Oh Jack! At some of our ages, if we were offered "super sex" by a gorgeous woman we'd probably say, "I'll take the soup."

@perrone1 It sure would be close between super sex and the soup, but I'd go the soup du jour if they threw in crackers....but not minnestrone...it gives me wind.

Having had two strokes, the only sign i had was slightly slurred speech.  I waited a whole day before going to the hospital. I did feel hot pin pricks all over my face. The second one I was wacthing tv and started shacking like I was cold, but it was a mild day.

Thanks Jack.   They put 2 stints in my neck.  The sad part was during the first hospital stay, my younger brother in Phoenix, called every day to check up on me.  The day I went home my nephew called to say my brother died that morning.

I can confirming that heart attacks and strokes are not fun. But one can find out that there are lots of people who are pulling for you and are sending you positive thoughts. And I think you now have a guardian angel somewhere above the clouds and over the rainbow !

Out of the blue one morning, I had this 'wooosh' inside my head and was immediately nauseous and sick. I virtually crawled to the underground and headed for work, knowing it was near one of U.K.'s best neurology departments. Before getting there the folks got me off and called an ambulance to whom I asked 'is it a stroke?' "No - you'd know about it if it were". They assured me. As it was, it was a Cerebral Bleed and after a week in IC, I was out, but never quite the same. So jokes aside, any sign must be taken very seriously.

Absolutely! Scary, here on this thread, how many have had trouble. I have had two heart attacks and one stroke. My first heart attack occurred when I was in my mid 20's. I survived major cancer surgery and treatments but still have a bad heart. What you say is so true - be mindful fellas, of any and all signs of potential problems and do not hesitate to seek help immediately!
