Update! Had NSTEMI in November and no blockages on Angiogram..Coronary Artery Spasm likely culprit was told. Saw cardiologist on Tuesday who reviewed all tests and said LAD has slight atheroma so more likely to have been a blockage that cleared before Angiogram was done..probably thanks to rapid arrival of paramedics. Lucky girl! Breathless has persisted since so he stopped Ticagrelor and gave me Clopidgrelor? ..What a difference! Feel almost normal !! 😁 Enjoyed my walk in the cold clear day with no stops to catch my breath!!
Hang in there heart warriors!!

Glad to hear you have some clarification of why you had your heart attack.
Have you been prescribed any medication to help prevent any further coronary vasospasms?
As well as calcium channel blockers and nitrates, I am on clopidogrel for life and a statin to help prevent a small piece of plaque being dislodged by my frequent episodes of coronary vasospasms.
