Heart Attack Support Group
Heart attack is a serious, sudden heart condition usually characterized by varying degrees of chest pain or discomfort, weakness, sweating, nausea, vomiting, and arrhythmias, sometimes causing loss of consciousness. It occurs when the blood supply to a part of the heart is interrupted, causing death and scarring of the local heart tissue.
Please can someone help me? I'm terrified. My lovely husband had a heart attack this morning. He went to hospital with a chest pain and pain in his arm. They did ECG and bloods. He was waiting for blood results. He went to the loo and collapsed in there. They had to get in and do CPR and resuscitate. He had angiagram and the a stent put in due to a clogged artery. I'm so scared that I almost lost him and terrified that I will lose him now if this happens again. They say they caught it fairly early. I wonder if anyone else has had this crippling fear? I'm so emotional and feel very alone. Please advise.
The doctors know what's happened and will do extensive testing and make sure they fix the problem to reduced the risk of repeats.
I had a major heart episode 11 years ago today and they determined I had experienced multiple heart attacks due to the amount of damage, yet here I am 11 years later and still annoying my bride.
Relax, the worst is over. He'll get his repairs and a Cardiologist will monitor him regularly so he should be fine.
Make sure he follows doctors orders, his treatment rehimen, and goes to Cardiac rehab when the Cardiologist says its okay. Just don't let him become an invalid by over compensating. Exercise is far better for him than sitting around.
Good luck
