Angina?

[daviesl5000]

Hi,

I had a heart attack 12 weeks ago. Although it was a serious heart attack, reducing my EF to 45%, I bounced back quite quickly.

I got on with my life, building up my exercise regime and shedding weight.

Recently, I've hit a bump in my recovery (see earlier post), which is getting worse.

I've had a dull pain in the middle of my chest for a week now. It "spikes" when moving, especially if bending over or twisting my neck.

I wonder if I now have angina. Do these symptoms sound familiar to anyone with angina?

I feel the same as you and I had heart attack on 25th of July it’s funny how we are same age and my maiden name is Davies I have hospital appointments on Thursday so I’m hoping to sort it out then x

Let us know how you get on and what they say about your chest pains.

I have my three month appointment with the Wythenshaw cardio team a week on Thursday.

In the meantime, I'm supposed to start cardio rehab phase 4 at my local gym *gulp*

Why not give your gym routine a break for a short time and see if your symptoms improve. If they do you will then know the cause. If not then you can resume knowing your problems are not exercise related.
