I'm 67 Year Old Female With Hypertension As My Only
I'm 67 year old female with hypertension as my only health problem. I take an ARB for it and keep it under control. Last week, I had a non-ST altering MI with subsequent cath. 100% block in RCA. Stented with Resolute eluting stent. I understand that my leg will be sore from the procedure for several days. I seem to feel more fatigued after the procedure than I did before. My MI sx were pain between the scapula and sub-xiphoid pain. No vomiting, shortness of breath or sweating. I thought I had a gallbladder attack. My troponin I peaked at 7.5 then began to drop. My question is how long should I feel fatigued and weak before calling the cardiologist's office. I really don't want to become a cardiac cripple and look forward to getting on with my life. BTW my echo showed 70% EF, slight mitral regurgitation but no muscle damage. I have a ton of collateral circulation, so I'm sure that's why my MI wasn't more damaging.
