Last night my racing heart got worse and the ingestion got worse (it wasn't ingestion) plus I was getting breathless. I spoke to a nurse after requesting a call back on the NHS website. She called an ambulance and when I was in a&e I had a heart attack the early hours of this morning.
I'm just waiting to see the doctor to see what happens now, I've messaged Mum and Bec (best friend)
Mum is waiting to find out when she can come down. (We're thankfully not celebrating mother's day today, I always ask her if she wants to celebrate the UK mother's day or the Spanish mother's day, she normally chooses Spain one although last year she said both, so I don't have to worry about mother's day until May 7th)
I'll update you as soon as I know anything

Thank goodness you called 111 even though I am so sorry you have had another heart attack when your post said update I was hoping you were going to say you were ok now
Do not be worrying about Mothers Day or anything else for that matter just concentrate on getting yourself well that is the most important thing
You know you are in the best place and safe hands where you are and they will soon sort you out and have you back on that road to recovery
Please when you can let us know how you are doing we will all be thinking about you and sending positive vibes your way x
I’m so sorry to hear you’ve had a heart attack, I know this is probably the last outcome you wanted. Although not the best, you were in the right place when it happened, which is the hospital.
Keeping you in my thoughts. I wish you a speedy recovery and do not forget to rest and put all else aside until you’re feeling better x
I started reading with optimism thinking things had calmed down but so sorry to hear the outcome and same as others have said you took notice of what your body was telling you and took action and you were in the best place you could have been. Wish you all the best with your recovery now.
Hello Valentina, so very sorry to hear your news. Thankfully you are in the right place to get the treatment you need and you will be back on the road to recovery. My thoughts are with you and sending a big hug. Let us know how you get on. Take good care, Judi
Oh gosh so sorry to hear this. Hope your ok. At 24 years old too! Its practically unheard of being that young.
I was 35 when i was in AnE and AFTER they gave me GTN spray, i then went on to have a heart attack. They shouldn't have given me this spray as i informed them of medicines i had taken an hour before which interact dangerously with gtn spray. Annoys me that they used the same standard treatment as i may have been in a different position today if they just withheld that spray until they found what was going on. The standard throw water onto the fire doesn't work for every fire!
Anyways, good luck. Hope you pull through and they give you the appropriate treatment x
Oh Valentina I'm so sorry to read this... thank goodness you listened to your body and got checked out! I've sometimes found that some can be dismissive because "oh but you're so young!", so really you've done well to stand up for yourself.You're in the best hands and I hope that gives you some reassurance. Really really wishing you a speedy recovery! X
So sorry to hear what you’re currently going through but really pleased that you listened to your instincts and made the call.
I’m sure your mum (and best friend) is glad that you’re in the right place and receiving the care that you need!
I know it’s easier said than done but take this time to be a bit selfish and concentrate on yourself - no one is going to begrudge your self preservation, it’s imperative for your recovery.
Sending you positive thoughts and energy for a speedy recovery.
Lots of good wishes Valentina, and I'm happy to add mine. I hope you are better soon and that the hospital gets ro the bottom of everything. Best wishes, Steve
Hello I wasn't aware of your previous messages but I wish you the best luck for your recovery and I hope they find out the cause of these heart attacks in such a young girl. Keep us posted! Fabio
So sorry to hear this. My advice is Please please please relax and try to stop using your mobile phone. I had a heart attack and next day I was texting other friends and relatives in a truly exhaustive state from a hospital bed. I'm sure the mental energy of texting contributed to me having a cardiac arrest that evening. So once you've read all these encouraging words from others, have a complete rest and use your phone very sparingly. I'm sorry no-one (like nurses, Dr's) gave me this advice, I was a teacher also and I know how in control we like to be but you have to give yourself a true break and cut your mind off everything in relation to what you think you have to do. Folks can wait so please rest well and I pray you make a quick recovery and will/are being looked after extremely well.
oh my goodness such a young age to be going through this but take everyone’s advice on here and have complete rest, your Mum will understand and I’m sure she’s not in the slightest bit bothered about mothers day as long as you’re ok. Sending you all my best wishes
I am so sorry that you had a heart attack. Your symptoms sounded a whole lot like mine before my HA last March 24th. Hopefully, you are feeling some better today and the doctors have done/will do some testing/blood work to see what is going on.
I agree with others that being in the hospital when the HA occurred seems to be the best possible place to be. Hopefully, the doctors will be able to sort everything out fairly quickly and have you back home.
I know that you are likely scared and worried right now, but try to think of the positives too. You were in the best spot when the HA happened. You got immediate care and interventions. You may have already started on new medications that help. Evaluations and testing to find out what you need are likely ongoing. Plus, the most important thing is that you are still here. You are able to speak with your loved ones and share your story—all a blessing!
I will keep an eye out to see how you are doing, and I wish you the best going forward.
