Hi I'm Andrew, 54, in October 2019 I had what I thought was heartburn over 3 evenings, dialled 111 and came out of hospital with a triple bypass!

Must have been bad heartburn for you to call 111

Not really. Just couldn't shift it with Gaviscon and rang 111 to make my mother happy! They asked me if I had chest pain on scale 1 to 10 and I said 1 and they said an ambulance is on the way!
your pain was on a scale of 1? was the pain constant or did it come and go?
On a scale of 1-10 where 10 is the worst pain imaginable I said it was 1 or 2. It felt like heartburn after all. It did come and go over 3 days. Im left wondering if it was really a heart attack or angina but my records show I had an NSTEMI HA. Afaik only the troponin level (180?) showed it as a HA.
Just as well they found out you needed the triple B.
Yup, very similar to me. My wife was away, but bullied me to A&E when she got back. Turns out I drove 32 miles in mid heart attack, at 1 Rennie per mile 😀
I ate a burger trying to shift what I thought was heart burn last April- it didn’t work but the quadruple bypass a few days later did!!!!
It’s nearly 2 years since hubby was “not quite right”. He kept feeling as if he had a flu - like infection - a bit chesty, no energy, no appetite. We were going to move a tractor about 30 miles and he decided he didn’t feel up to it. To cut a long story short, saw the GP, sent to hospital for a blood test and came home a month later having had a quadruple bypass!
Doing OK now!
