What does a heart attack feel like?

Go to the ER right now.

Do they have Google where you are, OP?

Yes I googled the symptoms and it says a HA can feel like anything, even toothache. So I wanted to hear from someone who's experienced it.

Always smart to come to a gay gossip site to seek an urgent medical diagnosis. You are one sharp tack!

Go to the ER RIGHT NOW.

OP can I have your stuff?

Go to the ER as the above posters have mentioned. Hopefully it is just a muscle spasm in your chest or back muscles but best to be sure. Good luck, OP!

If you can't get to the ER or a doctor take one aspirin for now and stay relaxed.

I agree you should go to the ER. They should see you immediately, things like that are prioritized.

Let us know how you make out. Take care, OP.

Go get checked immediately

OP, before you go, do us a favor and save us some time....what's on your IPOD?

Edith Piaf, R11.

OP, you need to get moving. Out the door.

Okay, okay.

Best wishes OP. Please do let us know what they find out.

OP ARE YOU OKAY?

Oh, fine, you'll ask him.

OP keep us posted

OP, at the ER, they will check your blood level of troponin, a protein that indicates heart damage.

If you take large amounts of biotin for some reason, tell them—it can screw with your troponin level and interfere with a heart attack diagnosis.

Chest pain is not something with which you fuck around and find out. Delay can cause serious damage. Or, you know, death.

OP you may be having angina instead of a heart attack. Regardless, it's a red flag that you may have heart or coronary issue. I had similar symptoms five years ago and it was angina due to an artery that was 90% blocked. I ended up getting a stent inserted. I never had an actual heart attack. It's best to be sedate until you get checked up.

[quote] they will check your blood level of troponin,

Uh-oh, he might have drank a lot of troponin last night!

Good thing they caught it and put in a stent before you had a heart attack R20!

Well if it's anything like a Mac Attack, it ain't pretty.

"you may be having angina"

Eeew, I thought OP was a man!? R20

angina dentata is the absolute WORST

Call 911 and tell them you think you're having a heart attack. Do it now.

I hope you're going to the ER right fucking now OP. Please keep us updated.

Also, what size are you?

^ gurl, cock size is the last thing on OP's mind right now

He’s probably about 6”.

Shit, r28 beat me to it, with a much better one I might add.

Painting your counters?!?!?!

That’s what great big fat people call making a cake.

OP, you pulled a muscle in your back, thus the spasm. It's notorious for being felt it all around the side, front to back, and up to the neck at times. Quite general at first.

Lie in a warm tub and then apply ice. But don't fill the tub too much, just in case.

Also, take an aspirin and a couple acetaminophen.

Oh, you also had/are having a heart attack. No big deal.

R33 is trying to Whitney Houston the OP!

R33 is being cunty but my uncle had to go to the ER twice because of what he thought was a heart attack but it was all muscular.

Make sure you’re wearing clean underwear!

Fuck you with your uncle's dick, R35. That is, if he's dead yet.

R37 Are you on uppers rn? Gross.

I had a major heart attack, my cardiologist tells me a 10 on a scale of 1-10. I had been working at home all morning. I had a lot on my plate that day so stress was involved. I had just wrapped up work on several contracts when I broke into a weird, heavy sweat. It came on in a split second and it was drenching. It was a cool day and the house was not hot at all. That was the first warning sign. I felt odd, a bit off, confused. I called my partner who told me to go lay down. I didn't. Good thing because I'd have died. Instead, I called 911, took a quick shower and put on clean clothing. I didn't want paramedics meeting anything but a 'fresh' me. I met them at the mailbox and they did a check on my vitals, wanted to know why I was still walking around and trying to work and then hauled me away. By that time I had nausea and the most severe back pains I'd ever felt. The pain was between my shoulder blades and very intense. It was only a 10 minute drive to the hospital but I started to die in that ambulance, I left my body and pulled myself back. They had me chew 3 baby aspirin and started an IV. Looking back, I had NO IDEA I was having a heart attack. I think if I'd realized it I may have stressed, panicked and died. I was young but I smoked 2+ packs of cigarettes a day. I had stents put in that day. The cardiologist later asked me how I was even able to climb a flight of stairs, that's how fucked up I was. My major arteries were blocked and I had only one major artery left open and pumping at 15%. I'm told I was lucky to have survived with no scarring or permanent damage. I spent the next 2 weeks in the ICU. I felt odd because I was surrounded by very old people. It was touch and go I guess. I'm fine now. I have bad genes, The doc says I could have spent my life grazing in a field of greens and still had a heart attack because I have horrible cholesterol (thanks mom and dad). The cigarettes were the frosting on all that.

How old were you when this happened, R39?

I’m glad you’re okay now.

BTW, heart attacks are individual. (I'm R39). The symptoms, how one feels, can be differing between males and females. When you are feeling up to it, look up heart attack symptoms.

R40, I was in my early 40s when this happened. I'm fine these days. Thank you for your kind thoughts.

[quote]Painting your counters?!?!?!

I've painted my counters. There are kits and specific paints that work very well.

If you have nasty '70s Formica and can't afford to get it replaced right now, I recommend it.

OP, do you happen to own a house out in Hackensack?

Mean, mean, meanies

Was it the Widow maker?

OP, how are you?

I’ve had numerous experiences where it felt like a heart attack - based on Google descriptions. It never was. Twice I got stuck in the ER for hours and eventually told its likely muscular. Now with the Covid mess, ERs are a nightmare. I would have to be pretty sure it was before I went.

GO TO HOSPITAL !!!

If you're having the described symptoms in your late forties or older you should assume it's a heart attack.

It's always better to wait a few days. Just get a lot of rest. But you'll feel better if you finish your project first.

A Heart attack will usually start with pain in an adjacent area. The jaw, the neck, or the right or left arm Typically, you are out of breath sweating, cold or clammy. Chest pains are rarely a heart attack as the pain usually radiates elswhere first. If you think you are having a heart attack, call 911 .

Could be angina though. Best to let the doctors decide.

Probably just a bubble.

Let's all share our favorite memories of OP while we wait.

Remember when he was threatening suicide earlier this month? Now that was a hoot!

indeed. hilarious.

OP? Can I have your stuff?

OP I hope you got to the hospital. Please let us know how you are doing, and ignore the others here that are taking this so lightly. They have no idea.
