Joan 的心脏病发作

字幕原文

I was a heavy smoker, but I never thought it could happen to me. 我以前是个老烟枪，但我从没想过这种事会发生在我身上。

I was only 44. 我那时才44岁。

Heart attacks, I figured, happened to old men, not to someone my age. 我以为心脏病发作是老年人的事，而不是我这个年纪的人。

About three days before it happened, 大约在事发三天前，

I started feeling a strange discomfort in my neck and shoulders, 我开始感到脖子有一种奇怪的不适感 和肩膀，

as if the muscles were being pulled. 感觉肌肉好像被拉扯着。

I mentioned it to my sister. 我把这事告诉我姐姐了。

She had had a heart attack herself just two weeks earlier, 她自己就在两周前刚经历过一次心脏病发作，

so she knew the warning signs, and she drove me straight to the hospital. 所以她知道预警信号， 她直接开车把我送到了医院。

She was right. 她是对的。

I was having a heart attack. 我确实心脏病发作了。

My doctor told me the first one had done serious damage, and another could kill me. 医生告诉我，第一次发作已经造成了严重损伤，再来一次可能就会要我的命。

So I had no choice but to change. 所以我别无选择，只能做出改变。

I quit smoking. 我戒烟了。

I work out four times a week now, and I eat real, healthy food. 我现在每周锻炼四次，吃真正的健康食物。

I used to think I was too young for any of this to matter. 我以前总觉得我还太年轻，这些事情都无关紧要。

I was wrong. 我错了。

Your body doesn't check your age before it sends a warning, 你的身体不会看你的年龄 才发出警告，

so listen the very first time it speaks. 所以它第一次发出信号时，你就要留意。
