Aches and Pains

Heart attack in October 2020 . No stems as it was a small artery that was blocked . On medication and had cardio rehab. My chest and back are sore , sometimes pain and sometimes aches. Not like the HA but gets me down . I feel as though I’m never going to be free of these aches and pains .

Anyone else feel the same ?

I had a HA in late June. Had 2 procedures and 4 stents. They couldn’t clear all the side branch vessels because too small to stent. I’m fine but still get aches and pains in should blades occasionally and today in the middle of the back. No explanation but they come and go and today has been the first fir quite some time.it does get better and all I can say is when you ached try the GTN spray , if that doesn’t work it’s almost certainly not angina and just an ache. I take paracetamol when it happens and that seems to work. Good luck.

Thank you . I get a lot of sharp pain in middle of my back . I’ll try paracetamol . I was reluctant to take anything else because of all the meds I’m on already but certainly worth a try x

I’m told by my daughter an A&E nurse paracetamol is fine but not ibrobrufen if you are blind thinner type drugs.
