Diane Shelp - Heart Attack Victim

Taste Test Thursday with Adam Owens

Diane is a lifelong resident of Lake Ariel, PA. She's worked at banks, as a medical assistant, and for 10+ years she managed the video rental store in Hamlin. In July of 2019 Diane started feeling a little un-well. Her husband urged her to take a trip to the Emergency Room and moments after she arrived there, Diane was stricken with a heart attack. The next day she had a stent put in and a month later, a second stent was installed. Diane joins Adam to talk about her ordeal, and what her life is like in the aftermath. February is American Heart Month and this episode will hopefully illuminate some of the ways that an imminent heart attack can masquerade as other problems, and why it's so important to be mindful and listen to what your body is telling you.
