You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
Just back home after my fourth admission to hospital for heart trouble in 15 months. The first 3 for heart attacks (one major, 2 less so). This time I was told that it might have been another heart attack but it was put down on the discharge letter as chest pain with troponin rise to 728 (this is the first that didn't result in stenting).
Not much point to the post really other than I'm féling a bit low and nervous. Over the last year and a bit I seem to have been endlessly trying to regain some fitness and get back to cycling and failing. This last episode seems to have, in part, been precipitated by a turbo trainer I bought to try & build up my confidence that I could go out on the real bike without anything happening 🙄
Sorry to hear that Pjay and please do look after yourself
Take care of yourself. Mystic Sandwich sees an e-bike in your future.
Fingers crossed the medics can fathom something out for you.
All the best mate. I'm booked in for an ECG tomorrow after chest pains on Friday along with fluttering since. Joy.
My thoughts are with you, it sounds as though you have been through the wringer.
My story isn't anywhere near as bad as yours, but a concussion picked up in the kickboxing ring was misdiagnosed - leading to emergency surgery 5 weeks later to remove the (by now, massive / 18 hours from dying) bleed.
Fast forward 15 months I still can't train, any attempt to get fit is shut down immediately by my body.
Hang on in there mate, take it a day at a time and hopefully one day we'll be fighting fit again.
Sorry to hear that pjay. Let's hope the docs can figure things out quickly for you.
Wish both OP and SC-XC healing vibes
One of the good guys, Pjay. Look after yourself bud. 💙
@sc-xc I can't see why you say your story's not as bad as miné, it sounds incredibly traumatic for you and pretty scary for those close to you too.
All the best to you and I really hope that things start to improve for you soon!
Sry to hear that PJay. Does heart disease run in your family? I'm always nervous because one of my grandfathers died at about 50 and one Uncle on that side of the family (Dad's side) had a heart attack in his early 40s. My Dad, however, is now 81 and has had no problems.
Sorry to read about both of you. Take it easy and hopefully you’ll both be back to fitness soon
Awful PJ.
Time to just take it all in and take it easy for a while mate. You've been through a whole world of emotions enduring all that.
I don't think I've ever "worked" as hard on a bike as I have on a turbo with Zwift. I take real world cycling much easier. Trouble with real world cycling is I also crash a lot.lol
Perhaps you went a bit too hard a bit too soon mate? I can imagine that's very easy to do. Obviously the Docs will advice but I'm sure the biking will return and Spring is just around the corner too.
All the best buddy.
Worst stealth ad ever.
Seriously though - take care of yourself, Maybe just slow down your return to fitness?
Jeez Pjay, you're having no luck at all. Sorry to hear you're getting a kicking with it all 😔👎
Healing vibes. Not sure what more I can say. A couple of health wobbles recently myself have made me acutely aware of how shit being ill really is.
Hang in there PJay. Just maybe take it easy for a little bit...
Sending healing/safe vibes towards you!
Healing vibes PJay, obviously a worrying time for you, just go steady.
Thanks for the good wishes everyone.
Still feels a bit hurty today but apparently all my main arteries are now open so hopefully things will ease off in time.
bloody hell guys, sounds awful. Take it easy PJay and sc-xc, hope you get sorted soon!
