Age doesn't matter as I saw one 26 year-old woman in the ER who was on here 3rd one but she also had a little problem with the pipe.
Mine were from living the good life, cholersterol levels through the roof (over 400!) and being a smoker doesn't help at all.
TV doesn't help matters as they show someone grabbing their chest or left shoulder so people assume that the pain isn't in those spots it couldn't be a myocardial infarction, the technical name for a heart attack. The blockage usually occurs in a blood vessel around the outside of your heart.

Yeah, I've joked also that not only are my boats nitro powered but I am also. The Nitro-Quick pills are in my pocket but also take a time-released pill every day and you MUST take them daily. I found that out also I as didn't for about 2 weeks and ended up back in ER again with guess what? Yup, another one. I've got to go down and pick up my refill here in a few. You can't go cold turkey on them, you have to be weaned off slowly if you ever get to quit taking them.
I'm living on Toprol XL and Isosorbide Mononitrate aka, Ismo.
