Re: Needed something a bit more "special" than the 406....
Yeah, I've had two heart attacks myself, I was very lucky. I recently had an op to fix two blocked arteries.
I would recommend anyone to get regular chloresterol and blood pressure checks, and if you smoke, cut down or give up, my ex was a heavy smoker, I have never smoked and have never been overweight.
Also, If anyone has a niggly pain under the left arm, in the left shoulder, or left side of the chest that has not gone away no matter what you do, get it checked out, I had this pain for four months before my first heart attack, I ignored it because being a mechanic, pain in the chest, back or shoulders is quite common.Fortunately for me, I live five minutes from the hospital.
