Post heart attack dizzy spells

Hi, my husband had a heart watch last November and needed 2 stents. Send back to work in January but has just gone back to work after another 2 months due to dizzy spells resulting in a few blackouts . They haven't been able to find the cause of the blackouts therefore he's now waiting for an ilr to be fitted but can't drive for 6 months after the last blackout. He knows the trigger and so far has avoided it, but once again as are on edge all the time

Hi Vicki, really sorry to hear this, am sure they would have checked his blood pressure and medications as well and hopefully the ilr will alleviate this and he will be back to normal soon, plus owe you for all the ferrying about!
