Had a stint placed after a heart attack near two years ago after an allergic reaction caused the heart attack, complete respiratory failure and near a month in critical condition, I am 45 and still dealing with the thoughts of dying and every small muscle twinge being another heart attack … Cardiologist says everything is PERFECT but does not seem to help.

   The pain travels to your doctor about learning what pains can be seen as heart attack like when the pain travels to your back and armits all about other symptoms that can be troublesome.
