| Introduction | 6 5 10 I set out to ride the elliptical trainer for 30 minutes but got off early because I was out of breath. I tried to clear my head. On the way home I became confused. I was dizzy so I pulled over on the 163 and put my flashers on. I couldn’t catch my breath. I wondered what was wrong. Did I have a blood sugar imbalance? Was I having a panic attack? Was I having a stroke? I tried to call 911 but I kept hitting the wrong numbers. I got out of the car and laid down on the side of the road. A car accident occurred that was pretty serious. It caused traffic to backup. As luck would have it an ambulance was caught in the traffic and saw me. I waved them down and they came over to check me out. They realized that I was breathing irregularly and recommended that they take me to the hospital. It seemed more precautionary. I thought about it and nearly decided to drive home. Fortunately I let them take me to the hospital. While there it was determined I was having a heart attack. I was rushed to surgery where I had two stents placed into an artery in my heart that was 100% blocked. This procedure saved my life. |
