Re: not to good
John, I only know you from your posts and I've always judged you to be a fighter. I don't mean fond of a punch-up out on deck, but one who stands up-to-the-end for something firmly believed in, be it Brexit, the state of the country vs. what it should be, or kind words once in personal messages to me. So it sounds like one more round for you in life's fight mate/buddy. Suck it up again John, do as the doctors tell you, and think good thoughts, like these good wishes coming your way from shipmates all over the world, who believe your special.
Thank you, Rodney, South Carolina, USA

Re: not to good
Sorry to hear that John. Hope you get better soon, keep on taking the pills. I have got something similar called Atrial Fibrillation, atfib for short. I had a heart monitor fitted for 24 hours but had to wait 3 months for the result.
All the best........Alec.

Re: not to good
Last time I had that it was called A.F. and I was prescribed Verapamil tablets and that stopped the heart missing beats. and back to normal,
Now it has started again, so I am waiting for a Cardiologist appointment.
