Hi Sandra I'm a retired Coronary care nurse of 44 years. The procedure you had was a cardiac catheterization which is actually not surgery, but where a special catheter is placed in the groin, wrist or axilla. It is threaded into the coronary arteries whereby a stent can be placed or plaque cleared from within an artery. Patient's are given conscious sedation whereby they are sleepy but able to be aroused to answer questions during the procedure. The blood tests were cardiac enzymes such as CPK/Troponins. These are released into the bloodstream when cardiac muscle is damaged. There also will be EKG changes seen. You are right about the fact that women present differently than men and will attribute their discomfort to heartburn or just being tired. More women die of heart attacks than women. I'm so glad you are alright, but now hopefully you won't delay going to the E.R. if it ever happens again. There is an expression in cardiology which is, time is muscle. Meaning the longer you delay the more damage will occur and possible death. Take care.
Praise God. I went to the ER with stomach pain and had stage 4 colon cancer last year. I kept putting it off saying it was ibs. But what struck me was you saying the emergency room was empty. I had the same weird experience. I went at 9:30 in the morning and everyone tells me that is a miracle by itself. So God worked in both our lives! I also felt a peace when they took me back for two different surgeries. I’m still here and in remission. God takes care of us. 🙏
Praise God for your remission! It's stories like yours and Sandra's that nudge us to pay attention to even the slightest irregularities in our health. Thank you for sharing.
I’m so happy you are doing well now and did not have to have open heart surgery. My hubby had 2 stents put in several years ago and is doing great! I had a triple by-pass 15 years ago, and now have a pace maker. Every day is a gift! 😊
Denise, I'm so glad to hear that you're in remission. Last summer, I went to the ER with right-side abdominal pain. The appendix tip was a little swollen but the appendix didn't look inflamed. I was given the choice between an immediate appendectomy (by this time it was early the next morning) and go home the same day or be hospitalized for a few days in a watch-and-see effort. Because I'm immunocompromised, I wanted out of the hospital and chose the immediate surgery. It turned out that I had appendiceal cancer. Fortunately, the appendix had not ruptured, at which point I would have joined you with a stage 4 diagnosis, and margins were clear. I wish you oncologists who are knowledgeable and treatments that result in continued remission.
Sandra, your video title startled me. I've been watching your channel for a while now. You see, I went down to Texas over the holidays to visit my son and his family. It was the second week while I was visiting that I experienced a terrible pain in all of my teeth - both top and bottoms of teeth. It was a pain like none other I've ever experienced. I immediately took a couple of Tylenol and it eventually stopped. Over the next 2-3 days I would experience this same awful pain in my teeth again. Taking Tylenol each time. The pain didn't last long. I flew back home a week later and had a pre-scheduled doctor's appt for something else. During this appointment my Dr. was asking lots of questions for a test I was going to have coming up. Some of my answers to her questions determined right then to give me an EKG in her office. The results of the EKG showed I had some sort of incident. She wouldn't say what tho. I was scheduled with a numbers of tests... Stress Test w/dye, etc. Well, I had a silent heart attack and didn't know it. Fortunately, I didn't have to have any stents. Put me on a blood thinner, 81mg aspirin. My cholesetrol has been high for years (I'm 73). The first statin I ever took...Lipitor ruined my leg muscles. I quit that statin quickly, but have suffered leg pain daily since. Sorry this is so long, but just want to say...do your due diligence and research before starting/staying on a statin long term. Read statin forums of what patients have said about their own statin injuries. Just saying. I'm so glad tho to hear you came through your ordeal successfully. And, yes...women's symptoms are so much different than men's. Many women are in denial when we suffer these unusual pains. Now I know...
Sandra, your video just popped up while scrolling and I would like to say that my Mom passed at 72 she was at a door knocking and suddenly she told her friend I don't feel well. Within 5 min she was gone. It was like a light switch that just flipped off. I'm so glad you survived 🤗♥️
Oh goodness Sandra, I am so glad you are okay. I am a RN and you are so right that women present with different symptoms than men do. Thank you so much for sharing this and I hope all of your viewers pay attention and if they ever experience any of these types of symptoms that they will seek help right away! Better safe than sorry. Thank you for sharing!!♥🙏
Sandra, I’m so glad you are doing well after such an unexpected and scary experience. For you to care enough about your subscribers to share and make aware of heart attack symptoms in women you very well may have saved a life. Your story is a perfect reminder to seek medical attention whenever something just doesn’t feel right. Bless you! ❤
Uncle Bill told me you would be sharing your story. ❤ How scary for the both of you that you had to go through this. Im so glad you are doing ok and sending many blessings and prayers for the best recovery. Love, Kelly Matt and I cant wait to meet you in person one day. I know my uncle loves you very much and so happy you found eachother. 🙏❤ It was a blessing you crossed paths.
Sandra , I have been following you since my precious Gene passed in April of last year, I found you about a month later. Your Faith in our Lord is why you went into an empty ER. The closer we become to Jesus in our walk, I find he seems to show us just how mighty he is..I admire how you share your Faith and Jesus on social media!! Praise Jesus you are ok.. ..I love your light heartedness, you always bring a smile to my face..so happy for you, that you found another Love. Take care and God Bless ...Warmly, Roberta
Sandra, what a blessing that you have Bill. You may not have called the doctor or gone to ER if you didn’t have him pleading for you to go. Amazing that stints can be done through the wrist now. So glad you didn’t have to have open heart surgery. You look great. Love the way you did your hair today. Like the Subscribe and Thumbs Up pillows behind you! Take care of yourself. We need you on utube spreading the gospel. 🙏🏻 One of your sisters in Christ.
Sandra, I’m so glad to hear you’re doing so well after the heart attack. Thank you for sharing your experience as it will help other women. My husband died of a massive heart attack at home in July 2019, and I am concerned about living alone and having a similar experience. I didn’t know stints could be inserted through the wrist, and I’m glad they were able to do that in your case. You are so blessed considering the blockage could have been so much more dangerous. Blessings to you for a long and healthy life.
I am so surprised. This goes to show that it doesn’t matter how well we take care of ourselves we are bodies operate in secret. It’s truly a blessing for you and Bill that this was able to be repaired. High cholesterol is very serious. I’m sure your sharing will prompt many to pay closer attention to things that seen little. Thank you and blessings,❤
Sandra, I can't believe you had surgery two days ago! Praise God they could go through your wrist. Thank you for describing your symptoms and things to be aware of. You are such a beautiful woman and the love of the Lord shines through you. God bless you and Bill.🙏
I AM so glad you are doing well. Continue eating healthy and exercise to keep your heart healthy. I pray you continue feeling great......many blessings dear friend..................much love...MINDY
Sandra, you are such an inspiring person 2 listen to!🌹Thank God you are on the mend. Bill counseled you 2go2 the ER and it was the best decision. They were able to avert further trouble. I hope that in due time you will be able to wean urself from these meds and continue taking the natural supplements. There are ways to lower cholesterol through proper nutrition. You are here and I'm so glad! ❤️
Oh Sandra, I am so thankful you are ok!!! I worked as a nurse just shy of 25 years and women most of the time do show different signs but, women also have denial thinking we can “fix it” ourselves!! I’m so thankful you had Mr Bill and you’re back home!! Take it easy!!!❤❤
So glad to hear you are doing fine after having a heart attack. Praying for long and healthy lives for both you and Bill. You are such a blessing sharing your experiences and your faith with your programs.
