my name is Carol i had a massive heart attack on 22 april 2008 i have 3 kids and was married at the time, my husband decided he couldn't cope so assaulted me i got him arrested and i asked him to leave the maritol home, i was left with 3 boys aged 17 14 and 11 omg all teenagers, life has been difficult alot of why me i was heathly and enjoying most of my life i am still not back at work as i still get chest pains not sure if thats normal after a heart attack or not ..... as many of you know the meds are the worst thing as i am not use to taking so many meds... meds for blood pressure meds for high cholestrial and so on ....i had just turned 40 when i had my heart attack i am annoyed that i can't do the things i use to do as i get so outta breath, i am now scared to go out incase it happens again i have now moved into a rented house with my youngest son and feel now he has the responsibilty of me at such a young age. I am now sinking into depression and my doctor wants me to start taking ani-depressants which i don;t really want to take as when i add extra medication to the medication i am already taking it makes my chest pains worse, so on that note if you haven't fallen asleep i would like to thankyou for reading and letting me join this forum

Many thanks

Carol

i seem to worry about worry lol my new partner is such a support and is very understanding he tries to take pressure off me but i then worry that it might be to much for him my son who is with me laughs and jokes and tries to keep my spirits up by telling me he loves me and that i am a good mum, when i look back to 18 months ago to now i am amazed how far i have come but i still feel low and depressed i sit here and cry because of the way i feel, i am going to see my gp on thurs and am gonna have a chat with her and see wot else there is in the support network so far they have offered nothing.

regards

Carol
