Question: Two fast questions: I am an American who had a heart attack about a month ago in Macau. I was hospitalized for 12 days and doctors put two stents in my Lad Artery. I still feel weak at times. How long will it take until I feel normal again? The following question is a little more difficult to explain. My heart attack was in Macau, which is far away from my home in Henan province in mainland China were I teach English. Anyway, yesterday I went to a hospital in my home city to buy generic heart meds because the meds prescribed in Macau are too expensive. Anyway, while at the hospital the cardiologist apparently did not understand that I had a heart attack a month before. I had a major language barrier even though a student was translating for me. The Chinese doctor had an ECG done on me. The ECG showed a myocardial infarction and abnormal heart conditions. The doctors said that i should be immediately hospitalized and that my life was in danger. However, I explained, using an electronic translator, that I had a heart attack a month earlier. She seemed to understand and indicated that the recent heart attack was still reflected in the ECG results. So, she seemed to indicate that hospitalization wasn't now necessary, and I went home. So, is that correct? An ECG will continue to show abnormalities for a while during the recovery phase? I just want to make certain that I do not have a new big problem. Thanks much. Jerry Urban.
