The H1N1 Flu and Heart Disease
Monday October 19, 2009
Is the H1N1 flu more dangerous in people with heart disease? The answer is the same as it is for "regular" influenza - Yes.
If you have heart disease, you need to take precautions to reduce your chances of getting the H1N1 flu, and if you get sick, you need to know what to do. Read about H1N1 and heart disease here.
I am having difculty taking deep breath with tightness consticting and causing pain from the bottom of my breast up to my neck when I lay down shortness of breath with history of high blood pressure which is controled by meds
Get to an ER! (If you haven’t already)
Last year I had a severe heart attack, which left me with 40% function, and thought I’d carry on running and completed 2 21km/half marathons in a couple of months, only to be told by my Cardiologist that I had lost a further 5% which brought my heart rate function down to 35%. So I was told to stop the running, and rather walk and some golf. Now I am getting chest pains and wonder if I’m heading for the final curtain call???!!!!
