How Long After A Heart Attack Do You Stop Thinking Every Chest Pain Is Another Attack?

February 11th, 2010 by admin Leave a reply »

Had a stint placed after a heart attack near two years ago after an allergic reaction caused the heart attack, complete respiratory failure and near a month in critical condition, I am 45 and still dealing with the thoughts of dying and every small muscle twinge being another heart attack … Cardiologist says everything is PERFECT but does not seem to help.

    what you describe is common, you might benefit from some cognitive behavioral therapy.

    First of all I want to tell you that I do care. I was lucky I had a 99% blockage but did not have a heart attack, I received a stent. Then three weeks later I started having a burning sensation in my chest back to surgery for another stent on a 80% blockage. That was almost three years ago, Iam better now but I still worry if I will have an attack. Just try and relax, I know it’s hard, in fact I had the ER doctor to tell me I was behaving as a cardiac cripple because I had my first stent put in three before the second one so how could I be having chest burning. Trust your feeling. Hope you learn how to cope it takes time but honestly I don’t think you really ever forget you just accept. God Bless you and good health to you

    i think you should talk to your doctor about other symptoms that can be seen as a heart attack, like when the pain travels to your back and arm….its all about learning what pains can be troublesome
