Just so you know. I had a heart attack on 12th March @ 6 am

Posted by Allan Campbell on March 27, 2023, 11:28:58

I have never heard from anyone what they went through.

After the heart attack which started to fade after 10-15 min. I got up and woke Ann. While she contacted my daughter next door I showered and took my morning tablet. I think I may have had a bit of cereal and then off to Harrogate A&E and there by 7.30.

30 min to triaged and then into a small side ward, after all wired up taken up to the heart unit. Tests after tests.

The first important test is bloods where they look for the enzymes that indicate a heart attack ( I think they only remain in the blood system for a short while)

I was taken to the LGI in Leeds for 11am on the Tuesday 14th.and had 3 stents fitted by 1 pm. Your rest for 6 hours then your sent home, I taken home by family.

I get a check phone call today and visit the Hospital at the end of April.

How am I OK. But it’s just as well that I was reasonably fit.

I will write more later so you know what may happen but each of us is different so it’s only my personal thing.

Going out to do minor garden work.

It's good you are up and about and sounding positive don't do too much, little steps and build from there. Good luck with your recovery.

Gosh, as Brian said, don’t do to much. Very best wishes that you will continue to improve in health. The NHS always seem to come up trumps when needed, think goodness.

You told me about it privately Allan & I sent you my best wishes and told you to take life easier. You need to admit your middle aged now (like I tell my grand kids and they laugh.

)

Allan it's essential you slow down now like I did after my stroke. OK if you get results to allow some light work. Meanwhile,it may be hard to do if you're on the go like me,but taking it easy isn't easy but safer! Meanwhile good luck and hopefully you'll be back to normal.

I've had a couple too, and what seems to be a mini stroke about 8 years ago..............just take things easy and relax............plan your holidays well in advance to make certain you are fit enough for the journey.............. I'm planning a Kumano Kodo pilgrimage Hike through Japan and a Climb to the top of Mount Fuji.........all you have to do is know your limitations.....as for me, I'm too stupid to understand the word ""limitations""

Strange innit.
What's in your genes.
Plenty of deaths in my family of Industrial diseases such a Lung Cancer COPD Asthma and Asbestosis.
Not one heart attack I can find in my history
My lot like me seem to suffer prolonged Deliberating diseases needing deffibulators morphine etc
Wish my mother had died in 1963 of a quick death at age 38 not going blind her lungs full of asbestos.
My younger sister getting a blockage in her main Aorta coughing to death with asthma in 1980 age 20 (no inhalers then
My older brother out of the Air Force suffering mental troubles no help of the likes of SSAFA jumpimg in front of a Metro in 1986
I am suffering from severe COPD and struggling with this polluted country
People say oh he smoked I haven't smoked fo years
People say but you did
I worked in the filth of industry

My Heart is 100% tested today but my lungs are buggered and no cancer?

What do I do I pray I have a major heart attack in bed or even in the street but no my heart is still strong

Just like the rest of my lot suffer a prolonged death

Give me dying quick in my sleep or alone on the street any day I have had my 3 score years and 10 and 70 will not come again

Lucky are those who die in there sleep
