I’m 53. I was diagnosed with CHD earlier this year. I’m being treated with medication as I have severe disease in the LAD and moderate disease in the others. My cardiologist said it’s difficult to stent hence I’m being managed by medication only. My heart is working at the lower limit of normal as confirmed by my MRI in the summer.
I was admitted to hospital last week with chest heaviness and breathlessness, which are new symptoms, and an elevated troponin of 25. I was discharged home with no treatment and I have contacted my cardiologist to advise of this change, but no response.
I’m worried I’ve gone into heart failure and I’m in a panic and have a sense of doom.
if you’ve read this far - thank you. I just wondered if anyone has any advice, although I do realise only my cardiologist can diagnose.
