[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This happened to my DH two weeks ago. Also early 40s. Turned out to be a heart attack. One artery was 90% blocked. FORCE your husband to go. There is a window of time when bloodwork will show elevated Tropinin levels, which indicate a heart incident. EKG can be normal even after a heart attack; my husband's was. Insist on going to the ER. See if they'll do a catheterization to reveal if there are any blockages. GO NOW. [/quote] Wait, his artery was 90% blocked, he had actually had a heart attack and his EKG was normal? So why do they do EKGs as part of a physical if they basically can only detect a problem as it's happening? They are basically a useless diagnostic tool. Glad your DH is okay!![/quote]
