My Story August 19,  2016  1:56pm EST

One night I had just sat at the computer and started experiencing pain like I had never had before. It lasted about a half-hour and went away. A month later I was having an extremely bad night and I experienced chest pain and could feel my heart racing. Next day I went to the doctor and she sent me for a stress test and confirmed I had weakness in my heart and had suffered a heart attack. They sent me to a cardiologist who scheduled me for a cadiac catherization. They found no blockage but put me on medication. I will see my cardiologist in several weeks. I was told I need to be closely monitored and that my doctor will most likely send me for more tests to try to determine what exactly is going on.
