Nikki Tomczak, a 46-year-old real estate agent from Spring, Texas, never imagined she would suffer a heart attack. Running a successful real estate agency alongside her husband Marty, she was an active woman with no prior medical conditions.
Like many busy professionals, she dismissed several signs her body was giving her—until it was too late. On January 31, those subtle warnings escalated into a life-threatening cardiac event.
Wanting to help others better recognize the symptoms, Nikki recorded a video from her hospital bed two days later, on February 2, hoping to raise awareness about commonly brushed-away heart attack symptoms.
