I spent last week out in the mountains, prospecting. Got home Friday night. Had chest pains early Sunday morning, and after stalling around for several hours, went to the ER.
Ended up getting two stents installed. No major heart damage. Am now in the ICU, recovering. I got lucky, and didn't have a major attack while out in the back country. When I think of the distances I walked, and the elevations I climbed, it amazes me I hd no indications of heart trouble.

Hey Jim, yes it is surprising that we "play around out there" and think mostly nothing of doing it just that we want to so we do it! Glad that all has gone well for you and like Clay indicated there are more times coming for you out there!.................63bkpkr

Glad you are on the road to recovery Jim. Your story is one of many across the nation and the outcome was good. Many of us here may be in the same situation one day. I wonder how many of us hard headed miners don't bother with a check up on a yearly basis just to make sure. We check our tires and make sure the vehicle we are taking out to the outback is up to snuff to make sure we get there and back safely. Keep us up on how you are doing and hope for a speedy recovery for you.

I’m glad you listened to yourself and went to the ER. It probably saved your life.

Get better soon, thankfully it didn't happen out in the woods,
I've had a few of my roommates that didn't heed warning signs,
If you are having problems that aren't normal get them checked out, Please...
