PAULA'S STORY
"In 1991, I went to the ER with chest pains twice in one week. They said it was ulcers. Then the pain became excruciating. Again, the ER said there was nothing they could do. I refused to leave and was admitted for observation. Later, the cardiologist on duty saw my EKG and asked, 'Where's the 34-year-old who had the massive heart attack?' I had emergency surgery. But the damage was done; only part of my heart muscle functions. I had to quit a job I loved, and my life is completely changed. They thought I was too young to have a heart attack."
