Heart attack is a serious, sudden heart condition usually characterized by varying degrees of chest pain or discomfort, weakness, sweating, nausea, vomiting, and arrhythmias, sometimes causing loss of consciousness. It occurs when the blood supply to a part of the heart is interrupted, causing death and scarring of the local heart tissue.

Hi, I had a silent heart attack ,and aside from not having a lot of strength and breaking out in cold sweats a lot ,I haven't had a lot of symptoms up until lately . Since October 16th,I've had 8 attacks of angina . I wasn't doing anything strenuous when they happened . The most recent one woke me up at 2:30 AM this morning , and lasted longer than the others , and I didn't think to grab a nitro and put it under my tongue this time . I'd like to talk to others who have angina, and what they did/are doing about it .

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Thank you for your reply ! I did go to my internist, and also a new cardio, but I went away feeling as depressed as always , because they tell me I have to have an angiogram and a probable bypass, as other cardios have said . I am terrified of having a bypass, My Mom was very critical after hers, and I am a chronic pain sufferer ,I just can't deal with trying to survive a bypass . I am on Isosorbide now, so I will take it until or if it no longer works, then I know I have no choice but to call 911 .The anxiety of being told this has sent me into a terrible depression .
