To everyone who mentions the fear of dying. I have this awful fear as well and think about it most of the time.
Whenever I get a stomach ache (sometimes happens with females before a heart attack) or chest pain I am sure it is a heart attack and really expect to die. Also at the moment I am getting pains down the right side of my stomach in different places. Despite an ultrasound no reason has been found so far

Do we have control over this? “Although NHS guidelines tell doctors to treat only the artery which caused the attack, ........?
The procedure, known as preventative angioplasty, has been shown to cut the risk of death and other serious complications by two thirds. At present, patients undergo an emergency operation called an angioplasty immediately after the attack when doctors insert a thin tube – a stent – into the blocked

Acetylcysteine - anyone taking it?
I have been prescribed Acetylcysteine to help 'liquify' my chest! Apparently to thin out what might be deep in y chest and hard to cough up. Does anyone else take this and if so, what are the effects? I sometimes feel like I'm going to choke when my chest is loose as I cough so much but it won't come

Stroke risk
Reading some of this forum has made me quite worried about stroke risk. My EP seems confident that I am ok on aspirin and I have taken the online stroke risk test and I come out zero. Bot the opinion on here seems to be that we all should be on warfarin, Is this the case or does my age (50) and

TACE
Well it will be soon to have another procedure (TACe) and you could sayit took me about 2 weeks to get over it because of the pain at the last minute of procedure. I had to have an Echo on heart prior and wonder if one has this test just before having the TACE??? on each occasion.

Should I be concerned?
I am 69 with cholesterol level 6 and fairly low blood pressure which the GP says is very good. Both my younger brothers have recently had stents inserted and I am concerned that I may be at risk as my dad died with a heart attack at 69. I do not have any chest pain but I do get unusually tired often,

Any ideas on a suitable job for someone having emphysema and coronary heart disease?
Hello. I am new to here. I have been looking on the Internet for a few weeks and have pretty much gone round in circles. I'm 47. Recently had a CT scan only to be informed I have emphysema. I read a bit of info on the GPs computer screen, it said severe centrilobular emphysema. She moved the screen before
