How do you find out if your arteries are choked after you've had a heart attack?

Question

Also, are not being able to breathe symptoms of having your arteries choked?

What I meant was how do you find out how MANY arteries are choked? I know x-rays, so don't say that

I'm pretty sure he had a silent heart attack.

Answer 1

Hi You may have a breathing problem due to your blood count being low.The oxygen the blood carry`s may not be enough to supply you,thus shortness of breath.You may have a loss of blood which was not caught at your attack time.I would speak to your Doctor.Good Luck.

Answer 2

I had breathing difficulty, pressure in chest (like a Buick was parked on it) and had the necessary testing to discover that I had one artery 90% blocked and a second artery 70 blocked. Thus, I have two (2) stents which solved that problem. you should go to a cardiologist, who will test you and give appropriate treatment. Do Not hesitate to do this, it can very likely save your life and give quality back to your life.

Answer 3

You would have an angiogram and/or angioplasty if they find a blockage and they usually do this soon after the heart attack is diagnosed. Sometimes, not being able to breathe is a sign of the damage to the heart and its inability to pump as strongly as it once did.

Answer 4

if you have a heart attack, you have it BECAUSE your arteries are blocked, the trick is to either open them up with a stent, or balloon angioplasty, or have bypass surgery.
Difficulty breathing, by itself, is not an indication of heart problems.

Answer 5

the only way to tell if your arties are blocked is to have a heart cath done,i know because 5 monthes ago i had bypass surgery
