I'm worried

*needs support from fellow Hypsters*


please distract me

I hope shes OK. I think she will be honestly. Its pretty common to have a good recovery from them now, you just have to take care of yourself better from then on.

I'll keep her in my thoughts

 

[Wolfwood]

I'm not much for prayer, but this is one instance where cold hard facts can be comforting. The odds are in your mom's favor that she'll be okay. I'm rooting for her and you.

 

[Angel_Faerie]

My thoughts and prayers are with your mom. Best wishes for a swift recovery.

UPDATE: they found a heart murmmer...she's beign held over night for more tests

 

[SuperFerret]

Heart murmurs are actually quite common. Most of us probably have minor ones that we'll never know about.

As Wolfwood said, the odds are with her, especially if she's otherwise healthy. Not that a little prayer would hurt either way if you're so inclined though.

I'm really sorry to hear this, I will be thinking of you and your family and say some prayers for your mum.

 

[Eggyman]

Sorry to hear this, mate. I'll be thinking of you. My dad had a heart attack; if you have any questions, I'd be happy to speak with you.

Hope you Mom feels better soon! My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.

My thoughts and prayers are with you, your Mother and your family I_Am_Legend_Fan. My father suffered a heart attack a few years back, so I know what you're going through. I'm sure she will be alright. Best wishes.

UPDATE: after 6 hours of waiting they are FINALLY going in for the tests

 

[SentinelMind]

Your mother will be in our prayers. Take Care and Stay Strong!

Did she have an actual heart attack Legend, or did she think she was, or have chest pain, and then they found a heart murmur? As has been pointed out, murmurs are fairly common. Ditto irregular heartbeats.

Speaking as someone who just went through a heart scare in June...I got the idea that this stuff is scarier than it actually is, if that makes any sense.

Regardless of what happens, they will run her through the battery of tests, up to and including going into her heart with a catheter, which isn't nearly as bad as it sounds. And then, after that's done, they will do even more tests. The tests suck. My grandfather, who had a quadruple bypass six months before I went through my regimen told me that the surgery itself is less annoying and painful than most of the tests were.

Go into an urgent care and say "I have chest pain" everyone. Watch what happens.

Hoping for a speedy recovery for your mom, I am Legend, and hoping you and yours are doing all right. Please keep us posted.

May I ask how old you are Guard? Seeing as your grandfather has had problems, and now yourself, there's a good chance it could be hereditary. I ask as I'm concerned for myself and my brother's futures as our father had a heart attack a few years back and as a result also had to have a quadruple bypass, but also our grandfather before him died of a heart attack. So there's a good chance with it being hereditary that my brother and myself could potentially suffer the same fate down the line, and I'm always interested in hearing other peoples experiences in the event they could prove to be beneficial for the future.
