Have recently had a heart attack. A blocked artery was the culprit. Have had a stent inserted. I used my med. alarm thinking I had food poisoning which had me at the toilet four times with excruciating belly ache. As I waited for help I had this crushing feeling from my head to my chest.
Turned out I had had a heart attack and as I asked for help quickly there was no damage. Quite astonished as there was no pain as such. It was an enlightening experience and the blood thinners and asprin and heart meds etc. have me coping apart from my arms and legs being battered and bruised and a sight to behold. The heat pump causes a struggle with breath shortage so I have a dehumidifier going as well. A fan heater has no effect on my breathing though. Any one have some thoughts on this. I go to the outpatients in a week for a check up. so hope for some education about it.
