minor heart attack at 36

[Asmokes1]

hi,

I was playing football one afternoon and experience chest pain and to my suprise I was having a minor heart attack. I had 95% blockage on my artery and had a ballon angioplasty procedure. I am really worried and I scared for the future even though doctors have advised if I stick to my meds and make lifestyle changes I should go on to live a normal life but I can’t keep stop worrying.

The chest pain has also gone but I do get some abdominal pain which I feel is side effects of the drugs or could be IBS. Anything comments or experiences shared would be much appreciated.
