Did I have a heart attack?
Question:
So I had asleep in my van for half an hour and when I woke up I had an horrendous head ache. What I've been fine since but my wife is worried.
Answers:
There have been medical cases of people having mild heart attacks and not knowing it. It is called a silent heart attack. These are very rare but there is medical documentation that they did occur. The heart attack was discovered with medical tests. That being said, there are many different symptoms of a heart attack and they can vary from person to person but I do not believe that you had a silent heart attack. From what you have explained and especially because you described having numbness to one side, difficulty speaking or slurred speech as well as a horrendous headache after the incident, it sounds like it could be one of a couple of things. .
The first and most worrisome is that you could have had a mini stroke or a full blown stroke, although the later is usually associated with paralysis to one side for an unspecified length of time. Mini strokes can be a precursor to a full blown stroke (or major stroke). You should have told someone what was happening immediately or if no one was around you, yourself should have called 911, immediately. If this happens to you again do not hesitate to call for an ambulance. Prompt medical attention is extremely important inorder to a) save your life and b) make sure that any problems or complications are treated immediately so that you suffer the least long term injuries as possible. Prompt medical attention is a must to make sure that you suffer no long term debilitating brain injury.
Secondly it could have been heat exhaustion or worse heat stroke. Heat stroke requires prompt medical attention and without it could lead to death.
You need to set up an appointment with your family physician sooner rather than later. You need to get in to see him today. Do not put this off. I can not stress that enough. He will prescribe tests that you need to have done and he will probably refer you to a Neurologist.
Remember, mini strokes can be a precursor to a full blown STROKE. A stroke can kill you or leave you disabled for life. With prompt medical attention, you can be prescribed medications and avoid the complications of a stroke. Strokes and mini strokes kill parts of your brain. Act now it could save your life.Strokes can occure at any age. Take them seriously because they can seriously take your life.
The new medications that are used to combat the devistation of strokes are very promising but ONLY if they are administered in the appropriate time frame.
Many people do not want to call an ambulance because they do not want to be embarrassed if nothing turns out to be wrong or they are on a fixed budget. However, what you are doing is gambling with your life and gambling should be reserved for a Las Vegas casino, not your most precious commodity, YOU.
** A toast to you and your lovely bride. Congratulations on your wedding on July 15th (I believe I am correct on the date). May you have a long, loving and fruitful marriage. May your troubles be few and your happiness be plenty.**
If you feel these symptoms again, get to the E.R. immediately if you won't do it for yourself, do it for your wife and your future children.
