Age does not come alone. I made a good recovery from HA in February with two stents fitted. But by October i was getting a bit breathless and uncomfortable. Transpires i now have ovarian cancer which has caused swelling in abdomen, hence breathlessness. Moral- don't assume everything is due to heart. Get checked out properly.
Happy Christmas folks.
Sorry to hear your news. It is strange how everything initially is linked to a pre-existing condition. Having been diagnosed Type I Diabetic I have had a lifetime of this with conditions like glandular fever being missed with me being told it was my diabetic control. It is puzzling as well how you are treated as a condition and not a person. Since my bypass I now, after six months, can walk further than I have done in years. However someone said they thought I would have been walking faster. Sorry but I still have an arthritic hip!
Anyway this does not fix you. Good luck with the treatment whatever it will be.
And, of course, seasons greetings! 
The way things are done
Things to ask my surgeon!
The mind is a powerful thing 
is there such a thing as ‘not a full blown HA’?
Brain fog, forgetting things
