    Tuesday was quite a day.

    Calling 911, as I realized I was having a heart attack
    Having the 2 ambulance guys tell me, "Mr. Beck you are NOT having a heart attack."
    Getting to Emergency room, and being surrounded by professionals, who were also informing me, "Mr. Beck, you are NOT having a heart attack.
    Screaming at everybody, to take this phone number down and call my wife, please tell her I'm sorry and I love her, and have always loved her. 
    Again people telling me, "Mr. Beck, you are not having a heart attack"
    Me again screaming, "CALL MY WIFE!!!!"
    Now giving in to the fact that I am going to die here, surrounded by professionals who are making a mistake. 
    Then getting into a fetal position, turning ghost white, sweating like you wouldn't believe, and finally having a doctor say to me, "Mr. Beck, you are indeed having a heart attack!!!!!"
    Me replying, "Oh really, you don't say?!?!?!"
    Now watching all those folks who originally thought I was full of it, now spring into action. 
    Feeling the pressure of stents being put into me, as I soon realized you are AWAKE for this little fun procedure. 

    And I remember EVERYTHING up until that point. 
    Because thats when it got real interesting. 

    Been through the same thing years back, glad your ok

    Such a harrowing experience, incomprehensible.  Your quick thinking was truly remarkable.  

    Rest up, all the best to you Speedy.

    Wow. Speedy I am so happy you are alive and handled things the right way. I had a little scare myself a few months back where I thought I was having one but actually wasn't. So you're story freaks me out but I'm really glad you are feeling better now. Rest up!

    Hey there!
    Thanks for the well wishes.

    So what was the deal?  Did you have 100% blockage in only one artery or were there more?  Did you end up with a stent or angio?  Do you bypass surgery coming?

    Also, did you get the cardiac cath while you were awake or an actual stent?

    Glad you’re feeling better. I’ll share my story as well, not as a topper but more about how important family history is in this equation.
