I'm a female bodybuilder and the same for me but 14 mths on I'm back to doing my usual training ..I also had a massive heart attack and 1 stent fitted ...only 45...but after 9 mths you should be feeling better have you told your cardiologist how ur feeling? I've just had my meds changed as I'm doing so well...if I was you I wld demand they do a full investigation
Started feeling better after only a few weeks. Got back on the bike and had a few anxiety problems 😩. Back doing 20 miles and resistance training feeling ok. HR 45. Bp 110 / 60. Had a chest infection in January. Since then pins and needles left hand. Bp creeping up. Light headed when HR taken to 120. Waves of breathlessness. Nothing like I had before the heart attack just not quite right. 😳
Thats over 6 mo ths ago dude.... when younsay feel drewdful... what do you mean??? I had.my attack in october last year... same as you 1 stent fitted.... but feel great now....???
Hi similar for me, 56 and just got back from a run when pain in chest hit. What our cases prove is that you cannot outrun/train a bad diet. I decided to find out all I could about heart disease as it was clear that I was getting very little information from the Cardio and doctors. I have been blogging about my findings as a way of note taking since at
Hi yeah had mine nearly a year ago and still getting used to the fact that my body has gone through a massive change. I was 48 at the time at the time I must admit I thought how the he'll am I going to get though this. But after the first 6 months it gets easier saying that I've just come off the blood thin tablets so now just down to taking 4 tablets a day but there is nothing to say you can't go back to what you use to do. Just don't push yourself as much and oobviously eat the right foods I. E lots of vegetables and fruit.
Take care.
Hi Frankiemaggs , i really feel sorry to hgear that you are feeling dreadful- you are young , 46 yrs old , i too had stents 3 ,fitted in 2016 , only a little longer ago than you , mine wasApril 23rd , all was weel the first 8 weeks,until my stomach started hurting so bad it prevented me eating proprly , hence losing over 3 stones in weight , , I ended up having several tests, scans ect , all came back negative,nothing wrong ,so my doctor came to the conclusion , my meds were having badside affects and withdrew 2 of them, plus a statin, i now take Perindopril ,Bisoprolol , Clopidogrel ,,Asprin, but sad tosay my stomach is still not right- , now have to be careful in what i eat,never had before being on meds ,fit as a fiddle mind you i am79 years of age , but still walk 3 to 4 miles a day without getting out of breath , ,i hope to hear that you are feeling better soon, x Gill .
Yes waiting on scan results maybe expecting to much. Waiting for the weather to break to get back out on the bike. Probably all I'm my head, but I ignored symptoms last year and continued to push myself. Doctors tommrrow keep you informed 😁🚴🏼♀️💔🚁