You are one lucky (blessed) lady! In 2016, I was dx: with breast cancer 3/31. I had checkup due to HBP w/cardiologist 4/21/16…I went in saying I don’t know why I’m here as I now have to deal with BC. But I’ve been to ER 4 times w/both arms aching so bad…each time they’d do couple blood tests and tell me indigestion take Tums. When the cardiologist heard this, she said we need to do a heart cath right away! 4/22/2016, I had the cath. I went thru what you describe but I felt like I remembered it all. Doc ran up thru my wrist, said I had 95% blockage in right coronary artery!!! He said it’s called the widowmaker!! A bare metal stent was placed . 6/1/16, I had a lumpectomy. Stage I BC. Got thru 24 rounds of radiation. 8 yrs later, I’m fine! No more arm pain!! Both arms!!! I’d sit down and chew Tums! I’m so fortunate I didn’t die. Yes we women present differently w/heart problems. Both my parents keeled over dead …heart attack! Both sides of my family history died of heart issues. I too am a Christian and believe the Lord just wasn’t ready to take me! Im 75 April 3!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you Sandra for sharing. I'm so glad your home and doing well. I think your experience will help women who are watching this. I know I learned from it. So glad you're here to tell your story.
Oh Sandra! Praise God for you. Thank you Father for sparing her precious life. 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 Thank you for filling us in.I had a cerebral stroke 4 yrs ago. But when it started I went to the ER. They treated me for VERTIGO!!!Sent me home, symptoms came back 2 months later. ( Thought ‘the VERTIGO MUST BE BACK’😆Nothing! It was a full blown stroke.😢And praises to our King, I’m still here.🤗🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Wow Sandra I'm am so grateful you're doing better. My heart sunk when I heard you say "heart attack!" I couldn't believe I was hearing you correctly! Please, please take care of yourself.🙏❤️ I am so glad you have Bill, what a blessing that is. This gives me pause to re-evaluate my stress levels. Thanks to you you brought this to the for front of my mind to be more aware of my own heart. I'm so grateful that you shared this with us. I always love your videos and the scripture you read at the end. God bless the both of You & Millie ~ 💞🌺💞 🙏💖🙏💖🙏 🐾🙏🐾🙏 Much Love to you ~
Oh, Sandra! I’m so glad you caught it in time and had the surgery! You are a precious lady. You look great! When my father had his heart attack in 1978 he had complained of an upset stomach and jaws hurting. Unfortunately, he passed away that night in the hospital. He was only 57. God bless you and Bill! I was thinking of you both a few days ago and how you met and are building a sweet life together. I am missing that in my life. I will be praying for you both. ❤️
Dana, 57 is so young. Thank you for sharing. I will be praying for you that someone special will come into your life. God may send you a best friend that fills that void or a wonderful new love. He knows what you need.
I’m so glad your okay Sandra. So kind of you to remind women that our symptoms are different. I had a heart attack a few years back and just had some tightness in my chest, no pain and felt light headed. I don’t take any chances now. Thank you Sandra, take care and God bless❤️
GOD BLESS & PROTECT YOU SANDRA & BILL ❤️ ✝️ 🇺🇸 PSALMS 23 & 91 ❤️ ✝️ I LISTEN TO THE READING OF PSALMS KJV ON TH-cam ON MY PHONE EVERY NIGHT WHEN I GO TO BED
I just found your channel for the first time with this video. I just wanted to tell you not to let the heart attack make you feel old because I had one at 33!! I was fit and in shape and had two little kids, but I was stressed and abused in my marriage, and sure enough full blown heart attack and a complication that led to a near death experience. I am 55 now and struggling somewhat with the next chapter of my life and really wanting to find some inspiration because I don't have a mother to be a role model. I had grandmothers but they've been gone for a long time. So, I was looking for older inspiration and there you were!! So happy to find your channel.
you prove by your posts living life everyday is key, you moved forward with a new life, and suddenly a happening, proves standing still isnt the answer, thanks for the lesson, teach us more, lol
Wow Wow Wow What A Shocker!!!!! I saw the title of the video BUT I wasn't expecting it to be for real. I thought you were just putting a spin on the title. Mannnn, I'm so glad you are still on planet earth even tho like you said, you knew if you weren't, you would be in your Heavenly Home, Praise God. Well Sandra, it wasn't your time. Bill need you ❤️
I’m so sorry to hear about your heart attack, but I’m also so glad you did ok ❤. Glad you had Bill and the Lord with you 🙏💕. God bless you and Bill. Prayers for you both 🙏❤️. HUGS!!
Never ignore your body. If something feels wrong it usually is. I had a major heart attack at 37 years old. Maybe a few smaller ones. I ignored it for a week or 2 because I thought I hurt my back
So glad ur doing well ! My Denny had a heart attack Sunday night ! Same thing ! One minute he was helping me with dinner, and then he went to sit on the chair in the living room, and he said his throat hurt, and his left arm felt numb, and he broke out in a sweat within like one minute from the time I left him in the kitchen to the time he sat in the chair no symptoms before that !! I called 911 they came did all his vitals he was good ! He wasn't having a heart attack then but they still wanted to take him to the hospital for observation, he did not wanna go, but we made him. So thank goodness !! on the way to the hospital we got stuck by a huge long train, and while we were waiting on the train, he had a heart attack in the ambulance so needless to say we were all panicky. Finally, the train went by and They rushed him to the hospital within half an hour he was in the cath lab having surgery ! He had 99% blockage in one artery 75% blockage in the other artery had two stents put in. He has two more blockages, but they can't do those now. He will Go back in a couple weeks for that ! Yes so out of the blue, but no tight chest pain just sweats and his arm was going a little numb but not pain like you would think you hear. He was in the hospital 4 days and he just came home yesterday. He's doing well but it's pretty scary that it can come on that fast. Now I just have to figure out how to cook for him with heart friendly meals. Glad you're OK. You never know ! God had had our backs too because that's the third time I almost lost my Denny. ❤ hugs Barb ❤
Wow Barb, we need to keep our hearts right before God because we never know when God may call us home. I’m so glad he’s going to be all right. My new meds are causing my blood pressure to drop to low and making me feel woozy.God bless you both!
I’m so glad you are okay! Thank you for this enlightening video. I’ve always heard that women’s cardiac symptoms are much different than men’s. You look amazing! You are a joy! - Belinda
SANDRA, oh my gracious!! I can't believe this, because you are so on top of your health and walking also! Thank God, you are here tonight with us, I have tears running right now😭❤️. Thank goodness you have Bill now!!! Well, I went in and did a cholesterol test, Ecko Cardigram and a Calcium test. Well, they were doing my heart test and she said, we have to do a contrast in your vein. Lord, I know my BP went very high!! She blew my vein in my left wrist, hurt like----, finally she got in the crease of my arm, I was praying and I had 2 techs praying out loud!!! Can't use my right arm ever, NO. Next test was a breeze. So in the end, said heart was good, BUT, my heart is beating at only 85%. Said BP was high so they put me on Ramipril and Metoprolol ER. I never had HBP ever, so I keep a record for 2 weeks now on my Heart Rate and BP. I do need to lose some weight, so maybe this is where the HBP comes in?? It was all just so unexpected!!! Then send to Nashville, Tn. Only said this to let others know, please watch your HEALTH LADIES. Sandra, you look as gorgeous as ever, lord take care of you. I never heard of going thru wrist, so GLAD you told us this. I am here for you if I can be of any help, please know this.(BILL) LOVE YOUR SMILE LADY❤️ PRAYERS for you always🙏❤️
God Bless you too. I had severe pain in my side and my left shoulder in 2019. So bad that my husband took me to the ER. My spleen was causing the pain, possibly due to a blood clot. My late parents had had heart attacks and strokes, so that made me a high risk. Doctors ordered EKG, ultra sound of heart and stress test on treadmill. Found out I’d had a mild heart attack couple of weeks earlier when I thought I had indigestion. Women present differently than men. They put 2 stents in my heart thru the wrist. Spent 4 nights in the Hospital and was so happy to get back home to get some real sleep. And to shower. My husband stayed with me throughout, he is my gift from God. Spleen sorted itself out. Hemotologist had me take b-12 and prescription iron and Vitamin C. Still see him every six months and cardiologist yearly now. Cardiologist at Hospital retired so I guess I was his Swan Song?? LOL. So glad you too got the help you needed. We women are hard to diagnose for Heart Attacks. God works in mysterious ways doesn’t he?
Wow, so glad you are okay!! Looking at you in this video I could never guess that a few days ago you had a heart attack. Thank God Bill is with you and pushed you to go. I'm the same way about going to the hospital.
