I felt a sudden, crushing pain in my chest - but as quickly as the pain came on, it subsided.
There was little reason for me to consider myself a candidate for a heart attack The day my heart attack occurred had started completely normally. On that balmy September afternoon two years ago, I had made it home in a good mood and was looking forward to enjoying the fine weather. As I was thinking about whom to invite for join me for a long walk or bike ride, I felt a sudden, crushing pain in my chest. Within seconds, I was drenched in sweat. As quickly as the pain came on, it subsided.
I was very weak and could barely make it up a flight of stairs, but I was home just one day later to begin my recovery. This was my first experience of feeling physically vulnerable, which took some days to get my head around. I was fortunate to have had my mood and self-esteem buoyed by family, loved ones and friends being around me or at the other end of a telephone. If anything, I grew to enjoy the attention, but there were several, ‘Why me?’ moments.
