Fainting
Hi I’m 48 and had a heart attack, 1 stent and diagnosed with diffuse CAD in July last year. Prior to that the only symptoms I had were multiple fainting episodes and esophagus pain. I had loads of coronary tests done that all came back ok with no abnormalities. I was then discharged from cardiology
