Had NSTEMI thirty months ago and seven stents. Had dissection during procedure. Never had chest pain prior to this but never without since. My 3rd cardiologist discharged me after scan result Now 2 months after the scan I am experiencing angina with pain ]in chest, stomach and back on even moderate exertion. Also having increasing SOB as well and swollen feet and sometimes ankles. I am also having very strange pulse readings the highest to date being 245 bpm and 187 bpm during sleep. There have also been lows in the 40s and 50s. I told the cardiologist and he blamed the watches app. He has not informed my GP of any of these new developments. I dont know who to turn to and inspite of a nursing background cannot understand it. I am an 81 yr old female and dont look it. Can you please help, I am despersate for answerd. Thanks.

Hello, maybe you could try going direct to your GP for their opinion. I have seen people on here referring to different health care professionals very different opinions of apps with many taking the results seriously but some dismissing them. You could try asking for a second opinion or go to PALS service if you think you have not been properly assessed or treated. Good luck with everything and let us know how you get on.
