Been away from this board for a week due to a bit of a Wobbly time.

The Saturday before last just before i was due to go out, I started getting these severe pains in my chest and shooting pains down my left arm. Then I started seeing stars and couldn't breath properly. I was in absolute agony. I'd been having chest pains all week but thought nothing of it :roll:

Anyhow, my missus bundles me into the car and we fly down to A&E - i honestly thought it was a heart attack, reallr really really fcking scary. I'm not a dramatic person, but I wasn't confident of my chances at that point.Can't really explain how i felt, but it was like I was going and i couldn't stop it from happening.

In A&E i was put onto a oxygen mask and had loads of jabs and tubes and bleepers on me.While i was there the bloke in the next cubicle had a cardiac arrest and unfortunatley wasn't so lucky as me.

I spent a few days in hospital. I was finally diagnosed as having an inflamed heart due to an injury brought on by vigourous physical exertion the previous week. (Damn those little blue diamond shaped fellas.)

I couldn't walk all last week as i couldn't get my breath. Back on my feet (and back at work but taking it easy).

It was, without exception, the scariest experience i've ever had.

And I've been Es Paradis.
 
Scary shit! 8O

Hope you recover ok! ;)

So was it the physical exertion that caused your ticker to inflame or the little blue things?
 
8O Woah! Scary! Hope you feel better now :)

Mark do you smoke or anything? Or are you in quite bad physical shape? Just wondering if it was a mixture of everything that brought on your problems, or was it totally down to the little 'uns?
 
Cheers fellas,

It wasn't really the little fellas ;) , I bought this big old Victorian Terrace last year and I'm rennovating it. I went a bit crazy with a sledgehammer bank holiday monday and can only attribute it to that.

At least i've got an excuse to put my feet up for a few weeks now!
 
I packed in smoking a while back and I'm in good shape , or so i like to think. But i somehow managed to damage something inside which led to the swelling.

The doc reckons it was a bit of a freak thing. Which sums me up ideally.
