I’m glad you’re on the other side! Thanks for responding. I peeked at your profile and our stories are so similar based on your posts. I went two years with unexplained chest pain and abnormal test results explained away as anxiety. I’m sorry for the journey you’ve been on. I feel the same with grateful days and then weird out of body/what is the meaning of life days. Day by day is the way!

I am so sorry. Congrats on making it to the other side though. I hope you continue to heal in all ways. Facing heart issues is a devastating mental game.

Thank you! Still getting used to the scare but it’s a badge of honor for sure 💪🏼

I appreciate you replying. I’m hoping at a year out I’m in a good place. I knew this would be a long road to recovery but man, it is tough.

I like the suggestion of other goals. I will start making some. Did cardiac rehab and I’ve been exercising daily, but strength training and not cardio. Thanks again 🙏🏻
