Had a suspected heart attack in December 2020. Tested positive with Covid 19 same time. Was suffering from bad cough and felt ill. Went A and E Admitted 5 days Discharged myself as wanted to go home from covid ward.
Hospital wasnt happy. But Christmas and family came before me.
February after 6 weeks on pills and several phone calls to GP . I was re-admitted for further testing.
Sent Basildon from Colchester hospital for Angiogramme. Result Dilated Cardiomyopathy. Going back for MRI soon. Awaiting outcome. Life completely changed. Cant walk far or travel far...No supermarkets even . Wheelchair at the moment. Only 52.
With a 7 year old. Wife and older son.
Digging deep at the moment . Trying to get all the help I can. Trying to get my life back. Its been shattered.
That is hard. There will be plenty of support for you on these boards, but I hope you are getting practical support as well. Are you in touch with your local cardio team? They should be able to help you make as much progress as you can. Mine are wonderful, but limited because of COVID. Love to your wife and kids too! It's not easy for them.
Colon please be strong. I share your pain. Had Covid in October, it's made my asthma worse. Been in and out of hospital. I know how you feel, but remember no condition is permanent. We will fight this. Be strong for them. Praying for you and your family 🙏.
