During my heart attack, my heart stopped nine times. A defibrillator was used each time to get it started again. I'm close to five months from the time of my heart attack. I find I sometimes I have a hard time concentrating, can't quite find the words I'm looking for, and I'm forgetful. I'm wondering if the shocks may be the cause of this, if so, is it temporary? If it's not the cause...I have some more searching to do.
your doctor is right your doing well yeah you can have another one but if your doing what he says your likely to be ok kept doing your work outs eat well and rest when needed take meds as prescribe and get check ut by doctor if anything does not seem right
I saw my cardiologist. ...stress test was great, BP is great, cholesterol is where it should be , no diabetes. Sorry, but I don't accept your premise that I have another heart attack on the way. And I hope the same for you! ☺ Good luck. PS....I realize that even with good test results , it doesn't guarantee I won't have another attack, but I'm going in the right direction!
Claudette,
I would look for some more answers as these things sound like another heart attack could be on the way..you need to see your heart doctor and let him know...I feel like its on its way for me too..terrible. sorry. better days ahead for us both.
I Have This Problem Now But Never Had Full On Heart Attack I've A 60% Blocked Right Coronary artery and never been shocked just really bad angina attacks for which they are treating with meds wont fit a stent, unless i have a heart attack But All the symptoms you describe about memory and Finding The Words To Speak Already Are happening To Me And Still Are, But No Help Coming From Nowhere No Understanding Its Like The Things You Know You Can Do In Your Own Mind Has Left You Paralyzed In Some Way.
I know this may sound outrageous, but on May 18th 2013, i had my defibrillator fire off 22 times within 1 1/2 hours! I had to be air lifted to the nearest hospital that had the equipment to turn it off so the doctors could see what the problem was. Turns out that fluid rushed to my lungs and heart within minutes and caused my pulse to raise above the ICD setting. I was sore in my left arm and shoulder for about a month, but it didn't affect my memory and thinking in any way.
