I had a terrible scare on Tuesday. I rushed the love of my life and best friend to the emergency room. She was having severe chest pressure and pain. She was sent up to the Heart center where the surgeon (after multiple tests) told me she was having a heart attack and will be treated immediately with a Cardio Cath and was prepared to install one possibly 2 stints.
When he came to see me he told me she did not technically have a heart attack.
He said she had what was commonly called "broken heart syndrome" She has Takotsubo . It was discovered in Japan in 1991 and is not common.He assured me that after 4 weeks she would be on her way to a complete recovery.
I was never so scared in all my life. My wife is only 63 and before this in very good health. You never know what is in store for you so listen to your body when it is trying to tell you ,you are in trouble and get to the hospital immediately. The Dr. told me time is very important.
She is doing very good today and she will recover I am sure. Prayers do work.
