Someone asked me where in Wales i was born the other day
(i never wanted to be a consultant)
But maybe i can do something now im here
Ill sod off in five years if it doesnt suit, ill be 43, young enough to retrain
im a born doctor, really
And i definitely like hospitals
But being a consultant is only 10% patients
good luck to you too
I am still about confused about this SVT you seem to think I have. Anyway, I will be seeing the cardiologist again on 2 June, so will calrify with him just what he means......
Thanks for your interest, and all the best in your job.
Balding nicely - my son has a bald patch - his started when he was 21. I blame my dad.
NB
E mail me!
PGO, I think you need to go back to your cardiologist
if you are still having episodes od atrial fibrillation, then your heart will not be working as efficiently
Prior to visiting the hospital I hadnt had any irregular beats for at least 2 months. When I went to the hospital i firstly had an ecg, this showed that I had a thickening on the right side wall of my heart. I then had an echoscan and this confirmed what the ecg had shown. The staff at the hospital seemed quite concerned and told me that the specialist would be in touch. That weekend the irregular beats returned and I was able to record them.
I heard nothing for about 3 months and then on a visit to my own Dr he informed that he had received a letter from the specialist. It said that the scan had shown a thickening on the right side of my heart and also something on the left ventricle and Cardio Myopathy was mentioned.He said that a thickening on the right side of the heart was common amongst 'athletes' but he had shown this scan to a specialist with experience amongst athletes who had agreed that it was abnormal. I have since had a 48hr ecg and I am awaiting an MRI and stress test. I am still training really hard and I am feeling very fit the only that is messed up at the moment is my head and I am feeling very anxious which makes the irregular beats worse.The beats have also changed they were nearly always skipping, now they are mostly 2 beats together.
Sorry that this has been a long thread but the message must be to get these things checked out asap
I would really appreciate your help on this one.
is that Maximal heart Rate MHR is 220 - age
so 184.
The UK triathlon magazine is called "220" because of this.
