    Any health issues that may have contributed? Weight, diet, exercise, family history etc.?

    Glad you got to a good place and got it handled. I had one at 43 and ended up with quad bypasses so I can relate. Prayers for a complete recovery.

    There is no age restriction on heart attacks. 1994 I was 43, working way too many hours, had a heart attack at work. 79 days later hadn’t slowed down, had a heart attack on the road. Ambulance came out and took me to the nearest hospital. Spent 10 days there.

    Glad you are still here, listen to your cardiologist. I still have a meeting with mine once a year, 27 years after the fact.

    Scary stuff! Glad that you're OK. Heart attacks in one's 40's are often the widow maker.
