And finally the 2014 Synthetix.FM Ultimix. A two and a half hour mix of the top four tracks from each genre. A soundtrack that I hope rocks 2014 deep into your musical subconscious!
That does us for things on Synthetix.FM until towards the end of January 2015. I'm not exactly sure what date the site will be back with new content at this stage but make sure you check back towards the end of the month with all the rockin new year action and in the meantime Synthetix Sundays will continue throughout this period, and I'm sure I'll be appearing on that every now and then as well as the special year end/year begins show next week! Be sure to follow Synthetix Sundays on Facebook here in the meantime to keep up to date with Marko's show.
RAD!Confused : Hi everyone, I had a HA jan... - British Heart Fou...
Hi everyone, I had a HA jan 30th this yr so it’s all very new to me. I feel well recovered from the attack but have been having problems with my meds. I had some problems with my legs, feeling very heavy and like I’m dragging my legs through water it got to the stage where I was stopping every few minutes while walking, also I have been having with my breathing.. I’m not getting excessively out of breath but enough that effects me when I’m talking. Been in touch with my gp who has changed my statins but said none of my meds cause breathlessness so asked me to call in to have my lungs listened to.
Hi Kazzy and welcome.
Don't worry about the "it's new to me" - it was to all of us at some point!
Without wishing to criticise your GP unduly, if the hospital treated you as a heart attack (MI or myocardial infarction) and listed you as a heart attack on discharge, then you had a heart attack.
That determination in the hospital will have been made by a cardiologist, on the basis of blood tests, ecg results and clinuxal history, and your GP isn't really qualified to over-rule that on the basis of their personal opinion of "how bad" your blood results were while disregarding the other evidence and the cardiac specialist's assessment!
Troponin levels are a good, though not infallible, guide and a level of 700 is WELL into a clear indication of MI. Yes, they can go a lot higher (into the several or even 10s of thousands) but a small heart attack is still a heart attack and needs to be treated as such.
This early on, that treatment should be including referral for your current symptoms because, while they may well be meds related, they could also be symptoms of further issues.
That's particularly true for women, who will often NOT experience the "typical" chest pain symptoms.
None of the above is intended to frighten or worry you unduly, but it is important that you don't get sidelined because someone made an unsupported judgement call.
And I say that as someone who did as recommended and asked my pharmacist for advice about the 36 hours of "indigestion" I was suffering (as an obese, smoking, 51 year old male with family history of heart disease) and was sold a (larger size) bottle of Gaviscon.
Bad advice, based on only part of the evidence (I said it felt like indugestion), and did absolutely nothing to help the heart attack it turned out I was having!
Thank you so much for your reply. My discharge letter from hospital says HA so I will go with that. As for the other symptoms I am getting I will do as the GP says and see how I go and have a word with the cardio nurse at rehab next time I am there.
I hope your recovering well and once again thank you.
It sounds like you have a pretty safe pair of hands in your husband, which is good to know.
On the plus side, while every HA is different and depends on where, as well as how much, damage has occured (not to mention loads of other factors!) Troponin levels like yours were do suggest that - while there will be damage - the actual amount of heart muscle damaged was fairly small. Which is always a good starting point!
16 months on from similar levels and I'm doing up to 8 mile walks with 40lb packs and 2 hour-long gym sessions in a row (hour gym, 15 min break, then hour circuit class).
You are putting me to shame, although I can’t do much in the way of exercise due to a problem I have with my spine... I can and should be doing some! I lost 9 stone a few years ago and due to my mobility problems I have gained 5 back 😓 and only being 5ft 1 its taking its toll... right that’s it!! I am going to phone my local leisure centre and find out the times for swimming. It’s probably the best thing for me to do.. wish me luck.. or maybe it’s everyone else there who has to see me in a swimming costume who needs the luck lol...
I see you say you had an echo, who sent you for that & did they say why you needed it?
When I was discharged from the hospital they told me I would get an appointment for an echo, they said it would be in about 3mths time but I was sent an appointment for last Tuesday. They didn’t say why I would be having it but the cardio nurse said it’s just to see if everything is pumping ok?
Thank you, the pump (your heart) and breathlessness sometimes go together so hopefully just trying to rule things out. Do you suffer with fluid retention?
It could well be some of your medication is not agreeing with you so to me should be asked about.
after op. And have had a rehab nurse from local hospital ring me a couple of times. I had a blood...
appointment to be checked but 9 months ago I had a Heart Attack and I got moved back on to warfarin...
shed some light here. I have had fatigue and palpitations for a few months. Had bloods done several...
Yes, same. As much as I dislike the moodiness itself, I end up appreciating the conversations that it compels me to have. It's when I'm more likely to vocally complain/cry about things that already bothered me before, but which I had been reluctant to complain about and was trying to convince myself were not problems. For example:

--The unevenness of household chores. His job is more demanding on his time so I was being understanding and not expecting a 50/50 split, but damnit I get tired too. Now he makes my chores easier (puts dirty clothes in the hamper even if I do the laundry, clears off the dinner table even if I end up washing dishes, picks stuff off the floor before I vacuum, etc). It doesn't take up much time from him, but I feel much more appreciated.

--Well-intentioned jokes that still feel kind of mean. Like pretending he doesn't know me in front of his students. He did it because he wants to keep his personal life private, not because he's ashamed of me, and he joked about doing it ahead of time to me since he genuinely didn't mean anything bad. I made "ugh, nooo" reactions, but didn't stress to him how much it bothered me (after all he just wanted to preserve his privacy so I was trying to be understanding). Hated it every time it actually happened. After PMS mood swing crying? He got it. Apologized. Never made that joke again.

Moodiness is great at revealing what really bothers you, even if you're trying to ignore it!Reason for visit
