Warning Order....

[kiwifred]

As we are getting older, and some of us are old..... it's time to get checked more often.
Next time your at the quacks......... ask for a stress test
Its a test to check the heart...... you never know when the pipes might be blocked.
I found out that I have blocked pipes, nothing major yet, find out in a couple of days
Just a heads up...... ask your Doc.....its easy
Be safe

Sounds like a stent maybe on it's way. Blocked pipes , a good analogy.

I know what a triple bypass is like, I had one, and yes it fixed everything up, but it is a bit of a shock when you don't even know the pipes are blocked or getting blocked until you have heart attack, I guess that is what happens when you never go to a Dr because you think they are only looking for something, well you can go more often and be a bit reassured I think, looking back would have been a better move

And that triple bypass was over three years ago now, and yes it takes a fair while to fully get over it, it was 8 or 9 months before I went detecting again and took it a bit careful, and 4 months before I was allowed to drive again so do go see a Dr as age creeps up on you

I had a quadruple bypass 5 years ago. Changed my diet and lost a chunk of weight (should've done that years ago). Had some issues with drug reactions and PTSD, but going OK. Then last year got diagnosed with Myelodysplastic Syndrome (improper white cell production).
If I'd known I would need my body for this long, I would've looked after it a lot better!
