[QUOTE="SteveBurton, post: 2245117, member: 59541"] Thank you for sharing your story and I'm glad you are OK. That is really good information. I started carrying a small trauma kit with me into the field but did not think to add aspirin to it. My friends and family joke about it but you know the old saying. It's better to have it and not need it... To expand on this story with something I don't think a lot of people realize. When you have a heart attack, large or small, the possibility of your heart muscle not getting blood is very high. As the OP said, that part of your heart that is starved from oxygen rich blood dies. It does not recover or grow back. It is forever a dead piece of your heart which will reduce your overall activity level for the rest of your life. Your body is a remarkable machine and will compensate for it but you will never be 100% again. Anything that you can do to prevent this is a positive. [/QUOTE]
