Suzie's Story - surviving a SCAD heart attack - Go Red 2015 

This is frightening and as an experienced RN (but not in cardiac) I can understand why the ER nurses felt as they did about her. But I learned long ago that what seems unlikely will happen to a patient and we as nurses better believe it! When a patient tells you they’re having a heart attack THEY ARE until clinically proven otherwise!!! Listen and believe!

My wife has had two now. 1st one when she was 31 and two weeks ago at 50. Love for you two to talk.

I m living in belgium i am 40. Just have the same thing. With à newborn baby... It is really difficult to don t know what about the future

One of my friends said that they were envious of those in their twenties as apparently they have the whole of their lives ahead of them and I had said how its not guaranteed that those in their twenties have their whole lives ahead of them as someone I knew died of cancer when they were only 27.

I knew about heart attack symptoms after doing first aid courses!

I just had a stemi heart attack last month my home health nurse had to call EMS I know that some thing was wrong with chest pain cold and sweaty EMS took an EKG and sure it showed ST elevation the rushed me to the hospital I don't remember nothing but I was told I went right to Cath lab the found out that my main 2 ateries was 100% blocked woke up in ICU still with the external defibulater on my chest

This just happened to me in April - ended up with a double bypass. Thanks so much for sharing your story!!

I had these symptoms 4 times over and the hospital didn’t think it was a heart problem at all ..

I had blood clots in the lungs back in 2017 when I was 41 and everyone says to me how did you walk into a and e seriously ill? I had got the bus and had dragged myself up to a and e!

Yeah they thought I had PE too!
