Why I ended up in hospital

landyfromanuthaland · 6th August 2007, 04:43 PM

Something called heart flutter got me, the top half of the heart was flapping away and not much blood was getting through, the heart was topping out out at 176 which is not goo, should be 60 -80, 100 ok for a big boiler like me, the cure is they shock u with the defribulator and set your back into proper rythm, I cant be gassed so I cant have this, it has to be chemically controlled for life,
so a message I guess for those of carry afew to many kilos and generally dont lead too active lives, lose a few kilos and get more active, run around the landy a few times or something, this scared the woolys out of me and all those around, its really quiet horrifying to think that u can be here today and tomorrow the missus is having the old landys junked. This is my little tip for all to consider

So we know what causes the hearty but was there an initial incident that caused this increase in revs on your tacho? Did you see a nicely decked out Rangie Sports, see a cheap Defender or should the answer be in the mud pit.

Regardless it's good to see your OK

That's funny, but i'm glad you're out and getting another chance!

Glad you're back on deck, landyetc. I'd say sum more but I'm going for a long walk - only 30kgs to dump in a hurry...point taken

Get well!

I'm considering getting a treadmill and an electric motor to power my pc.

I said considering

Think of it this way, dobbo ...

The heart has 2 cylinders (right ventricle and left ventricle) and two superchargers (right atrium and left atrium). Unlike a usual motor, in this case the speed of the supercharger controls the RPM, not the other way around. Landyfromanotherland had a short-circuit in his supercharger timing mechanism that pushed the RPM high, so cylinders followed. Probable causes - overstretched the chamber or had a small heart attack (probably the first if they've done all the tests.

The trouble with the chemical control is that the superchargers (atria = plural of atrium) aren't working properly, not coordinating with the cylinders and so lose 30% of the power. Resetting the timing would be the cure, but not possible by the sound of things

yeh, from another health person - if you feel slightly funny, just call that Blood box! We don't mind checking you over - it's our job.

take care and look after your ticker.

ps. love the post scrambler. I've never thought of the atria as superchargers before!

Look after your health mate.

Eat some of that green stuff, food (animals) eats.

Give the missus a break, open your own beer.

And have a laugh now and then.

Shorty.