Oh my goodness ! We all are so thankful for ER personnel and Bill. My hubby has had 3 bypass AKA Cabg, one stent, carotid clean out, 3 vascular surgeries ending with 5 stents in legs. We all should hug ER. Getting older isn't a piece of cake, is it. Please be well.
My husband, age 67, had a significant stroke while cooking Christmas dinner. His speech center is affected with no paralysis. He is very healthy. Still hunting, goes to YMCA 3 times a week. High cholesterol and blood pressure, handled with meds. Aphasia and damaged vocal cords due to surgery on carotid a few days later. I was a Paramedic for years but he never told me he was having the worst headache ever for 2 days. Rushed to ER with CT scan they talked to me in the hall. Didn't want him to know right away. He is quiet now, not necessarily a bad thing. Stay well.
Oh Sandra, I’m so very happy that you are alright now. I hate that you had to go through this ordeal. God was with you. Sandra, thank you for being so caring, loving, and for being so open with us. You have no idea how you’ve helped me and others by telling this story and by going into detail with it also. Sandra, if it’s not asking too much, please share with us later how you’re doing with the new medicine you’re on now (I’m assuming it’s a statin) - I’ve had high cholesterol for years and my doctor keeps trying to put me on cholesterol lowering medicine, but I keep refusing, because I’m already on thyroid medicine and a blood pressure medicine (I react badly to most medicines for some reason). Your story is making me reconsider. Love to you, Sandra.
Linda Davis...I'm in the same boat. I refused the statins and am trying supplements, eating mostly whole foods, and doing intermittent fasting. And, getting more exercise! I also follow Dr Pradip Jamnadas on TH-cam. You might want to take a look. Keep hoping and stay well.
Ladies, do not be afraid of statins…..they could save your life by keeping all that cholesterol out of your heart. I was thin, watched my weight, had low blood pressure and very low cholesterol. Never sick either so I didn’t go for a physical for 7 years. Even though my health was the same, I finally went for a physical and my cholesterol was 300. In my case it is genetic because the same thing happened to my mother and brother, both very health conscious. For many years I have been on 10 mgs. of Simvastatin which I take at bedtime. I get tested each year and my cholesterol is constantly just below 200. I’ve never felt a side effect, I’m 75 and I still do all the hedge trimming, gardening and housework. I finally made myself hire someone to remove the snow even though I was shoveling my long, steep driveway up until two years ago. That was just plain stupid because nothing causes heart attacks like shoveling and throwing snow. Please re-think taking a statin. My father died at 64 from a heart attack while going up and down stairs installing wiring for a stereo at my brother’s house. My very lonely mom lived another 22 years.
OMGoodness Sandy, what a scare that must of been.. Thank goodness you had Bill by your side what a true God send he has been.... Heart problems run in my family and I'm always watching for signs, thank you for you insight. You look great like nothing even happened.
So glad you are ok. Isn't it wonderful as a Christian that we don't worry about dying - we know where we are going - I have no fear. Thank you for sharing your symptoms - it might help someone else. God bless - take care.
I'm so thankful that you are ok, Sandra! Praise God! I appreciate you sharing your symptoms so other women know what to look for. I am a new subscriber and have been enjoying your videos. You have such a calm, sweet spirit and look wonderful...I was amazed that you are 80! A friend lost her husband about a month ago so I shared your 1st video with her with the hope that she will find some solace and realize she is not alone. Thanks for sharing scripture on your channel....it's such an encouragement! Hugs to you!
Oh my goodness, what a week you've had! But God had your back and you're back to share this important part of your life story with us. Thanks, Sandra. And I'm so happy you look and feel so well. Here's to many more years of happiness in your new married life in Tennessee 🥰😇
Now Susan I have to admit I was looking for a response from you! LOL!Thank you for your prayers Sweetheart. I will be doing therapy. Right now my new meds are dropping my blood pressure to low and making me woozy sometimes. Once they are adjusted I’ll be fine!❤️🥰💕
@@Sandrabrownhappinesspast60 I was mighty upset....I know sometimes these things can be a blessing....we get on the right meds and have the stents put in and it gives us another 50 years of decorating! You ignored your pain as to not make a fuss...I do that too....last fall at the last minute I went to the ER and it was a life savor. Love and hugs to you my Sista so far away!!! ( And Bill too... he's cute nurse...oh boy...)
Please take your time to process all this. I had a heart attack at 47 while working in a medical clinic. Same symptoms. Really bad burning in my throat and heartburn. I worked my whole shift and finally at 5:00 pm I went downstairs to Urgent care. Next thing I am being rushed by ambulance to the Hospital. The whole time I'm thinking, I'm not in that much pain, can't be a heart attack. I was super active, healthy non smoker, low cholesterol. Ladies, she is right. Listen to those symptoms and take it seriously. I'm 60 now and feeling wonderful. Bless you dear Sandra. It will hit you in a couple of weeks what you went through. Take the time you need to heal mentally. We love you and are keeping you in our prayers. You are a warrior!
Praise God for answered prayer! I've never seen anyone look so radiant as you after surgery you look absolutely beautiful. I love your makeup that lipstick is a great color and your earrings are to-die-for! Keep up the good work cuz you look strong and fit praise God!
@@Sandrabrownhappinesspast60 I agree, and hope and pray one of those plans includes reaching my sister who loves to watch your videos, being a recent widower herself ... but she doesn't know the Lord, so I thank you for openly sharing your faith ❤🔥💥👋🙏🕊🛡⚔✨
My cholestrial was almost 300 and I have been on a statin pill for several years. My blood work last month showed it down under 100. I hate taking a statin drug, but it does work. Also, those hospitals are also teaching other doctors, so maybe so many people there in surgery could have been students. Just another thought. You looked amazing in your video. You take such good care of yourself, and a bump in the road very well showed that. Keep smiling and God Bless.
Thank you for sharing your symptoms as I t can save other women’s lives. Women’s pain threshold is higher than mens since God made us to bear children. God bless you! ❤
I’m sorry you went through this and I’m keeping you in my daily prayers . Your a sweetheart and I hate seeing you going through this . But I know Jesus is keeping you well. God bless !
Oh my Sandra ❤️ bless you , I hope if you ever feel that kind of pain again,you don’t put it off again. I understand we women and even men think it’s just indigestion ,but always go to the doctor or ER when symptoms like that happen, My husband survived a widow maker,Thank God🙏🏻 He had been hurting ,sweating, and was having shortness of breath for about two weeks ,then it got way worse all of the sudden, he still thought it was just indigestion or angina ,when it was a heart attack💔 Thank God I talked him into going to the hospital 🙏🏻when I took him, they did a ekg, it came back normal,but the doctor said let’s do a blood test,about twenty minutes later they came back and said he was having a heart attack😳😫 They had to take him to a larger hospital ,by the time he got to the larger hospital he had a Major heart attack on the way.But thank you Jesus🙌🏻 He was put immediately on a heart machine, and lung machine,they did open heart surgery the next morning. One doctor told us in ICU that most men do not survive the window maker,and that he was extremely lucky he survived it. I Thank God he saved my husband🙌🏻 My youngest brother died last Thursday of diabetes complications. My heart is sad💔 Texas Lady🤗
Sandra! ❤️. God has surely protected you through all of this! Father, to you be all GLORY!!! Praise you Lord!! So thankful you are okay…more than okay!!! May you and Bill be able to spend many healthy, happy years together!! Sending hugs from Kansas!❤️
I had the same symptoms, basically but, mine was more shortness of breath. I had had a cold and thought it was taking long to recover from. I went to my regular doctor for the 3rd time for this "cold" and he said he was running an EKG. It showed abnormality so he sent me to a cardiologist. The cardiologist went through my wrist and said if he could stint it he would then. He couldn't stint it so set me up with a surgeon. Had to crack me open. He did a triple bypass and that will be 2 years this November. I was 56 when this took place. I did not have a heart attack but he said it's a miracle I didn't. I said all of that to say this, it doesn't matter the age but please be aware of these symptoms mentioned. It doesn't necessarily knock you on your tail with pain. It also feels so much like indigestion. I'm so glad you are ok! Thank God you were taking vitamin E! Best wishes ♥️♥️
Sandra, isn’t modern medicine amazing. I’m not one who runs to the doctor, but I tell ya , when you need them, thank God they’re there! Glad you’re doing so well
Sandra, thank you so much for making this video and I'm so happy you are now doing well. I have high cholesterol also and my doctor has been telling me to begin a statin drug which I am just plain scared of because of all the side effects you hear about. I'm wondering if you're taking a statin drug now and how are you doing with it? Maybe I should reconsider it after hearing your story.
