Hi, just signed up today and having a look around.
Little about myself, I had my first heart attack at the age of 32 (25 years ago), unbeknown to me I have had another within the last few weeks. First I knew I had a bad Angina do on the 9th October and went to A&E, only to be asked, "Did I realise I had Had a Heart attack within the past 24 to 48 hours." Answer to that was no I hadn't.
To be honest I haven't had any notable signs of Angina for years neither, no pain, no breathing problems, nothing really. Is this unusual.
I am now waiting to go for MRI scan requested by surgeons before deciding whether to go down the by-pass route. Angiogram found 3 major artery blockages which are apparently to bad to take stents.

I had 4 CABGs before stents were in wide use, 1997. I recommend that you watch the film "Forks Over Knives". It is on Netflix and YouTube. It is about global medical heart research and the findings, including a massive study of 800,000 Chinese people. You might find it helpful, I did. It might save you having the surgery.
I have been on a Whole Food Plant Based (WFPB) diet since March and the evidence of my blood pressure (117/70), cholesterol (2.7) and pulse (50-60) indicate that my arteries are cleared. So, it has taken only 6 months. My doctor is gradually taking me off all the meds- diuretics ans statins have gone.
