Hello I have just had a heart attack…I do not smoke I run reg at the gym. I am a mother. I class myself as very fit!! So you can imagine how shocked i am.. I had angioplasty surgery 24 hours after this…which immediately stopped the chest pain I was experiencing, they insterted a stent. It is 2 weeks since now and I feel fine, I am building my life back to normal. I would recommend anyone to have this done if your doctors suggests it, if you also suffer from a blocked artery.
