I had a SCAD heart attack in Oct 2024. It was a total shock. I am very active and eat well. My LAD was 99% blocked. Fortunately I didn’t have to get a stent. They also diagnosed FMD and a brain aneurysm. I got a mesh device inserted into the aneurysm last month. I am doing cardiac rehab which is very helpful. I am sorry that you have had to go through this. ❤️

Hi.
Had my scad attack in august last year and a same development as you. Just learned about the aneurysms a couple of weeks ago. Except from the one behind my right eye I also have one in my kidney and one in my spleen. I also have symptoms of FMD but that is still not confirmed. I also have a severe chronic migraine which complicates the scad healing. Had to stop working and have just sold my company. Life may throw you some curve balls now and then. It’s all about how we catch them. For me yoga and meditation has become increasingly important and together with daily walks it helps me stay calm. The aneurysms is concerning me. I’m seeing the neurologist next month
Hopefully I will not need surgery. Hoping for a speedy recovery for you. Take care. ❤️
