    I had two different heart attack after the birth of my daughter at the age of 38. With the heart attacks for my age being new to the medical profession, there hasn't been enough information given to me to explain the two different types of heart attacks I had and why? I need to get a second opinion but I don't know where to start. I have Kaiser Permanente as my Health Care Provider.

    i am a 22 year old 6 month pegnant woman, a student studying in Indonesia who had a heartattack on the 7th March 2007. the Doctors first thought that i had tetanus but after the ECG found out that it was a heartattack. i was shocked out of my senses. i was suppose to go to hospital for bed rest but rather decided to rest at home and take my pills. what the doctors neglectedto do was tell me more about the possible effects it had on my pregnancy and also what caused it.
