Very good to post this info. A coupla other pointers. A family member took aspirin, which saved their life. Medical care was not up to speed. Did not even get nitro. Quality of care varies. Consider distance, time, various factors. Often very definitive pre-hospital care can be administered enroute to the hospital via ambulance. Driving a loved one there yourself might delay crucial interventions. Note that denial is also considered a symptom. "This can't be happening to me." There can also be other signs/symptoms. Pale, diaphoretic. Anxiety. For ladies it can be masked as nausea not classic chest pain. "I just don't feel right." Nothin' to play with. Don't tough it out. Get the care you need. The risk of damage/death and possibly permanently changing one's game/quality of life, is too much to downplay. Certainly consider what lifestyle changes need to happen to IMPROVE your health. Keep moving. Look at folks around you who have not done this. Those are the folks i would run on (normally). Even if i ran on you a dozen times, i always took it seriously. It was my job to treat, not to downplay or ignore it. Dayum if COVID was not a gamechanger for me. Now heart rate goes down as low as 35. But i have been checked and still feel no ill effect. Tests done and i am still functioning like normal. Figure that. God is good.
