My uncle had a heart attack
He is only 46 years old. He is going to be OK, but what scares me the most is he has been having chest pain and discofort for a while now and has been seeing doctors, and they said nothing was wrong with him. The same thing is going on with me so now I am worried. Maybe there is something in our genes?

Re: My uncle had a heart attack
OH NO! Im so so sorry. It is genetic, but the chances os someone under 30 having a heart attack are sooooooo rare, so please dont worry. have your PCP check you out to ease your mind
I will pray for him!

Re: My uncle had a heart attack
Sorry about your uncle.
As for your situation, maybe a second opinion will put your mind at ease? I think you need to trust your gut and if you're nervous about it definitely check it out!

Re: My uncle had a heart attack
I'm so sorry to hear about your uncle, Julie
I know you have been to doctors about this problem before and I agree that its a good idea to maybe get a 2nd opinion?
But also, not to throw more information out to you - a lot of times, so many diff. medical conditions "mimic" heart/coronary problems, so it cannot hurt to get a full workup done by a physician. I went through some issues last year that made me CONVINCED I was having heart problems (it also runs in my family very extensively) and it turned out that I had a severe case of acid reflux/GERD ... often some of the sympomts of reflux mimic chest pain so that people often think they are having heart problems (like I did!) I was put on medication and it took about 3 months until I felt better again.
OF course, this might not be similar to what you are going through, just figured I'd offer you another suggestion
Good luck & feel better! (prayers for your uncle too )

Yes... and it happened on my cousin Jessica's 17th birthday.
I have seen 2 cardiologists so far but no explanation. They say I have a heart murmur but that is it. However, I have seen my holter monitor results and I have seen my EKG's and there is more there that is unexplained.
Another theory I have heard from 1 ER doctor and 1 cardiologist that it may be from taking the Pill.
But anyway, my uncle is still in the hospital. He was moved from St. Catherines to Stony Brook. No word on when he is coming home yet.
