Fears

Should I be fearful, afraid of getting another heart attack – what can I do to make sure that does not happen. If I am physically active, and I eat well – but I have a fear that it may strike again.  When I have aches, pains and fatigue – how do I know when to go to the hospital, as I don’t want to go for everything, however, I don’t want to miss something, so how do I know?

Since women have so many different symptoms – I fear that I may not have the same symptoms as before. There are a lot of what ifs. I know as women we tend to dismiss things, we also say OMG not today, as I am doing whatever, because we know when we go into the hospital you are there for at least day/night waiting for the results of blood test/ECG. I also understand better safe than sorry – but again you can’t run to the hospital every time – that is my fear.