Yes so glad to hear you’re OK! Never ignore symptoms. Yes some supplements can be dangerous. You have given us all food for thought and I have an upcoming appointment with a new cardiologist. This really makes a person think. My cardiologist previously told me that sometimes the first symptom of heart disease is SCA and I have a brother who passed away instantly from that at the age of 49. That was 27 years ago God rest his soul. Take care of yourself!
I feel you saved my 73 year old mothers life today because I follow you and watched this video a few months ago. Yesterday she was having chest pain, heaviness in chest , light head, and nausea. She thought the heat in Florida maybe had her dehydrated or something she ate. Indigestion. Then it progressed last night to shoulder pain, and and some back pain, and then jaw pain started. This morning I told my dad let’s take her to ER think it could be a heart attack. She called her primary doctor and she told her put a pain patch on. It’s your arthritis. NOPE! Sure enough she was having a heart attack, she was clogged 100% in the one artery, and 80% in two others. Today they did emergency surgery via groin unclogged the one that was 100% put two stents, and Monday they are going to unclog the other two that are 80%. She is stable in ICU. They flew her out of emergency room, gave her 5 aspirins to chew, and she also said the room was full of people with lots of commotion. Luckily she was saved and cardiologist said if she would have waited one more day she could have dropped dead. She also has the card now. I just want you to know your videos do make a difference! ❤ thank you for sharing, this video saved my mom today. Kept thinking about your symptoms. And my insistence made her go in. I even told her about you and your story when she came out of procedure. Thank you
Oh my goodness I don’t know what to say. I’m so glad your mother is all right. That is the very reason I made that video. I was hoping that my symptoms might help somebody else because I didn’t realize myself what was going on. God bless bless your mother with a speedy recovery.💕💕
@@jazzyflorida3757 Make sure they run a Cat Scan on her Carotid Arteries, when the heart valves have plaque the Carotid may very well be full of plaque that can cause a stroke.
So glad you’re doing well! Stay on top of your health. The older we get the more important it is to get to ER if something isn’t right. Thank goodness it wasn’t worse! Stay safe & many blessings.
Sandra, fish oil is a blood thinner. I think I remember you saying you are taking this. Whenever I have surgery the Dr tells me to stop taking the fish oil for several days before the surgery. Glad you are doing well…
Sandra, praise God that you are OK! I am going to be 60 this year and have had high cholesterol for a long time and have had side effects from stations and will not takes them. Thank you for sharing your experience! I am just so happy that all went well. God bless you and Bill! 💖
Glad you are ok, so scary ! So sorry you went through that. but you waited way too long! Tomorrow never comes for some that ignore the signs. You need to promise yourself not to ignore your body. Heart attack is the number one killer of women. American Heart Association , thanks for sharing the symptoms. ❤
I am so glad you are ok. Thank you for sharing. I had a calcium score cat scan and my number came back high. The cardiologist put me on an aspirin a day. I have a follow up visit Tuesday. Another problem people don't think about is their carotid arteries. This is what caused my late husband's stroke, then a bad fall & bleeding on the brain. Doctors do not check this. I go once a year to a Life screening & get tested. Get this checked everyone.
Bless you! You're so shapely and pretty and young looking at your age! Way better than me in my 60s. You are blessed! Amen! Goes to show anyone can have a heart attack at any age. So happy you survived!
Thank God your doing better. I had one last year I had pain in my shoulder and back and some in my chest. They said you had a heart attack rushed me to surgery put a stent in my heart. I thank God I'm here all glory to him... God bless you
Praise the good Lord, that you’re OK! I am surprised they didn’t put you on cholesterol medicine a long time ago 😮And thank you for letting us know the signs. I know heart attacks are different for women then they are for men..I will put you on my prayer list starting tomorrow.❤.. and see how God lined things up? Praise God that he put you and Bill in each others life 🙏there are no coincidence as Christians we know that. Oh good I am glad you’re taking the CoQ10.
That’s amazing. They put stents in your heart through your wrist! Wow! Thank you for sharing your experience. I’m going to refill my vitamin box! And take them! Glad to see your smiling! And feeling better! Take care ~
PTL you’re alright. What a blessing to have Bill in your life! What was your triglycerides number? I was told the number should be low as plaque clogs arteries causing strokes. 🤷♀️🙋♀️☕️❤️🙏🇺🇸
The Lord was watching over you. We women always think its heartburn or something else. We need to act on any symptoms right away. God Bless you and stay well.
Hi Sandra I'm a retired Coronary care nurse of 44 years. The procedure you had was a cardiac catheterization which is actually not surgery, but where a special catheter is placed in the groin, wrist or axilla. It is threaded into the coronary arteries whereby a stent can be placed or plaque cleared from within an artery. Patient's are given conscious sedation whereby they are sleepy but able to be aroused to answer questions during the procedure. The blood tests were cardiac enzymes such as CPK/Troponins. These are released into the bloodstream when cardiac muscle is damaged. There also will be EKG changes seen. You are right about the fact that women present differently than men and will attribute their discomfort to heartburn or just being tired. More women die of heart attacks than women. I'm so glad you are alright, but now hopefully you won't delay going to the E.R. if it ever happens again. There is an expression in cardiology which is, time is muscle. Meaning the longer you delay the more damage will occur and possible death. Take care.
"More women die of heart attacks than women"?
Praise God. I went to the ER with stomach pain and had stage 4 colon cancer last year. I kept putting it off saying it was ibs. But what struck me was you saying the emergency room was empty. I had the same weird experience. I went at 9:30 in the morning and everyone tells me that is a miracle by itself. So God worked in both our lives! I also felt a peace when they took me back for two different surgeries. I’m still here and in remission. God takes care of us. 🙏
Are you on meds? Statins
Praise God for your remission! It's stories like yours and Sandra's that nudge us to pay attention to even the slightest irregularities in our health. Thank you for sharing.
I’m so happy you are doing well now and did not have to have open heart surgery. My hubby had 2 stents put in several years ago and is doing great! I had a triple by-pass 15 years ago, and now have a pace maker. Every day is a gift! 😊
Praise God you are in remission.
Denise, I'm so glad to hear that you're in remission. Last summer, I went to the ER with right-side abdominal pain. The appendix tip was a little swollen but the appendix didn't look inflamed. I was given the choice between an immediate appendectomy (by this time it was early the next morning) and go home the same day or be hospitalized for a few days in a watch-and-see effort. Because I'm immunocompromised, I wanted out of the hospital and chose the immediate surgery. It turned out that I had appendiceal cancer. Fortunately, the appendix had not ruptured, at which point I would have joined you with a stage 4 diagnosis, and margins were clear. I wish you oncologists who are knowledgeable and treatments that result in continued remission.
