They can be confused ,but I have had indigestion from being a teenager.
The Heart Attack was like very bad indigestion.
No crushing pain but a white hot burning sensation in the middle of my chest
the size of a teacup rim.
I walked through it.
Several of the many drugs prescribed can not be used with indigestion remedies.So the pains worsen .
Today The Heart Nurse was satisfied with my BP,did not comment on the ECG
but I feel she would have had it been abnormal.
She did say before looking at the leaflet re one eye drop in particular ,that reports were coming through that it says “causes angina and chest pains worsen!”
We will see when the next test is done.
This time it won’t be in the scanner as last time at Withenshaw Hospital,
I hated that, in a long time , to see if I could have a by pass.
But no, not suitable ,this time to see how my heart behaves under stress I think.
I feel quite satisfied , GP will phone me when she has the report from today.
Thanks for your concern, it is an odd picture ,quite atypical, but to go 11 years being pretty well, then a worsening which is coinciding with new medication reported as giving the symptoms I have ,well it needed investigation and that is being done.
Cheerio and thanks again ,it is very kind of you.Viktoria.
PS my eldest son has the same symptoms and not had a heart attack ,much investigation but after many months no firm conclusions drawn.
He was taken off a plane January 2020 ,and heart attack suspected ,rushed to hospital but no, allowed to fly a few days later.
Has been investigated for over a year now with no definite diagnosis .
Has has a gadget down his gullet to monitor the peristalsic action of his oesophagus ,all normal.However severe chest pains, jaw,neck,shoulder and Rt arm pains .Just like angina !
But it is not!
W are a right pair!
