Q: How do I know if my boyfriend is having a 3rd heart attack

He was holding his chest and head and his jaw. He asked me to run and get some low

dose aspirin. He refuses EMT treatment and is now alseep. What do I do? Do I wait until

he wakes up because he wouldn't explain his discomfort and he's had nausea all day. Should

I wait until he wakes up? I am keeping a constant eye on him just in case. Please help..

He had already had 2 heart attacks and is on many medications to control his heart disease.

He also has calcifying of the arteries to his kidneys but it is unknown if it extends to his

heart. What shoud I do? I am extremely concerned and I don't have a car to drive him...

What do I do??

Definitely have him checked out, it's better safe than sorry... My husband has had 3 heart attacks and that is definitely a symptom. Reply
