Hi, I was diagnosed with A Fib around 10 years ago and have been medically managed since then. I've had a few admissions with serious episodes since then, but in September I had a terrific headache like nothing I had suffered before followed by severe chest pain. I was away from home at the time and ended up at the local A & E where an ECG was normal but troponin levels very very high and increased steeply after an hour. Four days later I had an angio and was diagnosed with SCAD - sponteneous coronary artery dissection which then caused an NSTEMI - heart attack. Has anyone else suffered this and of so, how has your recovery been and did it set of the A Fib again?
Many thanks for any information.
