YouTube and Heart Attack Stories


I can't catch my breath....

Olivia Newton-John, Heart Attack, 1982


There is something even more personal about seeing and hearing a person as they tell the story, rather than reading the printed words.

One of the benefits to listening to these stories on Youtube is to hear how the symptoms of the heart attack were different in each case, particularly among the woman.

These stories can all be found by typing "heart attack" in the search engine; one has to go quite deep into Youtube to find them.

(Most of the search results for "heart attack" are music videos. Olivia Newton-John has the following symptoms in her video:

  • Dry Mouth
  • Weak Legs
  • Difficulty speaking
  • Can't catch her breath

At least one of these is a real symptom of a heart attack.)
