    Hmm Im A Diabetic heart Patient too . Im 75 years, I can Identify with a lot of how you currently feel. Itchy, Chough, tired, Lack Motivation. I don't now take .. in my case Bisoprolol (sp), I told my doctor that I didn't want to become a fragile old man. That was in about 2018. I had a heart attack in early 2017. I had no problems dropping that med. My health improved over the next few years but a few months back I had another attack. I need a Stent but the procedure called a rotopasty was no available. I live in Colombia now.. The hospitals are as good as NZ if not better. I'm on Clopidogrel as a blood thinner whatever. probably wont ever get the stent never mind .. I feel basically ok . Incidently I watched your studies of the NE5532 etc. I too enjoy electronics and construction I was a professional once!! Take care , get off the Beta blocker mate!! maybe go for a wee walk ? get the heart to work a bit. sorry its what I do.

    Thanks for all the info. I really appreciate that I am not alone having heart issues. I made the video really out of frustration of not knowing what to do next, Afterall we only have one body and one life. Unfortunately, we do need others to help us to survive. I think many people simply don't survive mainly because in older age they lose brain power or in some cases never had it in the first place. They don't go to their GP and if they do it can be pointless. Maybe they cannot explain the health problems or have any knowledge or equipment to explain with, probably most people. The consequences are the just die prematurely. Anyway, thanks for writing and good luck with getting your Stent. What is the issue? long waiting list or simply not available in your country?

    This has been a really painful odyssey for you for sure. You are aware of my own bad experiences with some of these medications, a few of which have been strikingly similar to some of your own. I too am trying to slowly scale back the medications I take because of the cumulative side effects. I honestly think that the GPs and specialists have good intentions but are themselves overwhelmed. So I give them the benefit of the doubt. However, of they apparently do not communicate either to us, or between themselves, nearly as much as they should. We used to have a great GP, one of the best we've ever had. But sadly he retired about 15 years ago. D3, B12 and magnesium deficiencies can all contribute toward problems such as you are experiencing. Take care, my friend.

    I cut my lowest dose tablet in half after telling my GP about my experiment plans because they make me feel like crap, two or three months later I took a graph & bloods to my Specialist appointment expecting him to erupt like Etna but to my surprise he approved 100% and told me why I was one of the lucky ones. Keep up the good work Mike and enjoy your videos. Hopefully down the track we can look forward to seeing the 7293 follow-up. Cheers from the Big Island.

    I think many Doctors are surprised and a little taken back if the patient gives even the slightest hint you might know just a little about the subject. Mostly because they cannot bull shit you.

    Your sense of frustration is clear from your two videos. I am slightly older than you (77) and have a lot of the same issues. I have had atrial fibrillation for about 27 years and was started on a beta blocker ( atenolol) to slow my heart rate . I lasted about six months before I asked for an alternative. I was teaching high school and the beta blocker took the edge off my teaching . I was swapped to a calcium channel blocker (verapamil) which has the same action on the heart rate. It can also lower your blood pressure.I am still taking Verapamil You might want to talk to your doctor about whether that could be an option for you

    Here's a list of other possible Beta Blockers: Examples of commonly used beta-blockers include: atenolol (Tenormin) bisoprolol (Cardicor, Emcor) carvedilol metoprolol (Betaloc, Lopresor) nebivolol (Nebilet) propranolol (Inderal) You could ask your heart doctor to try another Beta Blockers. I have used cavedilol with no problem. Just an idea, talk to your doctors. Take care.

    Mike, have you got your Vitamin D3 level checked? Please do get it checked. Adequate D3 levels can make a dramatic difference.

    Yes, it was one of the possible suspects. I'm right in the middle of the ^OK^ range. I do take a supplement every 3/4 days just to keep it topped up but I kind though of you. Thank you.

    Some tpas from TI do have the logo as with the tpa3116d2 i think all of the tpa311x series have a logo but tpa 3255 and some tdas don't have the logo which makes it really hard if its a fake one or not but all tpas have undermarked G4 and fakes only really have the G4 which sometimes isn't marked on fake ones and if there is a TI logo on a TPA3255 its most likelly a fake one unless its a newer version of the TPA3255 but i don't seem to notice the original having the logos beacuse there isn't really enough space to fit it

    ​@@MichaelBeenythere also should be a dot under the model number and behind 3255 a round sorta cut-out if all of that is present theres a high chance its the original 3255

    Hi Michael - thanks for sharing your ongoing story, what an ordeal!! Probably a dumb question but have you contacted specialists to see if you can find a really 'on to it' one and then get your GP to make the referral? Wishing you all the best, Andrew

    The guys you see privately are largely the same people you see in the hospital. You just need to take out a mortgage to see them privately. Thanks for the thought, Andrew, much appreciated.

    It takes a cardiologist less than a second to analyze a page of rhythm strips. Longer with something interesting. Don't be concerned about overloading them with data.

    Question over where you live is it Government Health care? NHS system?

    Yes Tom, the hospital service is free to the end user funded by our taxes. The GP is partly funded but a trip to the GP typically costs between $19-65 NZ per visit. Weekend service, if you can find any can cost well over $100NZ.
