Hmmm stress test on Wed :-/

[Billet YZ]

Hope you're all good John. My theory is that we're given a "finite" number of heartbeats at birth & it's in all our best interests to keep fit as possible to keep our resting heartbeats as low as possible. Once you use your heartbeats up it's all over! My resting heart rate at 53  is 46BPM (same as when I was 25 playing football), so if my theory works I should last longer than someone of the same age who's heart rate is 80bpm (barring a life ending accident). No science here, just a theory & a bit of motivation to continue to exercise to keep fit enough, for long enough, to do the things I want to.

Fark good theory Mick,
                                   but i have witnessed you trying hard to stop your heart beat several times over the last few years. Remember what i call those Huskys, they're bad for your health. 

Hope all goes to plan John.

I hope it all went well John!

Hope all went well mate.
The thing is with blockages in the heart muscle arteries they sneak up on you over a long time. You might not even know about them until they are like 95% blocked.
If you get warning signs then great, dont ignore them and you get a chance to get checked out. Not everyone gets the chance.
I was noticing something wrong and ended up with a stent put in, that was a few years ago now. Blood pressure and cholesterol are all good now  and I have a stress test each year.
We are aging males and that makes us the number one candidates.

If I only knew whats waiting on the other side , that really would help my planing 

Plan on there being no "other side".
Get it done now. (Especially if it's fun)
You can't go wrong.

Adults with imaginary friends are delusional at best.
IMHO (And the opinion of science, evidence and common sense.

Thanks for your thoughts & advice chaps.  I had my run on the dyno; heart is good, also had radiation injection / xray with heart at flat-out & idle; they didn't slap me straight into hospital so I figure I'm safe for now, I have a meeting with the specialist on the 27th of this month; see how that goes.

That's good news John, twice I've gone for a checkup and been whisked into the coronary care unit : best avoided ! 

[Tony.Brown]
