Guest guest Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 You are right Karine, when I was in the hospital, I doubted that I had a heart attack because my body from my neck to my fingertips hurt and I asked them how they knew, since I didn't have typical symptoms. They said enzymes don't lie. Each organ gives off distress signals and they are all different, so if you are having a pancreatic attack, it will not feel like a heart attack and the enzymes will be different. I had no blockages and never had had high cholesterol, so I still believe to this day that it was Vioxx. When my doctor saw me for my next visit, he said " Stop taking Vioxx, it causes strokes and heart attacks. " I said, " Too late I already had a stroke. " Next week I had the heart attack. What made me go to the hospital is I lost my vision. I called the opthamologist and he urged me to go to the hospital. It was like pulling a curtain down and my vision came back the same way. To this day, I don't know what caused it. Tonight I had a blind spot in my line of vision. I waited for a while and it appeared to go back to normal. I guess its time so see my opthhmologist again.
