9 months ago I thought I was having a heart attack

I was woken at 1am with chest pain and asked myself, “I wonder what a heart attack feels like”
I finally went to the doctor 2 days ago. An ECG showed that I did in fact have a heart attack.
The ECG showed - “minor inferior repolarisation disturbance secondary to infarct”

Explanation - This phrase suggests the bottom wall of your heart, which previously suffered a heart attack (infarct), is now experiencing minor electrical instability (repolarization disturbance). It indicates that the scar tissue is altering the normal electrical recovery of the heart muscle.

That sounds scary. I'm glad you're okay. What are the next steps?

@Mindful Monitoring and possible stents if required. High cholesterol has been the problem.
