I came off Heroin c/t but i never heard anything about the possibility of having a heart attack afterwards. Maybe i am wrong, but i had never heard anything about this.

You can have a heart attack at anytime.. Treat symptoms seriously and get checked out by your Dr, or emergency room...
We put our bodies through a lot of stress when we ct. While we are using H it suppresses our repository track while slowing down the heart rate big time, using we are not  getting enough fluids or food to really keep ourselves healthy  so when we jump start our system it is shocking and causes pain as it goes back to normal function.. also while using we don't feel a lot of things that may be wrong physically so it is always a good idea to get checked by a Dr. it helps to put your mind at ease and to know exactly what is going on with you
