LadyT,
I had a heart attack, so that’s why they tested me.

They think I had micro vascular disease of my heart. It’s really hard to diagnose.

Whew! I’m glad you were already tested. The classic symptoms of a heart attack waiting to happen is chest tightness and pain in arms. Ask them to test your NT-proBNP. It could possibly be amyloidosis.💕
