At the age of 46 out of the blue I had Chest 'Ache' on exertion after being in denial for 3 days and fear and on point of collapse I went to the GP, had ECG confirmed Angina after angiogram was told had 2 narrowings, 6 weeks later I had extensive stenting (3 plus a further vessel that he could not put a stent in) I was 99% blocked and lucky not to have had a heart attack, It was a frightening time of my life, I was given great treatment, advice and support, and now after a year and a cocktail of drugs I carry on with a normal life I know i carry Heart disease for the rest of my life, and know to 'Listen to my body' We walk miles, and go to a local Heart support group monthly meetings and weekly exercise, I work in a care home and colleagues are aware of my condition, So basically dont delay going for advice and 'Listen to your body' The treatment of Heart disease is improving all the time, and there is support available to help you through it, joan
