautions regulae basis cardio, fish oil etc, did you have high BP previous...

Friday started like any other, I fed the horses chickens and pheasants.
Changed and drank my pre workout (batch27) then went to the gym.
I felt "off" and could put a finger on it. Kinda flu like.
Warmed up and all felt fine. I worked bi and tris as I normally would and it felt fine.
Finished up and headed home to get ready for my afternoon massage.
While I was laying on the table my left shoulder into my back started to burn then hurt. It went straight to my inside elbow for a quick minute then to my wrist. Burning and painful. While this happened my chest became really heavy and hard to breathe..I figured ok dumb ass your having an anxiety attack. Relax.
I went home and told my wife. It was brushed off the same way I did.
I went and laid down for 10 minutes and everything became worse. I had to hold my chest and said to my wife we have to go now! I hate the hospital especially this one I'm at.
I was made to wait until a nurse asked what's happening and then took me in right away. Ecg and blood work right away.
Blood Confirmed a heart attack. Waited for 3 more hours for the second testing of blood to come back and the Troponin enzymes came back even higher. I was still in the attack.
Fast forward, I stuck in this fucking place until Monday. I'll be sent to a specialist for an angiography *sp to see how much damage has been done. By the sounds of things it's gonna be a stint and blood thinners for the rest of my life..
BP was 175/117 on Friday. Today it's 145/98 it's better but still high.
I've not slept since Friday, I'm angry and very pissed off with these people here. I've had 2 guys die beside me since I've been here and a 3rd is on the way out.
I can't speak for them but for myself I ask every time what are the meds and where's my blood work that says I need these drugs.
They tried to hook me up with dioloted again. A synthetic version of morphine. I'm highly allergic to. It causes respiratory failure, yet they tried to give it to me. The fucking doctor said how do you know your allergic to it, did you have a scratch test to determine it.
I said no, read my file. You dumb bastards almost killed me with it 9 years ago.
To top shit off they wanted to start me on crestor 40mg. 9 years ago same shit. It put me In to a full body contraction even my damn eyes. Last for 3 days almost..
I fucking snapped last night when they came back with crestor again. I asked what my ldl was and was told we haven't tested it yet!!! Then why the fuck are you giving me something you have no fucking idea if I even need it.
I said get the fu k out don't come back in here for me unless you bring the doctor, and by the way tell him to take the cock out of his fu king mouth so I can understand him.
Security came in and the attitude changed with the nurse. I looked at him and told him get the fuck out or he'll be thankful it's a short ride to the hospital, run along and call the cops for me.
I'm waiting for the police to show up today.
Bunch of fucki g cocksuckers

The system is broken brother. Has been for awhile now. Unfortunately your story is far too common in hospitals these days. Get feeling better eh.
