Well it all went tits-up for me 12 days ago.
Can't remember if I've already mentioned, but I had a quad bypass following a heart attack, 8 years ago.
Went to the docs 13 days ago, generally feeling odd in the upper body but also my BP was high 165/110. Despite my previous history she wasn't unduly worried and suggested a blood test (possible virus).
Anyway I wake up in the early hours of Wednesday to go for a pee and think I know what this pain in my chest is. Ambulance to the hospital and blood tests confirm I've had a heart attack.
One thing and another plus weekend resulted in it being Monday before I had an angiogram.
The good news was that that grafts put in 8 years earlier were as good as new. The bad news was that they couldn't find the cause of the MI (probably due to the time taken and the blood thinning drugs) and there was new damage to the left side of my heart.
At home taking things easy, waiting for the call for the rehab classes.
Take care out there guys!
