I am a 60 year old female I have been type 2 diabetic for 12 years was diet controlled until 3 years ago was put on Sitagliptin and later dapagliflozin was added but this was stopped due to side effects In April this year I was diagnosed with Coronary artery disease I have had all the usual tests CT angiogram, Chest x-ray, 7 day ECG not had echo yet and going in for invasive angiogram next week
I only went for my routine diabetes check and this heart stuff happened I had been getting short of breath and having a bit of chest discomfort but I thought it was just I was out of condition and a bit of old age creeping in
I have to admit it is a bit scary 😨
