Tell Me So I Can Understand

If you ever need to explain your Heart Attack (post-MI) in 30 seconds, start here.

“I’ve had a heart attack. My heart healed but the disease that caused it didn’t go away — I take medications every day to prevent the next one. I wanted you to know because chest pain in someone who’s had a heart attack is never just heartburn. Sudden chest pressure, jaw or arm pain, shortness of breath, sweating — call 911 fast. Time is muscle.”
