Hello Everyone,
The last two days, I was having chest pains. My chest pains felt like a burning sensation. My arms felt really tensed and heavy. It was the same burning sensation right before I had my first heart attack between April 11 and April 12, 2015. Between the night of May 28, 2015 and the early morning of May 29, 2015, I had a hard time going to sleep. During my ordeal with my burning chest pains in the past two days, what was going through my mind was, "Oh no, not again! I'm going to have another heart attack!" I couldn't sleep at all during the night. I was tossing and turning in bed. I decided to get up and take an Aspirin. During my day at work my chest was burning every time I did any physical activity such as walking around (please keep in mind that I'm obese at 373 pounds), but when I sat down and relaxed my chest stop burning. I kept drinking water and tried to stay calm and relaxed through out the day. But luckily, I didn't have a second heart attack.

Update On My Obesity
Hello Everyone,
Around the beginning of the year 2015, my weight was 385 pounds. Every since I had my heart attack in April I started eating healthy. When the hospital bed automatically determined my weight, it said 376 pounds. Last week when my aunt's weight scale determined my weight I was and still am 373 pounds. Since my heart attack (April 12, 2015), I've been eating lots of fruits and vegetables, such as cantaloupe, granny smith apples, strawberries, celery and peanut butter. I've also been using Mrs. Dash on baked fish and baked chicken. I've also been eating Lean Cuisine and dark chocolate. I've been picking up a sandwich from Subway before work. I always get the turkey breast with iceberg lettuce, spinach, cucumbers. I'm getting use to looking at the nutritional information when picking up an item. Also, I'm very excited to say that since I've been making healthy choices about food, my hemorrhaging from my fibroid has stopped! I no longer have the burden of dealing with month long heavy periods! Now about the peanut butter, I'm having a hard time deciding which peanut butter is the healthiest. Someone please help me!

Being A Virgin Of Heart Disease
Hello Everyone,
Every since I got out of the hospital I've been doing great as far as eating healthy, eating fruits and vegetables, staying away from fried foods and eating in moderation and taking my heart medicine. They say confession is good for the soul. I've been following the doctors and nurses orders.....until now. I now must make my confession.....I've been backsliding....for a few days, but I lost some weight....I only lost a little weight....not a whole lot of weight. I went on an outing with my mother, brother and aunt. We went to go run some errands and we decided to go to lunch.....or dinner, whatever you want to call it. Guest where we went to.......Red Lobster......and yes, I ate some cheddar biscuits! I ate four of them! I know I wasn't suppose to eat those cheddar biscuits, but they were good! I hadn't had anything to eat all day long and I was hungry! I drunk raspberry lemonade and yes it had sugar in it. I had fried oysters and french fries. My mother and my aunt was upset at me and they said I should've eaten in moderation and I ate too fast. They told me not to eat anymore cheddar biscuits and I've shouldn't eaten the french fries. One of our friends called and she was wondering where I was because we were suppose to walking around the neighborhood circle. She was upset after my mom told her what I had done. Our friend wanted to talk to me on the phone. She said that I need to take my heart disease seriously. But when I got out of the hospital I've been doing what I was supposed to do. Why can't I have a little fun for one day? I know I wasn't suppose to eat the fried oysters and cheddar biscuits and I shouldn't have drunk that lemonade that was full of sugar, but I couldn't help myself. This is hard. I know I need to take my heart disease seriously. I just wasn't able to control my temptations.
