Iain Emms 16,782 Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Well then chaps I thought I would let you know here on the forum I know some of you have noticed I'm not doing what I normally do here on the forum but I'm in hospital at the moment having been brought in and then diagnosed with Arterial Fluctuations my heart rate was going a bit fast around 175 beats a min. Now I have been diagnosed with heart failure which is where the heart isn't pumping blood around your body at full whack I will be on medication now for the rest of my life but thats a small price to pay. As you all know I love being here on the forum but at the moment I only have my phone with me in hospital so I can't do a lot of things I normally do here but hopefully I will be home in the next day or so. In my self I feel great just get tired easy at the moment but hopefully that will get better with the medication. So onwards. Cheers Iain 3 1 9 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
