Title: Heart attack
Post by: nuts on December 09, 2012, 01:38:00 PM
Last Monday an ECG showed I had had a heart attack in the past months.  Straight to hospital (we have a fantastic public hospital system in Australia) and a stent inserted in partially blocked artery.  Now back home and recovering quickly although I've got take it easy for a month or so (can't drive for two weeks!!).  The worst part was I couldn't shave for a few days and it was a relief to take the razor to my head and make it smooth again.

Good to hear that's you're on the mend.

I can relate to the few days of shaving skipped. Been down with flu this past week and did not feel like shaving. But got a complete head shave this morning before church. Ahhh!

Man, a lot of hair grows in just 7 days! I had to get the clippers out first, then shave!

I'm sorry to hear about this, but at least it sounds like it was a mild one.  Take it easy and do everything the doctors tell you and I'm sure everything will be fine.  My dad had a heart attack about 3 1/2 years ago.  It was worse than what yours sounds like because there wasn't any doubt about what was going on.  He got two stents and it took him a good while to get back to normal, but eventually he did.   I'm sure you will, too.   Take care.

Thanks everyone.  I really do feel fine but have to be careful until the heart tells me it has recovered.  I just hope it doesn't stop me travelling (no doubt the travel insurance companies will have me as a marked man).  At least it hasn't affected my ability to shave my head!

I wouldn't worry about the traveling. It hasn't stopped my dad.

Be sure to take co-enzyme Q 10  capsules, 100mg twice a day. It rebuilds heart cells. Fantastic anti oxident and great for the heart. Everyone should take it. Check the research on line. All best.

Hey nuts, definitely take it easy mate. Lucky you are in Australia, we have a really good system here. Hopefully that heart sorts itself out and you aren't on meds for the rest of your life

They will probably want you on a blood thinner of some kind. Shouldn't be a problem.

Hey Nuts, I hope you're feeling better, just so you can feel better, my Grandfather had 2 full heart bypass surgeries with valve replacements and he lived to a ripe old age!

Thanks to everyone for your thoughts.  Went back to my GP today and recovery well on track.  Can't drive for another week and you forget how dependent you are on a car.  Should be back on the tennis court/gym within a month.