Sandra, your video title startled me. I've been watching your channel for a while now. You see, I went down to Texas over the holidays to visit my son and his family. It was the second week while I was visiting that I experienced a terrible pain in all of my teeth - both top and bottoms of teeth. It was a pain like none other I've ever experienced. I immediately took a couple of Tylenol and it eventually stopped. Over the next 2-3 days I would experience this same awful pain in my teeth again. Taking Tylenol each time. The pain didn't last long. I flew back home a week later and had a pre-scheduled doctor's appt for something else. During this appointment my Dr. was asking lots of questions for a test I was going to have coming up. Some of my answers to her questions determined right then to give me an EKG in her office. The results of the EKG showed I had some sort of incident. She wouldn't say what tho. I was scheduled with a numbers of tests... Stress Test w/dye, etc. Well, I had a silent heart attack and didn't know it. Fortunately, I didn't have to have any stents. Put me on a blood thinner, 81mg aspirin. My cholesetrol has been high for years (I'm 73). The first statin I ever took...Lipitor ruined my leg muscles. I quit that statin quickly, but have suffered leg pain daily since. Sorry this is so long, but just want to say...do your due diligence and research before starting/staying on a statin long term. Read statin forums of what patients have said about their own statin injuries. Just saying. I'm so glad tho to hear you came through your ordeal successfully. And, yes...women's symptoms are so much different than men's. Many women are in denial when we suffer these unusual pains. Now I know...
Sandra, your video just popped up while scrolling and I would like to say that my Mom passed at 72
she was at a door knocking and suddenly she told her friend I don't feel well. Within 5 min she was gone. It was like a light switch that just flipped off. I'm so glad you survived 🤗♥️
Wow! That could have happened to me. I’m so sorry to hear that about your Mother.🙏🌺💕❤️
@@Sandrabrownhappinesspast60 I know and I'm glad it didn't and thank you 😊🤗💖
Oh goodness Sandra, I am so glad you are okay. I am a RN and you are so right that women present with different symptoms than men do. Thank you so much for sharing this and I hope all of your viewers pay attention and if they ever experience any of these types of symptoms that they will seek help right away! Better safe than sorry. Thank you for sharing!!♥🙏
Sandra, I’m so glad you are doing well after such an unexpected and scary experience. For you to care enough about your subscribers to share and make aware of heart attack symptoms in women you very well may have saved a life. Your story is a perfect reminder to seek medical attention whenever something just doesn’t feel right. Bless you! ❤
Wow! I'm so happy you made it. I want you to live a long happy life. God bless you.
Uncle Bill told me you would be sharing your story. ❤ How scary for the both of you that you had to go through this. Im so glad you are doing ok and sending many blessings and prayers for the best recovery. Love, Kelly
Matt and I cant wait to meet you in person one day. I know my uncle loves you very much and so happy you found eachother. 🙏❤ It was a blessing you crossed paths.
Thank you so much Kelly! I can’t wait to meet both of you!!🥰💕
O MY Sandra, THANK YOU BUNCHES!...FOR YOUR STORY.. GOD BLESS YOU..YOUR SO SWEET, TAKE CARE FOR BILL...🙏❤
Sandra , I have been following you since my precious Gene passed in April of last year, I found you about a month later. Your Faith in our Lord is why you went into an empty ER. The closer we become to Jesus in our walk, I find he seems to show us just how mighty he is..I admire how you share your Faith and Jesus on social media!! Praise Jesus you are ok.. ..I love your light heartedness, you always bring a smile to my face..so happy for you, that you found another Love. Take care and God Bless ...Warmly, Roberta
Sandra, what a blessing that you have Bill. You may not have called the doctor or gone to ER if you didn’t have him pleading for you to go. Amazing that stints can be done through the wrist now. So glad you didn’t have to have open heart surgery. You look great. Love the way you did your hair today. Like the Subscribe and Thumbs Up pillows behind you! Take care of yourself. We need you on utube spreading the gospel. 🙏🏻 One of your sisters in Christ.
Sandra, I’m so glad to hear you’re doing so well after the heart attack. Thank you for sharing your experience as it will help other women. My husband died of a massive heart attack at home in July 2019, and I am concerned about living alone and having a similar experience. I didn’t know stints could be inserted through the wrist, and I’m glad they were able to do that in your case. You are so blessed considering the blockage could have been so much more dangerous. Blessings to you for a long and healthy life.
I am so happy you are ok.
Take a photo of your card with the heart information in your phone, in case you forget the card. Bless you 🙏🏼☺️🇦🇺🍷🐨❤️
I am so surprised. This goes to show that it doesn’t matter how well we take care of ourselves we are bodies operate in secret. It’s truly a blessing for you and Bill that this was able to be repaired. High cholesterol is very serious. I’m sure your sharing will prompt many to pay closer attention to things that seen little. Thank you and blessings,❤
Sandra, I can't believe you had surgery two days ago! Praise God they could go through your wrist. Thank you for describing your symptoms and things to be aware of. You are such a beautiful woman and the love of the Lord shines through you. God bless you and Bill.🙏
Thank you so much Amanda!!😇❤💖😊💞
I AM so glad you are doing well. Continue eating healthy and exercise to keep your heart healthy. I pray you continue feeling great......many blessings dear friend..................much love...MINDY
Sandra, you are such an inspiring person 2 listen to!🌹Thank God you are on the mend. Bill counseled you 2go2 the ER and it was the best decision. They were able to avert further trouble. I hope that in due time you will be able to wean urself from these meds and continue taking the natural supplements. There are ways to lower cholesterol through proper nutrition. You are here and I'm so glad! ❤️
Phew!!! BIG HUGS! Glad you still pushing 40! 😉 I'm so glad Millie still has a mom!! I bet Bill is happy you are home now! Hang in there you three!! 🌻
Oh Sandra, I am so thankful you are ok!!! I worked as a nurse just shy of 25 years and women most of the time do show different signs but, women also have denial thinking we can “fix it” ourselves!! I’m so thankful you had Mr Bill and you’re back home!! Take it easy!!!❤❤
So glad to hear you are doing fine after having a heart attack. Praying for long and healthy lives for both you and Bill. You are such a blessing sharing your experiences and your faith with your programs.
You are one lucky (blessed) lady! In 2016, I was dx: with breast cancer 3/31. I had checkup due to HBP w/cardiologist 4/21/16…I went in saying I don’t know why I’m here as I now have to deal with BC. But I’ve been to ER 4 times w/both arms aching so bad…each time they’d do couple blood tests and tell me indigestion take Tums. When the cardiologist heard this, she said we need to do a heart cath right away! 4/22/2016, I had the cath. I went thru what you describe but I felt like I remembered it all. Doc ran up thru my wrist, said I had 95% blockage in right coronary artery!!! He said it’s called the widowmaker!! A bare metal stent was placed . 6/1/16, I had a lumpectomy. Stage I BC. Got thru 24 rounds of radiation.
8 yrs later, I’m fine! No more arm pain!! Both arms!!! I’d sit down and chew Tums! I’m so fortunate I didn’t die. Yes we women present differently w/heart problems. Both my parents keeled over dead …heart attack! Both sides of my family history died of heart issues. I too am a Christian and believe the Lord just wasn’t ready to take me! Im 75
April 3!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
God bless you too! So relieved you are back home and well!
Thank you Sandra for sharing. I'm so glad your home and doing well. I think your experience will help women who are watching this. I know I learned from it. So glad you're here to tell your story.
Oh Sandra! Praise God for you. Thank you Father for sparing her precious life. 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 Thank you for filling us in.I had a cerebral stroke 4 yrs ago. But when it started I went to the ER. They treated me for VERTIGO!!!Sent me home, symptoms came back 2 months later. ( Thought ‘the VERTIGO MUST BE BACK’😆Nothing! It was a full blown stroke.😢And praises to our King, I’m still here.🤗🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Wow Sandra I'm am so grateful you're doing better. My heart sunk when I heard you say "heart attack!" I couldn't believe I was hearing you correctly!
Please, please take care of yourself.🙏❤️
I am so glad you have Bill, what a blessing that is.
This gives me pause to re-evaluate my stress levels. Thanks to you you brought this to the for front of my mind to be more aware of my own heart. I'm so grateful that you shared this with us.
I always love your videos and the scripture you read at the end.
God bless the both of You & Millie ~ 💞🌺💞
🙏💖🙏💖🙏 🐾🙏🐾🙏
Much Love to you ~
Elle, thank you Sweetheart, such a lovely comment!!😇❤💖🙏😊💞
Oh, Sandra! I’m so glad you caught it in time and had the surgery! You are a precious lady. You look great!
When my father had his heart attack in 1978 he had complained of an upset stomach and jaws hurting. Unfortunately, he passed away that night in the hospital. He was only 57.
