On may 3rd of 2004 i, to my surprise, suffered a heart attack..i was at work, alone. it started with a pressure in my chest and a feeling of mortal fear..at first, or was it wishful thinking, i thought i was having a panic attack..i called my boss and he came in..i waited, like an idiot for my husband to pick me up and take me to hospital...he got on the wrong road from a buying trip he was on, so the wait was even longer..i was given a clot buster in emerg. and felt better..a week later i came home..i was on a roller coaster of emotions and also a lot of meds...i am still having chest discomfort so i am scheduled for a dye test at a major heart centre...i am apprehensive and would like to hear from those who have had this procedure....thanks karen
