The people who couldn't book online died?

No . They have a few tablets ( pardon the pun ) that the staff go through it with them . One woman said on the phone that she had no internet so could not do it . My missus said " you have an email address  "  well I don't use that the woman said the woman .  It has saved , on average about 300 phone calls a day so far .

Best of luck OP, as someone already said your health is your wealth. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Thank you! Well the upshot is they didn’t do any stents as the narrowing arteries are in the wrong place ffs! 
They’re starting me on some aggressive medication to improve the blood flow, heart muscle pumping etc
Then as an outpatient I’ve got to have an mri to ascertain whether I have actually had a minor heart attack and what damage has potentially been done. 
So gonna have to have a rethink on work strategies and roles, trying to take more of a back seat and supervisory position

What's the deal with the arteries being in the wrong place? 

 

I hope all goes well.

The sections that have narrowed are where they pass through the muscle wall so not suitable to stent. I’m now stuck here for at least another two days while they check the medication is doing it’s job

 Hey , I know of a woman IT engineer that in 6 months developed cancer and died despite specialized expensive treatment...

 

Only if you have a complete hospital AND full team of doctors for you only ,you might live above average...

 

But yes walking 50 meters and breathing hard is a problem to be adressed...

 

I'm about 43-44 years old but if I don't do at least 30 km on bicycle plus  about an hour of exercise for almost every muscle group, I honestly don't feel well..

 

Lately I only have time for "kettlebell play" and it shows...

 

My father is 75 years old almost 76 and despite catarcte ,prostate removed because of cancer, one kidney gone some time later because of same cancer still lives an active normal life. 

 

Oh ,and won't give up cigarettes, a pack a day 😂 

All my relatives dead now lived beyond 83 years. 

 

In summer swimming in a pool(not sea) and running on a stadium is the best thing to do! 

 

First running about 5-6 km then swimming(wich is more demanding on the body). 

 

Enjoy life no matter what! 

 

Since I was a kid I saw people around die suddenly out of nothing...

 

If you're still moving ,enjoy it 😁

I forgot to tell you: alcoohol will not let your body burn the fat in the blood. 

 

Then bad cholesterol will appear and in time that's what plugs arteries.

Ask your doctor about this to verify.

 

I will celebrate 10 years since I last drank alcoohol on 15 november 2025! 

 

It shows: I'm a lot more fit, capable of much more sustained effort and overall stronger than at 33 years old.

 

I can't believe it myself but today I can do 50 pushups with no hesitations.

 

Wait 30 minutes and do another 50 pushups.

 

I honestly couldn't do that at 33 years old. 

But I drank almost daily with the "ex-anturage". 

 

Wish you all the best and stat healthy!

I am a bit older than you and you get to a certain age and you realise that wealth is health not money , good to read you have been sorted .

What good are gold ingots and stacks of cash if you're dead? 

 

Healthy and happy is enough. 

Of course don't starve to death and a home wouldn't "hurt " either.

 

But to live only to make money and buy gold or other valuables is pointless.
