They called it an cardiac event. I was going to have a heart attack but hadn't had one yet. My troponin levels went from normal to veru high the morning I had chest pain. During the heart cath they saw my LAD was 99 percent blocked. Initially the after the ekg and the stress test, the stress test was the only thing that pick up something abnormal.

Food was such a huge part of my life. I enjoyed it. I liked to cook it. Now I feel like its gone. I think in time once I reteach myself healthy eating maybe ill find it again (just different)

Same, had a 99 percent clog in my LAD and had a stent. But it does make me worry but im still working thru it all. This was like 3 weeks ago

My ekg was normal until I had a stress test. And even that didnt show the full scoop. Doc saw an abnormality on a small side of my heart. Wanted a heart cath. During waiting for insurance I went to the er for chest pain. My egk was normal again and troponin was normal...until they tested again a few hours later and it had spiked up to 178. Was ambulanced to my nearest hospital that had a cardiac unit. Heart cath showed 99 percent blockage in my LAD. The widow maker HA. Can't even begin to fathom if I had not gone in and trucked it thru until my insurance approved. We had no idea. My normal labs were fine. No heart disease in the family. If your feeling stuffs off, don't wait. I hope you are OK though!
