NFL player Damar Hamlin collapses during game; suffers cardiac arrest

[Beanz]

The reason why I was asking about heart attacks is because I had one in December. It was very scary and was thinking about the kids I would be leaving behind.

I have no history of heart trouble so was surprised when it happened to me.

I am OK now and recovering.

The NHS staff were excellent, and I had a stent fitted as the artery was blocked. I am getting my fitness back.

I was also diagnosed as having Covid at the same time. I thought I had a flu as I could not shake it off and it was far worse than a cold.

I am now suddenly on 6 tablets a day when I did not take any. I will probably be on pills for the rest of my life. These are Aspirin and Statins. I had a small cut shaving and it would not stop bleeding for hours because the tablets thin the blood.

That's why I'm a firm believer in regular medical checkups in all aspects

i don't agree with this personally, not trying to argue just my opinion. i haven't had a medical check up in near a decade. for me one's health is the responsibility of that individual. this last three years has shown me that many in the medical industry are not actually interested in people's health, rather than deal with the causes of an illness they will rather use medication to suppress symptoms rather than cure the cause of the illness, not fixing the problem & often leading to more issues. this is just my own personal opinion & i'm not saying i believe all in the medical industry are this way

Except in Masters case without 'the medical establishment' he wouldn't be here. Without medication suppressing symptoms, my wife would risk dying from epileptic convulsions every day instead of a few times a year. If you are able bodied it is fine to think you have it all sorted, but you are deluding yourself.

You really do sound incredibly idiotic much of the time.
