I remember this from when I used to work out in the gym in the 1980's, at the end of the workout I would spend a few minutes pounding seven shades out of the heavy punch bag, at which point the fella running the gym would put this song on.

Some news from me.

I'm taking an extremely toxic drug (Amiodarone) to prevent heart arrythmia which has lived up to its reputation.

Just got an urgent call from the GP to say I'm suffering hyperthyroidism on the back of some bloods taken only yesterday.

That explains why I've been feeling so horrible. The drug that stops my heart trying kill me quickly is killing me slowly.

Stuck between the devil and the deep blue sea. My best wishes that the doctor can come up with a solution to this.

I've a similar problem, discovered after 35 years. Hope they manage to get you changed onto something else in the shortest time possible.

With as few ill effects as possible.

Ach, I can understand that. My wife has a heart arrythmia, and Amiodarone seems to be the most effective treatment for it. But her doc really wants her to have the minimum amount possible, so he has her on other (less effective) drugs for as long as possible and only switches to Amiodarone for shorter periods when he thinks she really needs it. Thankfully, that approach seems to be working.

Emergency Stenting after a cardiac episode when I was 42 (9 years ago now). Fortunately no lasting damage. Beta blockers, Statins galore, c'est la vie!

.....roll the years on and am there again....
After recent issues of general malaise, heavy breathing, fatigue, heavy legs etc. but nothing substantial I eventually had a CT scan last Thursday. This coming Friday I go in for an Angiogram.
Judging by the CT report it seems I have multiple blockages hence the lack of really meaningful symptoms. I'm guessing if bad-enough, then maybe a by-pass could be an option.
Either way, it needs to be something.
Hopefully update on Saturday!
