Not been on here for quite sometime, but las Tuesday felt unwell called 999. No pain, ended up in critical care after suffering a 2nd HA . I had a triple in 2017, but there was a question at the time about a fourth artery. Well, this is the one that caused the attack. I now have heart damage and heart failure. It's good to have made it and only on Tuesday had a balloon put in to suck out the clots. I watched it on the screen during angiogram amazing stuff. Couldn't be stented, because of it being a small branch. Balloon left in keeping artery open. How cool is that. In hindsight they should have treated it four years ago. Then I wouldn't have had problems over the last three years. But still good to be alive, cus I very nearly wasn't
