I wonder what exactly happened. "Heart attack" is a loosely defined term when it comes to the general public. When medical people talk of a heart attack they generally mean a myocardial infarction (MI). Thats when one of the arteries that feeds the muscles of the heart is clogged to the point where the muscle downstream of the clog starts to die.

It is unusual for a male under 34 to have an MI. It is not too unusual though for other potentially dangerous heart conditions to occur in someone who is 31. Generally the symptoms are a a lot the same, pain, shortness of breath, and fatigue. And the rules are the same as well...don't wait to have it looked at.

Every story shared here is important. Might help someone live long enough to take out their grandkids fishing.

I need to add this in...if your a stubborn SOB and don't want to call the ambulance to take you to the ER when your chest pain gets real bad, that's ok. You're an adult and it's your privilege to do stupid things. But don't drive yourself in, you put other peoples lives at risk. Call family, or a taxi. And take that aspirin.

Aspirin, It's actually a pretty dang good drug. It helps with heart attack survival, headaches, muscle pains, and maybe even help prevent colon cancer. They should just put on the label what it won't do...it won't bring a dead hooker back to life. Remember that.
