What initially felt like heartburn turned out to be much worse, and if it weren’t for EMTs, Bob Vaccaro feels like his story might have a much different ending.
Back on Christmas Day, Vaccaro was celebrating the holiday with his family. It seemed like any other holiday when suddenly something didn’t feel right. Vaccaro thought it might be a good idea to get checked out. He hadn’t been feeling himself lately, so family members called for paramedics, and when they arrived, they realized Bob was likely suffering a heart attack.
Now that Bob is recovering, he wants people to be their own advocates for their health and closely monitor how they feel. If something feels wrong, they should speak up and get checked out by a doctor.
