History
|
I was admitted with severe chest pain, shortness of breath
and feeling sweaty. I was quickly diagnosed of a heart attack and treated
with stents in two of my arteries. I am being discharged on lots of
medication but am unsure of the exact names. I will find difficult to
remember which ones to take. I insist on some NHS carers to give me my
tablets 3 times per day. If directly asked, I actually want them for company
as I am quite lonely since my wife died. Otherwise I am quite sure I will
manage with everything. I want to quit smoking and would like some advice.
