My best goes out to your Dad here’s hoping he weathers the storm. You didn’t mention his age but, I also experienced the same. I am 73 years of age at this time and my only real medical issues were my 2 heart attacks. My first was in 2006 with a totally constricted Right Coronary Artery, my first stent. My second was in 2012 with another totally constricted Left Anterior Descending Artery was reopened with a second stent. I get around quite nicely and am very fortunate there was no damage done to my heart. Thanks, Al

He is 68.I was lucky when I had mine at 39,no heart damage and one was due to stress.

It was caught quick,heart problem history run in my dad's side of the family big time.My grandfather dropped dead of a heart attack when I was 10 years old.He was stubborn on things and would not go to the doctor.My Uncle Pat had a heart attack 4 years ago and caught it early too.I knew it get me one day too and was right.My 2 younger brothers are thinking about it now,thought it was a joke at first and is not.Both are heavy smokers,mom and I told them they better think about quiting smoking today.They don't smoke around me,the chemicals in the smoke make me sick.I am heavily allergic to cigarette smoke

My wife and I have been together since 1974 and have been married 44 years. I don’t believe that if we hadn’t each stopped smoking 2 pks a day in 1983 and 1984 we would not be celebrating the 44 years of marriage. In the past 5 years I have lost both my parents 6 mos of each other both in their 90’s, 2 brothers and 1 sister, all younger than I. One of my brothers at 69 years of age had a massive, went down and never came back up. Sometimes I ask why have I been spared? I miss them very much. Thanks, Al

The guy who works for me & good friend said he wasn't felling well so i told him to sit down for a while he also has a kidney transplant
Later that night his wife called & said he survived but he needed a quad bypass after 3 months he was well enough to return to work.
It was getting close to Christmas so i offered him his usual bonus & he said he didn't want it as he hadn't been at work ,after much asking him he would not take it.
Anyhow 10 minutes later he collapsed & went into spasms so i though his ticker was playing up again so i called an ambulance they took him away.
Next morning he shows up for work & i asked what he was doing here and what happened he said they told him it was just a panic attacked ,i thought that makes sense i have worked with Italians for many years & never known one to knock back a bonus LOL
