Hello, I am new to this group as from today my dad was diagnosed with coronary heart disease. He had an angiogram and was told he may need either a stent or bypass procedure as two arteries are narrowed. I am very worried about all this as it has been very sudden his chest pains. He is very unmotivated

Hi, new here
On 16 November I went to a&e with what I thought was indigestion and 2 hours later I had a massive heart attack that stopped my heart, I woke to see people gathered around me saying it stopped for a minute and they shocked me to bring me back. Flown to John Radcliffe by air ambulance for an LAD stent
