My hubbie went to hosp yesterday for angina tests and they told him he had a heart attack three weeks ago. How is this possible? Can you have an mild heart attack and not even know about it?

Yes it is for I have had one they tell me. I went to the hospital to have them check the blockage. I was told if we do anything we will tell you first, I go to sleep and wake up with four stints. Afterwords I was told I had 90% in one and 85% in another, there are only three main arteries on the heart. That is scary to have that much blockage. I never had pain on a shortness of breathe.

Yes, some symptoms are mild. I thought I had heartburn and it turned out to be a heart attack. Did he feel short of breath, tightness in neck, chest or jaw? these can be symptoms.

You can have a massive heart attack and not know it. It's called a silent heart attack.

yes it is possible. He could have thought he just had heart burn. I hope he is doing better with his health.

Yes you can, frighteningly enough. I have heard of it alot. I am glad they know now though, he can get help and avoid another one! Good luck to you both.
