I Still Have Chest Pain And Sweats, Please Suggest Me How To Get Rid Of These

I had the widow maker heart attack 3weeks now and I still have chest pain and sweats. could it be from the meds I seem to feel fine for two or three days and thin I wake up and feel like crap all day long. I will get dizzy, have quick sharp pains in my chest, break out in a sweat and don t seem to be able to breathe that well. I have been back to the hospital where they kept me there 3 days and turned me out. I don t have insurance and I can t seem to get any answers to my questions. Could the meds I m taking be doing this to me? I read that after the stint was put in I would feel better then I have in a long time...It s been 3 weeks now and that has NOT happened yet. Has anybody else been through this ? If so PLEASE email me.

I am sure you have been told that you are extremely lucky to have survived the deadly 'widow maker lesion' and have had the rare chance of having had a stent put in in time. The medications prescribed by your cardiologists are your life line and ,under no circumstances , you should doubt them or think of doing a self modification; this latter may be deadly. For any symptom you should consult your cardiologists as they know your heart better. Hope this answers your question.
