Hi, this last Sunday my mom had a heart attack and was hospitalized. Shes back home now but we are planning a vacation and she wants to drive to San Antonio (which is 10 hours away) instead of take a 3 hour flight. I personally think that flying would be less stressful. So my question is what do you think?

On other words: If you have a heart attack, what are the chances that it will be fatal and what are the chances that you will survive it?

I believe that a heart attack means death of cardiac tissue.
I do not think that it has to mean to necrosis due to lack of oxygen, but could be due to other things such as electrical damage.

So an arrythmias attack that nearly kills someone that leads to perminant damage is a form of heart attack but not a ‘myocardial infarction’.

What is the odd of surviving one?

My girlfriend’s uncle just had a heart attack, he has three blocked arteries, and has refused surgery. What would happen if the doctors do not clear up the blockage?

[ Serious as well as minor side effects have been reported with the use of oral contraceptives. Serious risks, which can be life threatening, include blood clots, stroke and heart attacks. Some women should not use the Pill, including women who have blood clots, certain cancers, a history of heart attack or stroke, as well as those who are or may be pregnant. The Pill does not protect against HIV or sexually transmitted diseases. ]

First question: don’t people realize that pills are actually usually more life threatening than condoms?

Second: They don’t actually offer any sexual protection at all, and completely open up your immune system. Why not an abortion instead? It’s SAFER!

Third: Some brands are known to cause CANCER. How is cancer better than having a baby?

Fourth: What is so bad about periods that you would rather have blood clots than a normal cycle?
I was being sarcastic with the “Safer” thing.
I would worry more about hamburgers, but even children understand that hamburgers are bad for you. Most women ignore the side effects of a pill.

I have struggled with my weight my entire life. I am obese. I have recently lost 30 pounds but it’s hard for me to lose more weight. Other than my weight, stress is my only risk factor for a heart attack. I recently started working out in an effort my improve my heart’s health. I’m not a diabetic; i don’t have high cholesterol.

Just wanted an opinion. I haven’t been able to find stats about young adults having heart attacks.

I am 45 and a woman. I have been having pain in my shoulders and mid back, trouble breathing, and dizziness. I have been using my inhaler every 2 hours and have been taking 800mgs of motrin for the pain and a gas X and previcid for my stomach. The breathing problems seems better but I am still in some pain. My husband, a nurse, says I am not presenting the symptoms of a heart attack and thinks it is more upper respiratory related. I have also had sore shoulders for a while with limited movement that my doctor thinks is my rotator cuff. Do you think I should ride it out on pain meds and albutoral or go to the emergency room? I’m not in distress as much as I was. Any suggestions? Thanks!

How long can a heart attack last before it kills you? My father recently passed away after a heart attack. I’m not sure if someone had gotten to him sooner if he’d still be alive? I’ve heard many people have survived after a heart attack. Can some kill you in as little as 5-15 minutes, or does it take an hour. I am really concerned and I don’t want it to eat away at me. Thank you for your information it means so much to me.

I was just reading an article about Florence Griffith Joyner who died in 1998 and it lists her cause of death as a heart seizure. What’s the difference between that and a heart attack?
