Hi everyone, thanks for your concern! I've had an urgent ECG and has ordered a fast-track stress-test for next week.

Is that good or bad? Or just checking?

take it as just-checking

patience and

The Stress Test will determine whether more medication is required, Angioplasty [with stenting] or by-pass operation.
They might, if after the stress test they're still not sure, go for an Angiogram to get a clearer picture of the arteries before deciding on any of the above options.

Thanks Bri

a tobacconist's and half dozen pipe cleaners, you'll rait as rain

Good Luck on getting checked out

Sorry to hear you've a suspected problem with your heart, GB, but I have to say they can do great things for hearts these days. A friend in the choir had a stent put in at the age of 80 and was back singing three weeks later. My brother-in-law had a quadruple bypass and he is doing just fine, with a new outlook on life. Hopefully whatever is wrong with you won't be as bad as either of these, and you'll get by with some tablets, a change of diet and exercise.

Thinking of you.

Oh I do hope so Gnomon

and thanks also to abbi normal and Webby

That's right, Gnomon, and my brother underwent a procedure where they went in through his groin and burnt some nerves in his heart. - It wasn't particularly pleasant but it was worth is, says he.

Here's hoping tablets will do it for you, AGB - and if exercise is needed, just think about how much worse it could be

That doesn't sound pleasant but I have confidence in the and ...

I se you've taken up excersising already

*sits back and watches AGB and *

Yes, and am also still doing the pedalling but going nowhere which I began in Feb, just 5 mins a time but better than nowt.

Hospital have rung me with an appointment in Cardiology for Friday morning, 9am.

Thanks BMT

I'll report back afterwards unless they keep me in, in which case I'll text somebody to keep you all informed

You make sure you do, hunny
