Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Sorry to hear of the trouble you had. In fact having a heart attack is concerning even if first attack. A second d attacked must be taken seriously and this may indicate that the risk factors were not well controlled. As your BP was still very high. I think you should stick hardly to the advice of a cardiologist to avoid such events in future as that can be serious.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mahboob Ur Rahman
