Just found out that I have go in on Tuesday for a triple heart bypass.
No symtpoms whatsoever, no chest pains no shortness of breath, I knew I had a couple of partially blocked arteries from a previous CAT scan, cardiologist said it was not a real concern as I passed the numerous stress tests that I underwent over the past three years, still walked 10k steps a day, but something was nagging me in the back of my head as my father dropped dead in front of me at age 48, and my brother having a couple of stents put in when he was in his fifties.
I asked the cardiologist for an angiogram, as I wanted to alleviate my fears of being a ticking time bomb, it's a procedure where they put a scope up one of your arteries and have a look around, just a few minutes into the scan, cardiologist said, "nup that's it, you need a bypass".
So there you go, I remember Steve Folks and Graham Murray, and even a Manly friend of mine, Uwe Behrens, all dropping dead unexpectedly.
So guys, keep on getting tested, none of us a bulletproof.

Speedy rehab recovery Peter! And your last comment is really important. Had mine at 45 - no symptoms, pretty healthy etc. Was told I should've dropped dead (not just by Parra supporters) when they did the angio. So I admit to becoming a bit of a pain in the butt telling mates they really needed to get a check up every now and then. Turns out 2 mates both had blocked arteries and needed stents. Just as important for women!! I have certainly enjoyed being around for the past nearly 20 years. Anyway, that endeth the sermon. Get well soon Peter!

Thanks Bozo, no doubt about it, a healthy lifestyle is the key, however, sometimes genetics plays a role, and that can be the hidden danger, it catches so many guys unaware.

All the best with the op and the new year ahead Pete C.

Sound advice mate and here's hoping you got on top of it early.

For what it's worth a mate of mine recently had a quintuple bypass and after a few months off the grog and permanent alteration to diet he's now as fit as he's ever been.

 

[Budgie]

Will be thinking of you tomorrow Peter. And thinking of the surgeon having a good night's sleep tonight!

 

[maxta]

Thoughts to you at this time Pete - chin up = all will be good Champ !

 

[globaleagle]

Best of luck mate,

Though it looks like you have it covered!

You are welcome feathered friend
All on here including you are part of the Manly family and all families are important

All of us people take a lot of things for granted in life and health and fitness is one of them

Genetics do play a role and all we can try and do is the right healthy things that we can control
