Other Diagnosed with potential congenital heart disease. just like dad was at the same age.

[Deleted member 20280]

This morning at five am I was rushed to the ER in severe pain having a potential heart attack, being the bolshy bastard I am I self discharged at 9 am. I am at home now having been told I may in fact have congenital heart disease from my father's side of the family.

I am on Glyceril-Tri-Nitrate for heart pains but am terrified of this, the (GTN) is working slowly but taking a long time to kick in properly. I cannot take Aspirin bacause even half a tablet would kill me quicker than a full coronory.

I am expecting contact from the medical team within the next three to five hours of writing this initial thread opening post.

I am shit scared and terrified now because of this development in my medical journey. Granny Davey was the sweetest little old Doris ever, Dad was the greatest man to live. His prognosis was severe and he did not live to any kind of ripe old age when he died of Heart Failure complicated with chronic Bronchial Pneumonia.

I am likely to receive a similar prognosis to Dad because of the similarities in our lifestyles.

Why the fuk did this have to happen to me, when that Bastard brother of mine get off scott free with beating me all those years ago to a bloody pulp as a small toddler.

FUK me Karma is a bitch. My main concern is that I will not get to see my children before I die because of the heartless way they are being kept from me at the moment.

I promise to listen to the Doctors and take what ever medication I need to for my heart kids, One day I will make sure you get to read this thread if none other to truly know how much daddy loves you all dearly.

I am a fighter not a quitter kids, and I will fight this all the way, like I always have through life.

I also promise to keep the forum updated as to my diagnosis and eventual prognosis.

Well that is three times in one day I have been called to hospital for heart problems and oh dear three times I have been left to go home, first occasions at 5am when I was refused a psych assessment because I was worried I was in trigger and had no genuine symptoms, which I apperntly did by my blood count (T) level result, second time I had to be carried to the Phleb room by Amam and Louisa (very and rather nice looking nurses I must admit, especially louisa :D).

Tonight having been ordered back to hospital by my GP I was told to inform the Ambulance service that my MI levels were significantly high and I needed an EKG at minimum..... Well I am an ex service man and do not deserve one at the tender age of a young 44 apparently, so after 4 hours of waiting and being pissed from pillar to post I made the decision to self discharge again. f*cking hell people, I have been in extreme disrtess for nearly 48 hours now and have not received the commensurate level of care even once, OK on the Aman and Louise occasion they did call DR (B) in who advised me to go home until he rang me himself to advise me of the outcome of the second bloods results, which I did and obeyed his directions thereafter, to be put behind a teenage footballer with a suspect sprain to his right knee was embarrassing in the utmost, WHAT THE f*ck people, I served this country and have paid my taxes for the last 25 years. Where is MY Medical Care gone, AND I have PAID for it. he has not,

So I will sleep tonight as I am so stoned on Glyceryl-Tri-Nitrate I am going to sleep for a bloody week now. YEAH, Some decent sleep for a change lol

Your GA :hug:s

I have been given a full initial Diagnosis which at this time I will not disclose until I have been fully assessed next week in the nearest Coronary Care Unit. After being rushed in in the most intense pain I have ever endured in my life, I was picked up by the Ambulance crew from a crumpled heap outside my flat door at 0100 hours this morning UK Time and kept in all night. I have finally also been seen by a competant CPN who is referring me back to therapy as well :)


All I can add to this thread at the moment is how overwelmed I am at the outpouring of support and kindness shown to me both on this thread and on facebook, I am genuinly overjoyed. Thankyou all so much from the bottom of my heart.
