I am 40 years old and On Aug.28th ,,had a massive Heart attack , this came without warning ang happened suddenly. I was having dinner with a girlfriend and it felt as though someone was sitting on my chest,,followed by cold sweat ,jaws hurting and numbness in left arm.
The paramedics lost me twice on the way to the hospital, and am confident that God had his hands on me that night. My right artery was 100% blocked ,the main artery was 80%,and another was 50%.I now have 3 stents.My question to the men is this : I am on many meds now ,Plavix and others ,,I am having intamacy issues ,,is this typical?
