I know all too well what it feels like. In March of 2009 I had a massive heart attack and even got the paddles on the table in the OR as the got raedy to insert a stent in the same locaion as in your heart attack. I did not pay attention to the signs that occuired over the week preceding the heart attack and that almost cost me my life. Today I have additional issues as in Heart Failure and suffer from severe, at times, angina. Had the heart cath done in Nov and my stent is 40% blocked. But guess what................ medical protocol will not allow the Dr's to do anything until it reaches 70%. Wow so much fun. Today my Dr doubled the long acting nitro I take daily and I certainly hope that works because the angina is not fun when it is almost all the time.
Are you happy with your cardiologist? If you would like another opinion feel free to PM me.
