I had my attack in November last year, non smoking, low salt and fat diet, not much drinking these days and it still happened. I was fortunate enough to be near Britain's best heart hospital at Papworth when it happened, got one stent. Was taken home 4 days later by a friend, and at 04:30, got more pain and a 2nd stent locally.
Recovery was slow but accelerated, now I can walk hard and fast for an hour and the only thing I really need at the end of it is a shower. Mind you, all the tablets you have to take make you rattle a bit as you go.
