Today, I was just released from hospital after a heart attack. As a 37 year-old woman with healthy habits and no family history of heart issues, the doctors have no idea why it happened. So instead of telling me how to change my lifestyle, they told me to proceed as usual, and hope that it doesn't happen again. FML

Today, I had a heart attack. At the hospital, the doctor compared my heart to a stressed out 60 year-old's heart. I'm 17 and I don't even have a job yet. FML

Today, I went to see a doctor because I have been feeling of pressure in my chest. After running numerous tests, I was told I was perfectly healthy and had nothing to worry about. I made it as far as the front door before I collapsed and had to be rushed to the hospital. FML

Hit the gym

Today, after months of my doctor telling me that my heart palpitations are simply due to anxiety, and that I'm perfectly healthy, I decided to weight train to face my fears. Two hours later, I was in the emergency room. FML

My body is a temple

Today, I went to hospital with chest pain and they discovered I need a triple bypass for three arteries clogged with fat. The doctor assumed from my scans that I must be middle aged or older because he’d never seen three arteries clogged so badly on someone under 50. I’m 27 FML

Tachycardia

Today, after a three day hospitalization, four weeks of a new heart med, no alcohol and no caffeine, my heart rhythm was finally back on track. That is until some a-hole teens decided that banging loudly on my door and running away was hilarious. Oh well, back to square one. FML

Today, I went to see a doctor due to some gastric distress I have. I came out with directions to buy a blood pressure monitor, I'm prohibited from doing sports, and have a possible diagnosis of arterial hypertension which I am way too young to have. FML

Crash diet

Today, I found out my sudden weight loss wasn’t because I changed my diet. It’s because I have heart failure FML

Today, my doctor died. Last week, after a check up I'd had because I was worried about a cough, he told me not to worry because I was as healthy as he was. FML

Today, I found out that I have a heart disease. When I went to tell my family, they all said that it should kill me faster so that I can donate my organs to my cousin. FML

Today, I went to the hospital with severe chest pain, thinking it was a heart attack. Turns out now I just can't have booze, pop, chocolate, fruit with skins, seeds, tomatoes, or mint. I'd rather have the heart attack. FML

Get another doctor. Stat. You're a person, and they are treating you like a damn car. Heart issues can occur at any age and you need to nip this in the bud. Best of luck!

At the same time, another doctor would probably ask OP about her family history (no heart disease) and lifestyle, find said lifestyle to be the exact same thing the doctor recommends to heart attack patients, throw his/her hands in the air, sight, and recomment statins. Apparently, statins work especially well with women.

You raise a valid point. I may be a bit biased on this as I too have a family history of heart issues, and, in full disclosure, take statins myself for cholesterol. OP made it sound like the doctor was being dismissive rather than taking the time to consult with a colleague or dig deeper.

get a second or third opinion. what happened is not normal. could be stress/anxiety related. you need to find out. simply waiting to have another heart attack is about the dumbest thing I have ever heard. I hope you get it figured out.
