Symptoms: indigestion, I had problems with indigestion and I thought that's what I had. I was treating myself for that and I think the doctor had called and checked on me and I told them that I needed nausea medicine renewed because I felt nauseated. I started feeling numbness in my gums after Thanksgiving. As December came, that stayed for a while and they stayed for a couple weeks. Then 12/12, the indigestion came. It felt like something was stuck in my chest. Every time I ate something, it would make the pain worse. I kept drinking water and dealt with it as much as I could. On 12/15, I told my husband to get me some TUMS and it seemed like it eased up a little bit. I used those daily 3 times daily. 12/16 came and I chewed the tums and they didn't help much. I took the Pepto Bismol and I got really sick after and I threw up the Pepto Bismol and the food and I was sick. I told my husband that I needed to go to the ER and thought that it wasn't the indigestion but that it could be my heart. So they told me I had to wait a while and they finally hooked me up to the EKG and they did a blood test and they told me I was having a heart attack. They gave me a regular aspirin to chew and the pain went away but they told me I was still having a heart attack. They did the test one more time, and they said yes you're still having a heart attack. They admitted me to the hospital and they wanted to do a test with a contrast dye and I let them know I was allergic and they still did one without the contrast dye. They said I had 3 blockages in my heart. They said they could either do open heart surgery or the 3 stents in my heart and opened it up to get the blood flowing in my heart. They told me I had to quit smoking and I smoked up to 5 cigarettes a day and I haven't smoked since the surgery. I never had shortness of breath so I'm not sure. They also gave me a prescription for Nicotine gum 3mg 3 times a day. Doctors said that if I smoke once, I might have a heart attack. They also changed medications: added Empagliflozin 25mg half a tab daily, Atorvastatin Calcium 80mg once in PM, Metoprolol Titrate 50mg half tab twice a day, Promethazine HCL 12.5mg tab twice daily as needed for nausea & vomiting, Tylenol 500mg as needed every 8 hours. They also stopped Amlodipine, Hydrochlorothiazide, and rosuvastatin. Still adjusting to the medications currently, burping, heart rate low recently. Just have to be cautious. New for me and have to wait and see. Also have to maintain not smoking. Given cards for stents to keep in bag, getting blood pressure monitor in the mail soon.
