I'm sorry to hear you had a heart attack--very scary! Glad you made it!
One of my favorite cookbooks is a collaboration between the American Heart Association and the American Diabetes Association.
It includes nutrition information for each recipe, and there is another version for cooking for 2.
To check out some of the AHA's other cookbooks, go to: shop.heart.org
They also have lots of good info on heart health on their site: heart.org
Thank You sciencegeek, I will check those books out. I will now have to change or alter my Recipes as well. This happened so quick I can hardly believe it myself. I'm so glad to post here. Thank You! 
Hi, so very happy you are doing so well, and glad that it wasn't more serious since you waityed so long. I might have as well. Mine wasn't painful, but I noticed pain. I hurt in my back, in the middle, and on the side of my neck. I thought I had pulled a muscle.
Yes, I know for sure that women's symptoms can vary widely from the classic men's symptoms. That often gets us in trouble because we write it off as other things. We have to educate ourselves as to how many different ways it can feel so we don't wait like you and I did !!
The most important thing ladies,is PERSISTENCY !!!!! Any type of unusual pain that is in the chest, jaw, back, or arm area that does not go away, or increases on exertion can be a heart-related pain. And don't consider a younger age out !! Teens and very young adults have had serious heart problems. Not to scare you, but always better safe and sorry !!!
I never had the traditional "elephant sitting on my chest" symptoms. I had no frontal chest symptoms either. But I ended up finding out that I have a major blood clot occluding my widpwmaker, a very important artery. One inch over and it would be a killing myocardial infarction and I would die in less than about two minutes.
Worse, they went to put in a stent and found I can't have one because they don't make them in the size I need. So I am walking around on heart medication and baby aspirin. The only thing I can do is to watch my diet and exercise. AND PRAY it doesn't move.
Ladies, eat well, exercise, don't smoke, and know your body and it's normal signs and symptoms. And if you feel unusual, go to your doctor without hesitation. The life you save may be your own !!
Blessings to each of you.

Hello hopeQ1, you explained it maybe better than I did. I had the Jaw pain thought it was a toothache though the pain was outside on Jaw not inside. I had some chest pain didn't hurt too bad. My big thing that bothered me was tightening of the chest and difficulty breathing. I kept trying to take big breaths to try to feel better. I'm on several medications I have been taking a small dose 81 mg for years since my Mother passed away at age 42 of a heart attack one night the next morning passed away of a massive heart attack. I now take that aspirin and a pill for my heart everyday and my Doctor stressed of all my pills those I can't ever forget daily. I also take a blood pressure pill in which I didn't have high blood pressure and a cholesterol pill. All the pills work together. I was told Heart Attacks on the right side are better than the left side. The left side is the main working of the Heart and Death is more likely. I am very lucky and grateful to be here and will do what I'm suppose to stay here and be healthy. Remember if you have these symptoms call 911.
