Homer

Went through something similar earlier this year, after ECG's chest X-rays, breathing analysis tests, blood tests and echo cardiogram showing nothing it turned out (eventually) that the problem was caused by a reaction to some long term medication I had been taking. They changed it and I was fine.

What was the long-term medication, PM me if you prefer.
Just wondering as I'm on long-term medication too.
 
Homer ,. Just saw this and glad to hear that you are well. Now if you had help recruit some good doctors at your hospital they might have figured it out what happened. Glad you are back on the circuit.

PS: last year I got taken into A&e with chest pains et al. After a few hours they came around and said they can't figure it out!!! Their explaination was that it might have been a pulled muscle in the rib cage during golf. I would accept it if it happened on the course, but I was happy to be alive and on paracetamol.. am still here... so get back on the course. Those ProV1s wont hit themselves..
 
Yikes! Hope all gets sorted Martin! Good that you are back to normal, if still mystified as to the cause.

Given the concoction of medication that you seem to be on - and the time of year, I wouldn't be surprised if it was a reaction between that and something different in your diet. Certainly better to be safe than sorry though! Props to 'Marge' for her apparent calm and smooth handling of the situation.
 
I see you were on the golf course today Homer 😳

Indeed. Allowed by the quack and the good news is it's looking less like a heart issue. Bad news is it's sounding more like a return of pancreatitis. Tests await for a conclusive outcome on Tuesday. Not sure if HID is happy or not. No celebrating the new year sadly which is a shame as I had some lovely local bitters lined up. I'm on a bland diet too until Tuesday

Can be caused by alcohol and I know you like a drink,looks like it could be soft drinks from now on.

Was before and yes I probably have been taking liberties, especially in recent months. Hoping its an acute attack (bloods on Tuesday will help confirm this) or even gallstones. Taking it very easy diet wise and definitely tee total again

Yes, I had been taking a Beta Blocker for around 15 years to control my pulse rate. It started causing severe shortness of breath with any exertion, initially they thought my heart was not working properly but all the tests were negative. When they changed it I was fine.
