my husband went through pretty much the same thing you have,except for waiting 4 hours he waited 24 an now has 45% of heart dead.he had his first heart attack at 38 an was turned down for disibility.you get you a good lawyer an go after it,dont let them do this to you.i dont know if you had a lawyer do it for you or not,but we had to get one for him an they will fight an only get paid if they win. first get a new doctor and if possible a new heart dr. keep looking until you get one worth a crap an tell them that you need disability an if they are any good they will help with the paper work,i know its hard,talk toyour wife an let her know how you feel(if you havent already) believe me,depression is easier when you talk about it,i have been through it myself, i had to get disability an they gave me a hard time about it,so i went the mental route,an got it.(just something to think about,if you wanna go that route)i hope you get a understanding dr an i hope things get better for you.

Hi, I'm sorry to hear about your heart condition, especially at such a young age.
Can you give us a few more details please, like which artery was stented, which area of the heart has dead tissue and if you know it, the ejection percentage of the left ventricle. This is usually given from an echo scan.
I dont know where you live, but if I was you I would change to a different GP. I had to do exactly that to get the right backup. In the UK, you would be entitled to social security benefits and due to your discomforts after walking such a short distance, Disability living allowance and carers allowance.