God bless you and Bill! I was thinking of you both a few days ago and how you met and are building a sweet life together. I am missing that in my life.
I will be praying for you both. ❤️
Dana, 57 is so young. Thank you for sharing. I will be praying for you that someone special will come into your life. God may send you a best friend that fills that void or a wonderful new love. He knows what you need.
@@Sheila-Ann thank you! 🙂❤️
I’m so glad your okay Sandra. So kind of you to remind women that our symptoms are different. I had a heart attack a few years back and just had some tightness in my chest, no pain and felt light headed. I don’t take any chances now. Thank you Sandra, take care and God bless❤️
I'm so glad you're okay. Thank goodness Bill nudged you into calling the doctor in the first place. Stay well and take care of yourselves. 🙏💞
GOD BLESS & PROTECT YOU SANDRA & BILL ❤️ ✝️ 🇺🇸 PSALMS 23 & 91 ❤️ ✝️ I LISTEN TO THE READING OF PSALMS KJV ON TH-cam ON MY PHONE EVERY NIGHT WHEN I GO TO BED
I just found your channel for the first time with this video. I just wanted to tell you not to let the heart attack make you feel old because I had one at 33!! I was fit and in shape and had two little kids, but I was stressed and abused in my marriage, and sure enough full blown heart attack and a complication that led to a near death experience. I am 55 now and struggling somewhat with the next chapter of my life and really wanting to find some inspiration because I don't have a mother to be a role model. I had grandmothers but they've been gone for a long time. So, I was looking for older inspiration and there you were!! So happy to find your channel.
I would be more then happy to be that Mother or Grandmother to you, I'm so very sorry for what you had to go through in your marriage💞❤💔
you prove by your posts living life everyday is key, you moved forward with a new life, and suddenly a happening,
proves standing still isnt the answer, thanks for the lesson, teach us more, lol
I appreciate that!😇❤💖🙏😊💞
Wow Wow Wow
What A Shocker!!!!!
I saw the title of the video BUT I wasn't expecting it to be for real. I thought you were just putting a spin on the title.
Mannnn, I'm so glad you are still on planet earth even tho like you said, you knew if you weren't, you would be in your Heavenly Home, Praise God.
Well Sandra, it wasn't your time. Bill need you ❤️
I’m so sorry to hear about your heart attack, but I’m also so glad you did ok ❤. Glad you had Bill and the Lord with you 🙏💕. God bless you and Bill. Prayers for you both 🙏❤️. HUGS!!
I'm so thankful you took Bill's advice and went to get your pain checked out. I'm happy you are doing so well now. Take care and God bless you.
Thank God you are alright... Thank you for telling your story.
Who in the world would think of you having a heart attack. You're fit and healthy looking. Praise for keeping you as unto him safe thank God
oh my goodness!!! So glad you are doing well!!! Prayers for continued recovery, and thank you for explaining what happened to you.
Your hair color is gorgeous!
Thank you Carole!!💕❤️😊
Never ignore your body. If something feels wrong it usually is. I had a major heart attack at 37 years old. Maybe a few smaller ones. I ignored it for a week or 2 because I thought I hurt my back
So glad ur doing well ! My Denny had a heart attack Sunday night ! Same thing ! One minute he was helping me with dinner, and then he went to sit on the chair in the living room, and he said his throat hurt, and his left arm felt numb, and he broke out in a sweat within like one minute from the time I left him in the kitchen to the time he sat in the chair no symptoms before that !! I called 911 they came did all his vitals he was good ! He wasn't having a heart attack then but they still wanted to take him to the hospital for observation, he did not wanna go, but we made him. So thank goodness !! on the way to the hospital we got stuck by a huge long train, and while we were waiting on the train, he had a heart attack in the ambulance so needless to say we were all panicky. Finally, the train went by and They rushed him to the hospital within half an hour he was in the cath lab having surgery ! He had 99% blockage in one artery 75% blockage in the other artery had two stents put in. He has two more blockages, but they can't do those now. He will
Go back in a couple weeks for that ! Yes so out of the blue, but no tight chest pain just sweats and his arm was going a little numb but not pain like you would think you hear. He was in the hospital 4 days and he just came home yesterday. He's doing well but it's pretty scary that it can come on that fast. Now I just have to figure out how to cook for him with heart friendly meals. Glad you're OK. You never know ! God had had our backs too because that's the third time I almost lost my Denny. ❤ hugs Barb ❤
Wow Barb, we need to keep our hearts right before God because we never know when God may call us home. I’m so glad he’s going to be all right. My new meds are causing my blood pressure to drop to low and making me feel woozy.God bless you both!
I’m so glad you are okay! Thank you for this enlightening video. I’ve always heard that women’s cardiac symptoms are much different than men’s. You look amazing! You are a joy! - Belinda
SANDRA, oh my gracious!! I can't believe this, because you are so on top of your health and walking also! Thank God, you are here tonight with us, I have tears running right now😭❤️. Thank goodness you have Bill now!!! Well, I went in and did a cholesterol test, Ecko Cardigram and a Calcium test. Well, they were doing my heart test and she said, we have to do a contrast in your vein. Lord, I know my BP went very high!! She blew my vein in my left wrist, hurt like----, finally she got in the crease of my arm, I was praying and I had 2 techs praying out loud!!! Can't use my right arm ever, NO. Next test was a breeze. So in the end, said heart was good, BUT, my heart is beating at only 85%. Said BP was high so they put me on Ramipril and Metoprolol ER. I never had HBP ever, so I keep a record for 2 weeks now on my Heart Rate and BP. I do need to lose some weight, so maybe this is where the HBP comes in?? It was all just so unexpected!!! Then send to Nashville, Tn. Only said this to let others know, please watch your HEALTH LADIES. Sandra, you look as gorgeous as ever, lord take care of you. I never heard of going thru wrist, so GLAD you told us this. I am here for you if I can be of any help, please know this.(BILL) LOVE YOUR SMILE LADY❤️ PRAYERS for you always🙏❤️
Wow Susan, you went through a lot!🙏🌹🌺
Oh my , that sounds so scary🥰I’m glad your ok🥰🙏
God Bless you too. I had severe pain in my side and my left shoulder in 2019. So bad that my husband took me to the ER. My spleen was causing the pain, possibly due to a blood clot. My late parents had had heart attacks and strokes, so that made me a high risk. Doctors ordered EKG, ultra sound of heart and stress test on treadmill. Found out I’d had a mild heart attack couple of weeks earlier when I thought I had indigestion. Women present differently than men. They put 2 stents in my heart thru the wrist. Spent 4 nights in the Hospital and was so happy to get back home to get some real sleep. And to shower. My husband stayed with me throughout, he is my gift from God. Spleen sorted itself out. Hemotologist had me take b-12 and prescription iron and Vitamin C. Still see him every six months and cardiologist yearly now. Cardiologist at Hospital retired so I guess I was his Swan Song?? LOL. So glad you too got the help you needed. We women are hard to diagnose for Heart Attacks. God works in mysterious ways doesn’t he?
Theresa, so glad your doing better now, God bless you with good health!!💞🙏❤☘💚😇
Wow, so glad you are okay!! Looking at you in this video I could never guess that a few days ago you had a heart attack. Thank God Bill is with you and pushed you to go. I'm the same way about going to the hospital.
Oh my goodness !
We all are so thankful for ER personnel and Bill.
My hubby has had 3 bypass AKA Cabg, one stent, carotid clean out, 3 vascular surgeries ending with 5 stents in legs.
We all should hug ER.
Getting older isn't a piece of cake, is it.
Please be well.
My husband, age 67, had a significant stroke while cooking Christmas dinner. His speech center is affected with no paralysis. He is very healthy. Still hunting, goes to YMCA 3 times a week. High cholesterol and blood pressure, handled with meds. Aphasia and damaged vocal cords due to surgery on carotid a few days later. I was a Paramedic for years but he never told me he was having the worst headache ever for 2 days. Rushed to ER with CT scan they talked to me in the hall. Didn't want him to know right away. He is quiet now, not necessarily a bad thing. Stay well.
