    Are you really OK ?

    Much of my work is overseas so I need to have regular health checks for insurance purposes. Up until now I have always passed with flying colours, notwithstanding smoking, drinking, being overweight and not getting enough exercise.
    The last round of tests showed a slight ECG abnormality which the Doc thought he may as well follow up.
    It turns out I have a major problem, but now that we know about it and can treat it, the outcome is expected to be OK.
    I had no obvious symptoms (but my lifestyle choices have now changed ) and if it hadn't been for regular check ups I would have dropped dead in the next few months.

    My message...........have regular check ups......no-one is bullet proof.

    End of sermon !

    Sorry to hear that
    Health check ups are a very good idea.
    I beat bladder cancer through an early diagnosis, keep a constant check on my leukemia and had a heart scan recently. Apparently it is enlarged with thick walls, some rubbish about high blood pressure

    Just another to ad to the list.

    Keep the regular heart checks up.
    You never know what will happen.
    I lost a good Army mate soon after his 50th birthday, massive heart attack and no one knew he had a heart problem

    Just being male puts you behind the 8 ball anyway with heart disease...add age, overweight, blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol and some artery hardening and you are a disaster just waiting to happen.

    In otherwords just about 50% of the male population as it stands at the moment
    So the other 50% are studs!!
    That would probably equal the age difference anyway, would it not?
