Only a street away from the emergency room, Nikki decided to drive herself to the clinic, thinking it would be faster that way. Upon arriving at the ER, Nikki experienced extreme sweating, and the pain in her arm evolved into a numbing sensation.
Nikki received immediate medical attention. Doctors would later confirm that she indeed had suffered a heart attack. This would mark the beginning of an almost 60-day journey to recovery, a path filled with lingering symptoms and multiple trips to the hospital.

The realtor followed up her massively viral, 8-million-views testimonial with a follow-up last Thursday (March 27), in which she celebrated six consecutive days without symptoms. Despite the positive news, she still had questions regarding her experience.
“We know what happened, but we still don’t know why it happened,” she said, referring to her doctors’ diagnosis that her heart attack was caused by a spasm in her left main coronary artery, which cut off oxygen to her heart.

Seeking a second opinion, she sought help from a specialist at the Texas Heart Institute Women’s Center. Though she didn’t reveal the doctor’s name to protect her privacy, Nikki referred to her as “Dr. Rockstar” and credited her with turning her treatment around.
Now with a better treatment in place, Nikki hopes her story will encourage others to pay attention to their bodies and seek medical help when something feels off.
“If my story can help even one person, it’s worth sharing,” she said.
