I feel blessed to b here. I heard them tell me on the ambulance, Lori, ur having a heart attack. I heard so much in the background and they were giving me nitro and the next thing I knew they were shocking my heart. I guess I went black until I felt the bump coming off the stretcher at the hospital. Apparently they had to shock my heart again at the hospital. Into ICU and then transferred finally to another floor. I remember asking the EMT to please get me to the hospital it hurts so bad and that I didn’t want to go yet I had grandchildren. The next thing I immediately did was prayed. I understand the blockage was in the right coronary artery. I’ve always had vascular problems and an aortic bypass but just never dreamed of going into heart problems. Anyone else that’s had heart attack to the right coronary artery?
