Maybe consider slowing down the playback speed when watching Billy on YouTube in the future. ;)
Take good care and keep us posted on your recovery.

If the thunder don't get you then the EDM light show will.
Expected we'd hear reports of Tourette's Syndrome outbreaks from those things, but not heart attacks.
Sounds like you caught it in time. Hope you are on the road to a full recovery.

Skifurthur , so damned happy you are just fine now. Heart attack (minor or not) at a shoe is a thing.

.I was taking photos of the Sea.Hear.Now festival and I progressively got more winded. At first I attributed that to the fact that I had broken a few ribs 3 weeks earlier. During the Billy Strings set, I decided it was time to take a break. Sat down on a curb and attempted to reset since I was a bit sweaty and fatigued. Security, probably thinking that I had over-imbibed, came over to see if I was ok. I told them I just needed to sit a spell before continuing. About 15 mins later they came by again and asked again. I didn't seem to be recovering at all so I said it was probably best to cart me to the med tent. After taking my vitals in the tent they realized that something was seriously amiss. Another 20 mins or so and they decided to put me in the ambulance and take me to the emergency room. It was on the ride over that my heart really started racing to the point that they had to give me a drug to stop my heartbeat in an attempt to reset it. They did, it reset and calmed down a bit, but not to a good level. i was stabilized in the emergency room but my blood work told them I had some sort of cardiac event. More tests and they got the answer. Some rest, more tests and a stent and I am back on my feet. I need to take some drugs for a bit, or maybe for a long time. I'm sure I will be fine going forward. I just need to adjust a few things.
I'm glad that, when needed, festival staff was on top of things and made sure I got the help I needed.

Welcome to the club Adam.
Welcome to the club Adam.
Only one stent?....... JK
Time to adjust your diet bro. And yeah, those pills. I actually stopped taking everything but plavix and aspirin soon after event. The sides on the statins were murder (super strong shoulder pain. Constant almost unbearable). And my cholesterol was/ is not so bad. And my bp is not super high either. Major adjustment to diet though. And EXERCISE. Every day.
Where are your cholesterol and blood pressure?
Hoping for the best in your speedy recovery and adjustments.

Tests, tests and more tests
Tests, tests and more tests have been done.
BP was high during the event but has appeared to normalize in a good area. Something to watch though. Cholesterol needs to come down a little but nothing that a better diet won't fix. The stent was put in an area that looked like it might become a problem sometime soon. Preventive maintainence.
Thank you for all the well wishes, even those made to that Adam guy. :-)
