Went to have a 24hr heart monitor fitted, 66yrs old with persistent AF. Also in the clinic was a young teenage girl having one fitted aswellDo not take anything for granted.

I had one of those monitors fitted few months ago.
Heart is only shoving 33% of blood through and one of the valves is regurgitating the blood - It didn't half make some squelchy noises.
Had the results not long back with Doc and asked what it meant.
I was not happy with "dead man walking".
I then asked is there anything you can do -Yes we can do a heart op but in your case no chance -We can only do it if you are 80 or under.
The most horrifying thing about it all is got to give up my medicine -Wine and Brandy.
I very rarely sleep now and got up this morning not feeling too good.
Oh well there is still tomorrow.
