I'm suddenly feeling so much better about my extra 6 kilos. :twisted:
My dad's side of the family has a history of hear attacks. All my uncles, almost all my (dead) cousins (Except for one - Landmine in Angola)
A year ago i was feeling a bit off, went to the doctor. The susual sinusitus/bronchitis. But my chest was also sore, so he had his one nurse take a eeg(ecg?). She looked at the readings, excused herself and left the room. A minute later he's in there, his face all ashen.
'Are you feeling ok?' Stethoscope on my chest, measure my pusle.
Seems my chart looked like a heart attack. But I was feeling great.
So I make an appointment with a cardiologist. Turns out my heart is fine, no blockages, valve defects. But I do have what's called a 'Complete Left Branch Bundle Block'. Seems there is a blockage in my nervous system on the one side of my heart. Think faulty hub or router. Its not dangerous, just part of the signal is delayed, making my heart beat a bit wierd.
According to him it will never trouble me, as long as I don't do something stupid like run the Comrades. Which I solemly promised not to do.
As a aside - he told me all the cardio needed every day is 3km of walking. I'm working on it.
