When you smoke it constricts your arteries, so blood cant get thorough.
So he was telling me he was at Mass General and the doctor was going up his body with a wire (or whatever) they put in his leg that went up to his heart to try and open his arteries up more, WHILE HE WAS AWAKE. He said he felt like his chest was going to burst. He said the whole ordeal was very painful, from the heart attack to the medical work done.
He said he threw the fucking cigarettes out. He's had health scares and gone to Mass General from smoking before, I think he has a minor stroke once, but this time he's really lucky to be alive.

Thats exactly what I had done. One part where they were nuking the blockage felt like they were microwaving it. Felt literally hot inside. But for the most part it was endurable. It reminded me of the 70's where you'd fish a coathanger into your car door window to try and unlock it, lol. Except with freshly shaved pubes on the right side
The heart attack on the other hand.. real pain. Like I was breathing toxic fumes, or like my chest was in a vice. I'd smoked for about 30 years. You can't ever quit fast enough, and cant ever be too old or busy to work out a little.