Good bless you Sandra take it easy.
Oh Sandra, I’m so very happy that you are alright now. I hate that you had to go through this ordeal. God was with you. Sandra, thank you for being so caring, loving, and for being so open with us. You have no idea how you’ve helped me and others by telling this story and by going into detail with it also. Sandra, if it’s not asking too much, please share with us later how you’re doing with the new medicine you’re on now (I’m assuming it’s a statin) - I’ve had high cholesterol for years and my doctor keeps trying to put me on cholesterol lowering medicine, but I keep refusing, because I’m already on thyroid medicine and a blood pressure medicine (I react badly to most medicines for some reason). Your story is making me reconsider. Love to you, Sandra.
Linda Davis...I'm in the same boat. I refused the statins and am trying supplements, eating mostly whole foods, and doing intermittent fasting. And, getting more exercise! I also follow Dr Pradip Jamnadas on TH-cam. You might want to take a look. Keep hoping and stay well.
@@gkava2349 - Thank you so much. I will check Dr. Jamnadas out.
Ladies, do not be afraid of statins…..they could save your life by keeping all that cholesterol out of your heart. I was thin, watched my weight, had low blood pressure and very low cholesterol. Never sick either so I didn’t go for a physical for 7 years. Even though my health was the same, I finally went for a physical and my cholesterol was 300. In my case it is genetic because the same thing happened to my mother and brother, both very health conscious. For many years I have been on 10 mgs. of Simvastatin which I take at bedtime. I get tested each year and my cholesterol is constantly just below 200. I’ve never felt a side effect, I’m 75 and I still do all the hedge trimming, gardening and housework. I finally made myself hire someone to remove the snow even though I was shoveling my long, steep driveway up until two years ago. That was just plain stupid because nothing causes heart attacks like shoveling and throwing snow. Please re-think taking a statin. My father died at 64 from a heart attack while going up and down stairs installing wiring for a stereo at my brother’s house. My very lonely mom lived another 22 years.
OMGoodness Sandy, what a scare that must of been.. Thank goodness you had Bill by your side what a true God send he has been.... Heart problems run in my family and I'm always watching for signs, thank you for you insight. You look great like nothing even happened.
We all love Bill. Thank you for taking good care of our Sandra
Sandra, so glad your alright. Thank you for sharing your story to help other women. Heart attacks can be tricky in women. Your such a sweet lady.
So glad you are ok. Isn't it wonderful as a Christian that we don't worry about dying - we know where we are going - I have no fear. Thank you for sharing your symptoms - it might help someone else. God bless - take care.
I'm so thankful that you are ok, Sandra! Praise God! I appreciate you sharing your symptoms so other women know what to look for. I am a new subscriber and have been enjoying your videos. You have such a calm, sweet spirit and look wonderful...I was amazed that you are 80! A friend lost her husband about a month ago so I shared your 1st video with her with the hope that she will find some solace and realize she is not alone. Thanks for sharing scripture on your channel....it's such an encouragement! Hugs to you!
Oh my goodness, what a week you've had! But God had your back and you're back to share this important part of your life story with us. Thanks, Sandra. And I'm so happy you look and feel so well. Here's to many more years of happiness in your new married life in Tennessee 🥰😇
Oh dear, I was so upset to see this.....Thank God you are alright....I am sending you prayers and more prayers....love you my friend...!!!
Now Susan I have to admit I was looking for a response from you! LOL!Thank you for your prayers Sweetheart. I will be doing therapy. Right now my new meds are dropping my blood pressure to low and making me woozy sometimes. Once they are adjusted I’ll be fine!❤️🥰💕
@@Sandrabrownhappinesspast60 I was mighty upset....I know sometimes these things can be a blessing....we get on the right meds and have the stents put in and it gives us another 50 years of decorating! You ignored your pain as to not make a fuss...I do that too....last fall at the last minute I went to the ER and it was a life savor. Love and hugs to you my Sista so far away!!! ( And Bill too... he's
cute nurse...oh boy...)
Thank God you are well now💚💚💚💚💚💚
Please take your time to process all this. I had a heart attack at 47 while working in a medical clinic. Same symptoms. Really bad burning in my throat and heartburn. I worked my whole shift and finally at 5:00 pm I went downstairs to Urgent care. Next thing I am being rushed by ambulance to the Hospital. The whole time I'm thinking, I'm not in that much pain, can't be a heart attack. I was super active, healthy non smoker, low cholesterol. Ladies, she is right. Listen to those symptoms and take it seriously. I'm 60 now and feeling wonderful. Bless you dear Sandra. It will hit you in a couple of weeks what you went through. Take the time you need to heal mentally. We love you and are keeping you in our prayers. You are a warrior!
Wow Kelly, that was a strange experience you had, we women do not like to make a big thing out of something! It will pass!! LOL!❤😇🙏💞😊☘💚
Sandra, I’m 74 just ran upon you tonight..you are precious ❤️ Heart attacks are scary things
Thank you Anna, I’m so glad you ran across me!!!❤️🥰♥️🙏💕
Praise God for answered prayer! I've never seen anyone look so radiant as you after surgery you look absolutely beautiful. I love your makeup that lipstick is a great color and your earrings are to-die-for! Keep up the good work cuz you look strong and fit praise God!
Sandra, you are so sweet & down to earth & I’m so happy to hear JESUS saved you (again)!
Praise God!!!
He must have other plans for me!!💖😊❤😇💞
@@Sandrabrownhappinesspast60 I agree, and hope and pray one of those plans includes reaching my sister who loves to watch your videos, being a recent widower herself ... but she doesn't know the Lord, so I thank you for openly sharing your faith ❤🔥💥👋🙏🕊🛡⚔✨
@@janettemcgregor5712 I’m going to pray for her right now!🥰💕😇🌺🙏
My cholestrial was almost 300 and I have been on a statin pill for several years. My blood work last month showed it down under 100. I hate taking a statin drug, but it does work. Also, those hospitals are also teaching other doctors, so maybe so many people there in surgery could have been students. Just another thought. You looked amazing in your video. You take such good care of yourself, and a bump in the road very well showed that. Keep smiling and God Bless.
No one should strive to have cholesterol under 100 ! ! That can be bad.
Your body needs some cholesterol. Take care.🧡
That was just the bad one. The good one is 52. So together it is about 150. Doc says that is great. Thanks
Thank you for sharing your symptoms as I t can save other women’s lives. Women’s pain threshold is higher than mens since God made us to bear children. God bless you! ❤
To God Be The Glory! He was really looking after you! Praise God you are okay.
Patty thank you so much!!❤💞💖🙏
I’m sorry you went through this and I’m keeping you in my daily prayers . Your a sweetheart and I hate seeing you going through this . But I know Jesus is keeping you well. God bless !
Oh my goodness thank the lord you are okay take it easy I know Bill will be watching you very carefully
Thank God you went to the ER. Glad they fixed the problem. God Bless you❤
Yes! Thank you!❤
Oh my Sandra ❤️ bless you , I hope if you ever feel that kind of pain again,you don’t put it off again. I understand we women and even men think it’s just indigestion ,but always go to the doctor or ER when symptoms like that happen, My husband survived a widow maker,Thank God🙏🏻
He had been hurting ,sweating, and was having shortness of breath for about two weeks ,then it got way worse all of the sudden, he still thought it was just indigestion or angina ,when it was a heart attack💔 Thank God I talked him into going to the hospital 🙏🏻when I took him, they did a ekg, it came back normal,but the doctor said let’s do a blood test,about twenty minutes later they came back and said he was having a heart attack😳😫
They had to take him to a larger hospital ,by the time he got to the larger hospital he had a Major heart attack on the way.But thank you Jesus🙌🏻
He was put immediately on a heart machine, and lung machine,they did open heart surgery the next morning. One doctor told us in ICU that most men do not survive the window maker,and that he was extremely lucky he survived it. I Thank God he saved my husband🙌🏻
My youngest brother died last Thursday of diabetes complications. My heart is sad💔
Texas Lady🤗

Sandra! ❤️. God has surely protected you through all of this! Father, to you be all GLORY!!! Praise you Lord!! So thankful you are okay…more than okay!!! May you and Bill be able to spend many healthy, happy years together!! Sending hugs from Kansas!❤️
I had the same symptoms, basically but, mine was more shortness of breath. I had had a cold and thought it was taking long to recover from. I went to my regular doctor for the 3rd time for this "cold" and he said he was running an EKG. It showed abnormality so he sent me to a cardiologist. The cardiologist went through my wrist and said if he could stint it he would then. He couldn't stint it so set me up with a surgeon. Had to crack me open. He did a triple bypass and that will be 2 years this November. I was 56 when this took place. I did not have a heart attack but he said it's a miracle I didn't. I said all of that to say this, it doesn't matter the age but please be aware of these symptoms mentioned. It doesn't necessarily knock you on your tail with pain. It also feels so much like indigestion. I'm so glad you are ok! Thank God you were taking vitamin E! Best wishes ♥️♥️
I’m so happy you are doing well. I’m glad Bill was there to support you.
