Lack of appetite and dizzy in the morning.

Good morning all.

I had a heart attack 5 weeks ago and have had a stent placed to open up a 50% blocked artery. The problem I'm having now is that my appetite is terrible and when I wake up in the morning I'm feeling very weak and dizzy. Does anyone else out there have the same symptoms as it's driving me crazy.

Cheers,

Pauk

Thanks for the quick reply,

I've just had my medication adjusted after an ambulance trip to the hospital on Sunday. My blood pressure was indeed quite low and after leaving the hospital it was too high (very confusing). Prior to my heart attack my blood pressure was always very good and I was feeling much better than I do now. Looks like I will just have to suck it up. I'm just glad that this forum is here so that I can chat with someone.

Cheers,

Paul

Hello Thatwasunexpected.

Thanks for the positive reply.

I've not got a blood pressure cuff but have been thinking about getting one. The only problem that I have with having one is that I don't want to be grabbing it at a moments notice as I'm also fixated on my heart rate at the moment. Something to think about.

Yeah, I'm sure it's just the medication and you're right, I have to give it a bit more time. I have no patience though and just want to jump back on my bike or go out for a run.

I've been reading some of your posts and I love your positivity, hopefully I'll be the same real soon.

Take care and good luck with your running,

Cheers from the Netherlands,

Paul

Wise words mate,

Funnily enough, I was on my bike last Saturday and managed a 20km ride. Sunday rolls around and I'm on my way to the hospital after almost passing out (at the mention of 20km bike rides my girl is shaking her head). Blood pressure was fine as was my heart rate so its either a virus or I've come down with something else.

I won't be doing that again in a hurry. Thankfully I had no chest pain, just feel like I've got a bad flu/weekness for the whole week.

Baby steps for me now and I'll be keeping an eye on your running progress.

Cheers,

Paul

I love running and hiking and can't wait to get back at it. Last 2 years I've walked the West Highland Way and would love to do it again.

Good luck with the Park Run and with your attitude I'm sure you will manage a great time and have fun doing it.

Cheers,

Paul
