Hi
Im a new registered member however ive been reading this board for a long time. Though i would register and post this. Im not sure if i will keep this online though........
Ive just had 3 heart attacks at age 30. Ive noticed a few other threads about heart problems on here so i thought i would post this.
I train with weights 4 times per week. I usually get in 20 minutes of low intensity cardio at the end of every weights session and try to get in an hour of cardio on non training days.
Im 30, fit and healthy with no previous medical conditions.
I am currently in asia out of my home country and the plan was to be away for 6-9 months.
I do have worldwide travel insurance however it excludes asia (which i didn’t realise) so all medical expenses have had to be paid by myself. Im from the UK where all medical expenses are free on the NHS.
Last week I felt a bit under the weather for 4 days. On day 2 we went to a local island and I was bit all over my legs and arms by mosquitoes or something similar. I felt a little tired and drained and my stomach was a little off. I did not train at all due to feeling too tired to go to the gym. On the 5th day during the afternoon I felt a strange feeling. All of a sudden i felt ill, my jaw started to ache a little and so did both arms. At the time I was in the apartment just watching TV and so i lay on the sofa for 30 minutes and it passed. I then felt fine and went about my daily business as normal.
Later on that evening the same thing happened again however it was more severe. The pain in my jaw and arms was more than before and i felt worse. After about 20 minutes i got a sharp pain in my chest right in the centre of the chest bone. It felt like somebody had their fist on my chest and was pressing really hard. I started to shake a little and kept going hot and cold. I gradually got worse and told my partner to ring for the doctor because there was something definitely wrong. She got told that she couldn’t get a doctor but could get an ambulance and so i agreed and the ambulance was called. I gradually got worse while waiting for the ambulance.
I arrived at the hospital and told them it felt like i was having a heart attack. They said i was too young for a heart attack but did an ecg anyway. I was then left on the stretcher for about half an hour and doctor came to see me. He pushed on my chest to simulate the pain and i said it made it worse. He gave me an injection which he said was a pain killer. I was left again for about half an hour to an hour and the pain finally stopped. They did another ecg which they said looked fine but the earlier one did show something out of the ordinary but it was probably because i was shaking. They gave me some anti histamines, some allergy tablets and some ointment to rub on my chest if it happened again. They told me I had a viral infection or an allergic reaction to something. I was then sent home.
On day 6 the same thing happened again late on in the evening. It was not as severe as the day before but still not pleasant. My partner said we should go back to the hospital but i said there was no point because i would just get sent home again. It also cost us around $100 USD to be seen at the hospital. I know money isn’t really the issue when it comes to health but all they did the evening before was send me home. The pain lasted around 1 and a half to two hours then passed. I then went to sleep.
On day 7 i felt fine, but still a little tried. I did a search online for the symptoms of a heart attack and they were exactly what i had had. My partner made me take myself to hospital so off i went. I arrived and explained that the same thing happened to me again last night and they said i should have come back to the hospital. They did an ecg on me and i waited to see the doc. The same doc saw me and said the symptoms did sound like a heart attack but my ecg looked ok. He did another one and he said that did possibly show something wrong. He still said i was too young for a heart attack. Because i had done a search online i knew that a blood test would show a definite answer if i had had a heart attack so i asked for a blood test and they agreed. They told me i had to wait 2 to 3 hours for the results so i waited in the hospital. I went back to the blood department to get my results and they said they had been looking for me. They put me on a bed and hooked me upto an ecg. They told me that i had had a heart attack and they were keeping me in hospital.
My father had a few heart attacks about 4 years ago. He was in his late 50’s, over weight, smoked 40-60 per day for 40 years, didn’t exercise at all and ate fried food or fast food all day every day. One of my grand parents and one of my great grand parents died of a heart attack. Because of the ages the cardiologist ruled out this as anything to do with family history. He said that its only in your family history really if anything happens at a young age like mine.
My Troponin I level was 9.7. The normal range should be less than 0.03. They told me mine was very high. They also said my blood pressure was a little high but nothing to worry about.
They kept me in hospital for 5 days. I was put on aspirin, blood thinners and anti coagulants.
On the 2nd day in hospital they did a kind of ultrasound on my heart which showed my heart working normal. They could not see any problems with it.
The doctors and the cardiologist said that there were two tests that could be done to find out what was wrong with me. I could have an angiogram but it was quite invasive and carries a risk of death with it. The other test was a heart ct scan. If the ct scan showed a problem it was 70% accurate and if it showed there wasn’t a problem it was 90% accurate.
