Heart Attack Symptoms
You Should Not Ignore.

I had early heart attack symptoms and lived to tell the story. Some people aren't so lucky.

For 30% of the 1.2 million heart attack victims each year the first sign of a heart problems is sudden death. Half of these unexpected events occur in women.

My name is Gene Millen, your heart health coach and the owner of this website with my wife Bernie.

My early heart attack symptoms consisted of what I would describe as a "tingling" in my chest. It only showed up occasionally and I attributed it to "caffeine overload."

On the advice of my family physician I went in for what was described as a routine treadmill test.

After getting wired up and walking for less than two minutes (It seemed like an eternity.) my heart was pounding in my chest and my breath was coming in short, labored gasps.  

Thankfully the technician stopped the instrument of torture and I was escorted to a chair for a welcome rest.

As my pulse returned to normal my brain played a flashback of my exercise motto. "If I get the desire to exercise I'll lie down until it goes away."

I was jarred back to reality by a pleasant nurse who interrupted my daydreaming to announce authoritatively, "The cardiologist will see you now." Click here for the rest of Gene's story.

I want to help you and my other readers learn exactly what causes heart attacks and strokes and how we can keep them at bay without taking debilitating prescription drugs!

I'm continually sifting through the latest research for the information we need to know to recognize heart attack symptoms keep our hearts as strong and vital as our Creator designed them to be.

I have successfully resisted the "suggestions" by more than one doctor that I take statin drugs, beta blockers and other "heart medications."

So far it is working great. I have an excellent primary care physician now who accepts my natural approach, although he has mentioned that I am a little weird.

 After my recent annual checkup he said with a wry smile.

"If everyone took care of themselves the way you do I wouldn't have to prescribe all of these drugs."

Are you confused by conflicting claims and media hype about heart disease? Who wouldn't be? National author and fitness consultant, James Rippee says it better than I could.

"We have too much knowledge, too
much media exposure to breakthroughs
and controversies. What we need is more common sense!"

As Will Rogers so aptly put it, "Common sense ain't common."

It's my aim to cut through the myths and hype and help you understand what the really important heart attack symptoms are for men and women heart attack symptoms; and how you can improve your odds of living a vital active and prescription drug free life.
