I’m new here - How did you recover from a heart attack at 52 years old
I’m 52, exercise regularly and eat an ok diet. I had a heart attack this week whilst cycling. Had a stent fitted and need another one in two weeks. This has really shocked me and I’m pretty frightened of what the future holds. What do I need to do to get back to some normality?

play harmonica with a good heart
Fit as a fiddle til 51 when the bad genes from Mum and Dad kicked in. They both smoked and Dad had TB & Rheumatic fever as a lad, so he was suddenly carried away by a heart attack aged 51 and she ended up with a teflon aorta ten years later. I was surprised as I was a cyclist and kept very fit, stopped

Uncomfortable after stents
My husband had a heart attack at the beginning of November and had an emergency stent fitted. He then had 2 more fitted as a planned procedure. Since then he has had a few episodes of an uncomfortable feeling in his chest, completely different to the heart attack, but which have resulted in hospital