The doctor said there was no point in the ct scan because it would probably show a problem and i would have to have the angiogram anyway. The cardiologist said i should have the ct scan first because its less invasive. Also the cost for a ct scan was around $400 USD however the angiogram could cost upto around $9000 USD depending on what was found. I have to pay for everything myself here so obviously i opted for the ct scan first incase i didn’t need the angiogram.
I had the ct scan and the results came back the day after. Everything was fine and they could not see any problems. Both the doctors and the cardiologist were shocked and thought it would show up a problem. The cardiologist then told me i seemed to be fine and he didn’t see any point in having the angiogram now that the ct scan had showed up no problems.
He advised me not to fly for at least a week and to just take it easy for now. I asked about getting back into my normal lifestyle of weights and cardio and he said just do everything as normal but take it easy at first. I was then released.
They said i had seemed to have a heart attack. I had all the symptoms and my Toponin I levels were very high. They said that the reason was a muscle spams. Just like when you get a twitch in your leg, I had the same thing happen in my heart. It had a spasm which caused a heart attack or heart attack symptoms. They said it was just unlucky that it happened to me while i was out my home country and its just one of them things, it can happen to anybody and probably wont happen to me again. They cant find anything physically wrong with me. The other small possibilityis i got a viral infection that attacked the heart. He said there is nothing wrong with me and im fit and healthy.
This is good news, however im not quite happy with the explanation. I feel great, just like i did before however i still don’t have a definite answer. This news got around my friends quite quickly and quite a few people have told me its happened to somebody they know. They got an infection at a similar age to me, had a heart attack and have been fine since. Ive heart of around 5 different people who friends know of a similar thing happening to somebody.
Ive now been out of hospital nearly two weeks, so thats about two and half weeks since i had a heart attack. I didn’t have any problems while i was in hospital and i haven’t had a problem since. Im not on any medication however they gave me some angina tablets to take if it happens again. I put one under my tongue and let it dissolve it i get the chest pain again.
Im still in a foreign country and ive got a few options.
I can stick around for 3-5 weeks and fly back home with somebody, or I could fly home next week on my own. Ive had the all clear from the cardiologist here so im not sure what to do. Ideally id like to stay but i could be a ticking time bomb. I think its probably a good idea to get myself home and have further tests however i doubt they can do anything that hasn’t already been done here apart from the angiogram that i got advised not to have. I did ask the cardiologist if there were any other tests that could be done, or if there was any other thing it could be that would not show up on a ct scan and he said there wasn’t.
They asked me a couple of times if i had taken any drugs, coke or any Viagra in the past few weeks but i hadn’t. I don’t do drugs.
I don’t smoke and never have done. I don’t drink much, only in small quantities when out at weekends with friends. I eat very healthy, workout and do cardio. I take care of myself as much as possible. All my friends were shocked and said i was the healthiest person they all knew.
Now ill get onto gear usage. I did tell them that i have ever taken any because i felt like they were looking for an excuse to blame it on like coke or Viagra. If i had told them about gear usage im sure they would have just blamed that for the cause.
I did a light 2 week cycle of test prop 100mgs eod, and tren ace 75mg eod. This was followed by 3 weeks of pct . 4 days after pct i had the heart attacks.
I had previously done a 4 week cycle with the same dosages, and a 2 week cycle with only 35mgs tren eod and 40mgs anavar ed. The 4 week cycle was done a few months before my recent one, and the 2 week one was done about 4 months before the 4 week one or possibly even longer. I also took some sustanon and deca around 5 years ago. Ive only really dabbled with small light doses for a short period of time to see how i reacted.
I have also dabbled with ephedrine and caffeine stack without the asprin a few time for a few weeks at a time. I havent taken any for nearly a year though.
I will be going back to the uk for further tests however i haven’t quite decided when im going to go back. I have done a search online and it seems that the heart takes upto 8 week to fully recover from a heart attack so it may not be a good idea to do a long 13 hour flight just yet. On the other hand, if this is going to happen again id rather be back in the UK.
Could the gear or eph use have contributed to the heart attacks? If so what could they actually have done that would cause this? Could i have caused either temporary or permanent damage? Do i need to tell the UK about usage so they could do some other checks that haven’t already been done? Is there anything else it could be that the tests have missed?
Anybody got any other ideas?
