Well I'm officially all in the clear (I was sort of told this last week at the time of the Echocardiogram) but least I have had it confirmed from the full report. No enlarged heart, all valves and chambers working well.

I cannot tell you how relieved I am.

I had my heart attack last October stood right next to some shooting friends who are first aiders they had given me aspirin before anyone had time to dial 999! The ambulance just happened to be five minutes away and one of them knew the place I was in so he drove straight to me, they decided to take me to Basingstoke as they have a very very good cardiac unit (from experience I can say that they are amazing) the team was ready for me the second I arrived and I had a stent and was on the ward about an hour latter, and the next day after a battery of tests and a prescription of various drugs I was allowed to go home and can honestly say I feel fine now. I also gave up smoking about half a second after the paramedic told me I was having a heart attack!
Really glad that you are fit & well... I was admitted to Basingstoke purely because of their cardiac unit but thankfully I didn't need any treatment as my results came back all good. Apparently it's the blood tests that can tell them an awful lot.
