Well they have informed me that I have an enlarged heart, which has developed over time, but due to all the activities I've done it has acted as protection up until now. The next stage will be the medication that fits my tolerance levelsGoodness Anduril, that must have been an awful shock for you and your family, did you (hindsight being a 100% science) notice any pre-cursors to the heart attack ? Loss of breath, tiredness, chest pain, pain in the arms/shoulder ... as you get older you tend to think some of these are just the symptoms of age but - well worth a visit to the doc if you notice these.
Hopefully you are well on the way to recovery but it's a wake up call to look after yourself, you may not be in the right place at the right time if it happens again.
Thanks for tellling us ... for all of us semi-geriatric beekeepers it's writing on the wall.
