Geeze, I don't know harry, but we are doing fine despite your

I'm not the one with heart disease, you are.

My BP typically is about 115/68, my at rest heart beat is 73, my
cholesterol levels are ok, my blood sugar at my last doctor's office
visit was 101. About six months ago, I had a nuclear stress test, which
I completed satisfactorily, and no anomalies were found.

This is no predictor of the future, because nothing can be. But,
relatively speaking, *you* are the one with serious health issues, not
me.



Dude, I have intermittent afib, which is not fatal or debilitating, even
when I am in afib.. I am probably out of sync, 12-14 hours a year total,
LOL... Other than that I am in the gym every day with the kid, at the
track, and working half the night..... Trust me, you couldn't keep up
even when you were my age



When I was your age, I was doing what I am doing these days...assisting
my paying clients and earning a damned good living. That, to me, was
more important than not earning a living by hanging out in the gym or a
dirt bike racing track.

According to Wiki, a reasonable source:

Atrial fibrillation (AF or A-fib) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia
(irregular heart beat). It may cause no symptoms, but it is often
associated with palpitations, fainting, chest pain, or *congestive heart
failure.* However, in some people atrial fibrillation is caused by
otherwise idiopathic or benign conditions.

AF increases the risk of stroke; the degree of stroke risk can be up to
seven times that of the average population, depending on the presence of
additional risk factors (such as high blood pressure). It may be
identified clinically when taking a pulse, and the presence of AF can be
confirmed with an electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) which demonstrates the
absence of P waves together with an irregular ventricular rate.

Have nice day...as long as it lasts.
