Yes. In February. I've now recovered thankfully. Good meds and salt and fluid restrictions.

So glad to hear you are well again. I had it in August 5 minutes after giving birth and ended up with pulmonary oedema and an infection too so was quite poorly but I'm only now starting to properly look into it all because I've been having heavy chest pains and other symptoms so looking to see if anyone has had the same, or if this is something different. I've had an MRI and cardiac stress test and awaiting the results but it's an awful experience isn't it