Sandra, isn’t modern medicine amazing. I’m not one who runs to the doctor, but I tell ya , when you need them, thank God they’re there! Glad you’re doing so well
Praise God that He brought you through this. And, thankful that Bill encouraged you to get it checked out. God is so awesome!❤
Sandra, thank you so much for making this video and I'm so happy you are now doing well. I have high cholesterol also and my doctor has been telling me to begin a statin drug which I am just plain scared of because of all the side effects you hear about. I'm wondering if you're taking a statin drug now and how are you doing with it? Maybe I should reconsider it after hearing your story.
If you take a Statin drug be sure to take CoQ10 with it, a doctor told me this!
Thank goodness you got in and had your heart taken care of. Bless you.
Yes so glad to hear you’re OK! Never ignore symptoms. Yes some supplements can be dangerous. You have given us all food for thought and I have an upcoming appointment with a new cardiologist. This really makes a person think. My cardiologist previously told me that sometimes the first symptom of heart disease is SCA and I have a brother who passed away instantly from that at the age of 49. That was 27 years ago God rest his soul. Take care of yourself!
Thank you Grace, I do hope it helps someone else!😇💞😊❤💖
Oh my goodness!!! Praise God that you got to the hospital in time, take care of you and your husband, lv your videos sweet lady
Thank you so much Jan! Yes, thank God for Mr. Bill!!💞😇🙏❤💖😊
God Bless you two!! Take care of each other that is beautiful..
My goodness.
The Lord saved you.
So thankful! 🙏
You will be alright.
Many happy years with your Dear husband and family. 😘
I feel you saved my 73 year old mothers life today because I follow you and watched this video a few months ago. Yesterday she was having chest pain, heaviness in chest , light head, and nausea. She thought the heat in Florida maybe had her dehydrated or something she ate. Indigestion. Then it progressed last night to shoulder pain, and and some back pain, and then jaw pain started. This morning I told my dad let’s take her to ER think it could be a heart attack. She called her primary doctor and she told her put a pain patch on. It’s your arthritis. NOPE!
Sure enough she was having a heart attack, she was clogged 100% in the one artery, and 80% in two others. Today they did emergency surgery via groin unclogged the one that was 100% put two stents, and Monday they are going to unclog the other two that are 80%. She is stable in ICU.
They flew her out of emergency room, gave her 5 aspirins to chew, and she also said the room was full of people with lots of commotion.
Luckily she was saved and cardiologist said if she would have waited one more day she could have dropped dead. She also has the card now. I just want you to know your videos do make a difference! ❤ thank you for sharing, this video saved my mom today. Kept thinking about your symptoms. And my insistence made her go in. I even told her about you and your story when she came out of procedure. Thank you
Oh my goodness I don’t know what to say. I’m so glad your mother is all right. That is the very reason I made that video. I was hoping that my symptoms might help somebody else because I didn’t realize myself what was going on. God bless bless your mother with a speedy recovery.💕💕
@@Sandrabrownhappinesspast60 God is amazing and I’m sure that is why he told you to share your symptoms and story. Amen 🙏🏼 bless you 💕💕
@@jazzyflorida3757 I feel blessed to have been a part in the whole picture! So many people had a hand in saving her!💕
@@jazzyflorida3757 Make sure they run a Cat Scan on her Carotid Arteries, when the heart valves have plaque the Carotid may very well be full of plaque that can cause a stroke.
@@Sandrabrownhappinesspast60 thank you, I will tell her tomorrow when i go to the hospital
So glad you’re doing well! Stay on top of your health. The older we get the more important it is to get to ER if something isn’t right. Thank goodness it wasn’t worse! Stay safe & many blessings.
Sandra, fish oil is a blood thinner. I think I remember you saying you are taking this. Whenever I have surgery the Dr tells me to stop taking the fish oil for several days before the surgery. Glad you are doing well…
Yes, I had to stop taking it!!💕❤️🐟
Sandra, praise God that you are OK! I am going to be 60 this year and have had high cholesterol for a long time and have had side effects from stations and will not takes them. Thank you for sharing your experience! I am just so happy that all went well. God bless you and Bill! 💖
Glad you are ok, so scary ! So sorry you went through that. but you waited way too long! Tomorrow never comes for some that ignore the signs. You need to promise yourself not to ignore your body. Heart attack is the number one killer of women. American Heart Association , thanks for sharing the symptoms. ❤
You are so cute when you animated a heart attack. Made me laugh so glad you're on the right track and a good word for all of us. Blessings.
Maybe we see to many movie heart attacks! Right?!!🙏💞❤💚☘😊
Glad you are ok, I'm taking circulation support, it's Cayenne, Ginger and Hawthorne, it has really helped me. God Bless
Thanks for sharing!!
I am so glad you are ok. Thank you for sharing. I had a calcium score cat scan and my number came back high. The cardiologist put me on an aspirin a day. I have a follow up visit Tuesday. Another problem people don't think about is their carotid arteries. This is what caused my late husband's stroke, then a bad fall & bleeding on the brain. Doctors do not check this. I go once a year to a Life screening & get tested. Get this checked everyone.
You act like you have more energy glad you're doing okay bless you
God Bless you and Bill 💸 ❤️
Thank you Mia!!🙏😇❤💖💞😊
Bless you! You're so shapely and pretty and young looking at your age! Way better than me in my 60s. You are blessed! Amen! Goes to show anyone can have a heart attack at any age. So happy you survived!
Thank God you are alright. Prayers for your health 🙏🙏🙏
Thank God your doing better. I had one last year I had pain in my shoulder and back and some in my chest. They said you had a heart attack rushed me to surgery put a stent in my heart. I thank God I'm here all glory to him... God bless you
Praise the good Lord, that you’re OK! I am surprised they didn’t put you on cholesterol medicine a long time ago 😮And thank you for letting us know the signs. I know heart attacks are different for women then they are for men..I will put you on my prayer list starting tomorrow.❤.. and see how God lined things up? Praise God that he put you and Bill in each others life 🙏there are no coincidence as Christians we know that. Oh good I am glad you’re taking the CoQ10.
That’s amazing. They put stents in your heart through your wrist! Wow! Thank you for sharing your experience. I’m going to refill my vitamin box! And take them! Glad to see your smiling! And feeling better! Take care ~
So glad you are doing so well... thank you for sharing symptoms, etc... helping others.. God bless you Sandra🙏
That's an ordeal! But you came through it with flying colors.
God bless you. 💖
PTL you’re alright. What a blessing to have Bill in your life! What was your triglycerides number? I was told the number should be low as plaque clogs arteries causing strokes.
🤷♀️🙋♀️☕️❤️🙏🇺🇸
I forgot, but it was high!!
DENIAL is a big symptom too! Thankful your alive and can share your story! 🙏🏻❤️
Thank God you are OK, I'm praying for you and Bill and those you Love. 😙😙😙❤️❤️❤️
