Palpitations post heart attack.

In 2018 I had a cardiac arrest, on 8.3.20 I had a heart attack and now have a total of eight stents. Over the past few days,during isolation/furlough, I have been experiencing several lots of palpitations on a daily basis usually after minimum exertion. Do I need to contact the professionals or am I being over cautious. I am 58 and have type 2 diabetes.

Hi. You’ve been through a lot. I’m sure you were told to take it easy for a bit? Take it easi-er!

I was told ‘your heart doesn’t like being messed about’, and 8 stents is quite a handful! It could take time to settle. And your heart is a little different after a heart attack. Lots to get used to.

But 111 is always there to get good advice, if you are worried.
