Stents

[Big_Bob_2]

Im glad i found this site. in 1999 i drove truck over the road and had massive heart attack, i was on the side of interstate in the CB calling for help. ambulance got me to hospital and was given a shot to ease the pain. when the doctor started to walk away told him i feel like passing out and why i peed my pants. he said when you die you relieve yourself. i said no im right here. told me they had to use the paddles on me. had to have a 4 way bypass. 5 months later 2010 had another heart attack  and had a stent in. 2012 had a heart attack and had a stent put in..on the way back to my room and to rush me back to put 2 more stents in. Oct 2014 had a stroke was in hospital for 4 days and made it thru and everything was ok. was out of hospital on sunday and monday  went back in with a heart attack. was doing ok and they were going to do a heart cath. while i was waiting had a heart attack had 2 stents put in.so i have 6 stents. doctor told my wife to watch close. that my whole attitude will change.. that i will get upset real easy. with alot of noise when the grandkids and great grandkids come over after bit i go in the bed room before i go nuts and scare them.i have banged my head against the wall instead of punching some. when i feel things comming on i tell my wife to go shopping or go see the kids cause i dont want to hurt her. i see my regular doctor and see what can be done. i know i was told if i dont control temper it might do me in. i said im ready for my maker and maybe would be better than being what im going thru before i hurt someone.

Good for you getting on those any depressants.  They can help.  Takes about 6 weeks before they start to work.  Hang in there, live mortgage free!

i was in my 50s and sounds like u had heart attack. i felt like i had indegustion than my arm started to get numb. the just pain was mild but got worse every second. you need to have it checked out.. a lot of truck drivers have heart attacks. all the stress and time lines. not eating right.. heart attack has no age limit. after my first heart attack and having diabeties my heart doctor said no more trucking.. so i had to get disability.

How old were you when that happened? I'm a tuck driver to. I'm having chest pain I posted about it just now then saw your post. I don't think it's a heart attack. Pain is manageable. My hands are cramping or numbing.

Sorry you have had such a rough time.  Maybe there is a medication that can be prescribed that will help settle or lower your mental stress.  

Your heart history is one that goes beyond anything I can comment on other than Wow, so sorry.

Try to get control of your emotions and try to find something each day to focus on that will help relax you.
