      From Maggy December 19, 2007

      Hi voyager2000, I read the discussion board, "Welcome" this is a "great" site, I have been here for at least a year, have gotten some really awesome support, and made some very dear friends. I hope the same for you. Nothing better than talking to someone who know's exactly what you are talking about. This hugs for you and take care.

    • Close Heart Attack

      Hi, I started having chest and arm cramps( I later discovered this was Angina) I was sat in the house, then I started to get heartburn, it got worse and was from my stomach leading up into my jaw. I realised this was not just cramps so I called 999 for an ambulance.It was when I was actually in the hospital emergency room that I had my heart attack, I was given a thromolyte drug to bust the clot, then 5 days later I had a stent fitted in my right coronory artery. Next day I was sent home

      Treatments

      Angiogram Working / Worked
      nothing much to describe, I was taken into the theatre, lay on a table and had a tube inserted through my wrist, they fed this through to my heart then injected some sort of dye into my bloodstream, they found the damaged/blocked artery and fitted a stent.
      Aspirin Working / Worked
      I take 15mg tab a day to thin blood
      Oxygen Working / Worked
      I had this in the ambulance and for a short while in hospital
      Stents Working / Worked
      seems to be working as I have not had any pains or angina since this was fitted
      Zocor Working / Worked
      I take 40mg at night to lower my cholestrol, its working fine as my count was 10.6 before the heart attack, now it's 4.3
      Valium Working / Worked
      I take 15mg a day to help with my depression, works ok
    • Close Depression

      I started having depression about 15 years ago in 1992, I was given Prozac, that worked a first but I think I got immune to it as the depression got worse, I went through a whole list of SSRI's but they all didn't work for me, In the end they put me on 30mg of Mitrazapine about 6 months ago, this ones seems great as I feel much better now.

      Treatments
