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.

“I thought my heart had stopped. I really thought that was it—I was going to die,” she confessed.

It all began with a seemingly minor sensation on her left shoulder. “It felt like I was sleeping on it wrong,” she explained, recounting the feeling as “soreness,” which she chalked up to symptoms of perimenopause, a condition known to cause muscle discomfort in women around her age range.

The pain persisted, but it wasn’t enough to stop Nikki from continuing her daily routine. She then went to drink her usual morning coffee, and it was then that a second symptom arose: nausea.

@martyandnikki 2 days ago I had a heart attack at 46. No medical history. No covid 💉. These were MY symptoms because people asked. This doesn’t mean they’re the same as everyone else. I did think I was experiencing indigestion until I didn’t. #martyandnikki#heartattack#heartattacksymptoms#heartattacksymptomsinwomen♬ original sound – Marty & Nikki

“I felt like I was going to throw up, but it passed quickly, and I just went about my day,” she shared. To her, these symptoms were easy to rationalize—nothing out of the ordinary for a busy woman managing her career, family, and personal life.

By the morning of her heart attack, the discomfort became harder to ignore. Once again, Nikki woke up with the familiar shoulder pain and a feeling of nausea. This time, however, something felt different. “My chest started to feel tight like someone was squeezing it,” she recalled.

Far from disappearing, the pain from her shoulder radiated down her arm, but it still wasn’t enough for her to sound the alarm.

Despite her symptoms subsiding after a shower, she decided to go to the doctor anyway—a decision that saved her life

Cautious, Nikki told her husband, Marty, to not go to work as she wasn’t feeling well. Her plan was to take a hot shower, hoping it would make her feel better. Worried, Marty asked her if she wanted him to call an ambulance, but she told him to wait.

Surprisingly, the shower worked—at least temporarily. The pain went down, and Nikki told her husband he could head to work. To be safe, she scheduled a doctor’s appointment for later that morning.

Both the pain and nausea disappeared by the time she arrived at the clinic. The doctor advised her to go straight to the emergency room if they returned and sent Nikki on her way.

The realtor went about her day as planned, heading out for lunch with her daughter. However, her relief would prove to be short-lived.
