When a healthy Breanna Flanagan, 48, felt like something didn’t feel right, she spent hours telling herself it was nothing. A trip to our ED proved otherwise. Her heart attack is an important reminder to women especially to take unexpected symptoms seriously and listen to your body. Read her story in the comments.
