First one about 7 years ago,now had 5 heart attacks,had 7 stents fitted (3 were replacements) and one balloon.Take 7 different pills daily - Ranolozine,Ticagreler,Lansoprazole,Bisoprolol,Perindopril,Spironolactone,Atorvastatin.
Funny thing is,when i have called Ambulances to my home,nothing bad registers on their ECG machines,its not till i have bloods taken that heart damage isconfirmed (the left side is considerably worse than the right).They think it is probably something to do with my heart rate (resting is 40bpm)
Think my old man was on a few of those, and as he got to his late 50s he overtook me on prescription pill popping.
I remember when he had his heart attack back in '05, we were lucky that we lived in a postcode area that had a special clotbuster drug they could administer before transporting him. If we'd lived elsewhere, he'd have prob been a goner as they'd have had to wait until in the hospital before anything done.
He was out of it but still aware enough of what was going on to tell me to unreg him from the Full Tilt weekly main event sat, as they'd told him no chance he was going to anywhere
