Hi I had a heart attack March 17 2019 done all cardio training passed class diet is good

Went on holiday last week walk up large bank twice in the day then when walking back up for a third time had tight chest pains across chest and down did not take my Gyn spray after about 20 mins pain eased of down my arm Made appointment for Drs now I am back home wondering was it another heart attack below is what has happened prior

I still get a lot of pain in my chest but Cardio consultant says nothing to do with heart this is before the recent episodes

I now seem to get out of breath again when out walking hard

If you haven’t been checked, make an appointment and get checked - better to be safe than sorry!

Hope it was just that you have slightly overdone things.

Good luck

I've had 3 stents and accept that aches and pains are now the norm for my chest. In fact, since accepting thst, they've reduced. If it was another ha, it should show in your bloods I believe. Worth checking but try not to worry. You can't change it. Try to be happy and enjoy life as much as you can 😊

I had a heart attack in Jan this year,had two stents fitted,did the rehab then a week later was rushed in with another heart attack. They say the stents became blocked on the death lab form but the discharge letter said it might have been due to a change in my tablets so not sure who to believe.it did mild to moderate damage to the pumping mechanism that may or may not recover so I'm left breathless and eating to go to rehab again. Worse thing I'm finding is the lack of follow up by cardiologist ,thirteen weeks plus but then the GP surgery don't seem to treat heart attack care high up in care- dismissive receptionists and if I ever get to a gp it's a long wait to see one .maybe me but I'd get higher priority if I had cancer or copd .having had two I was expecting a further echo sooner rather than later
