What Treatment Needs To Be Taken For Border Line Heart Attack?

Hi, My name is Dinorah and I experienced for the third time this week tightness of the throat, sweating (clammy) chest and arm pain and the symptons were different from my first heart attack where it started on the side of my head/face and then chest pain and left arm and the sweating. I flew to Adelaide two years ago and got a stent for blocked artery. I am scared as I have being taking to hospital two weeks again with pains again same symptons and was told at the hospital that I had borderline heart attack. I do not understand this as after 7 days in hospital I get my heart specialist at the NT CARDIAC Pty Ltd. I am only 49 years old prior to having my first heart attack I had spent quite a few visits to the hospital only to be told my heart was perect after ecg but it was not as two weeks later I had a heart attack and was in Royal Darwin Hospital for 3 days and they flew me on a little plane directly to Adelaide emergency and had the stent. Please help me about what I should do as I am really scared.

Thankyou

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, you have history of stenting, and now you experiencing the chest pain, and you scared that this could be heart attack again, to rule out this the first test you need to get done is EKG test, then comes ECO and last is Angiography, these are for sure clear the doubts, beside this saying borderline attack is very slang word, hope this information helps you, take care and have good luck.
