Just wanted to let folks know the situation as I've got an inbox filling up!
Some of you may know I was under a lot of stress recently before I moved house and was getting panic attacks - really bad ones, ie inability to breathe, high pulse, blacking out.
Will, it turns out it wasn't anxiety attacks. It started again at the weekend for no apparent reason, so I went to my doc on Monday. I got sent to A&E and have been in hospital since, with a large blood clot between my heart & lungs. I'm told it's serious but I am improving with treatment. If I'm lucky I might get to go home Friday, but I'm not holding my breath (no pun intended).
Looks like this is a result of half a lifetime on the Pill. Actually, maybe just the last few years as I Googled and found various newspaper reports from a few weeks ago about the greater risk of clots from the pill (marvelon) I was put on 2 years ago.
In good news, although I'm going to be on warfarin for some months one I escape this place, one of my docs here is a fellow 5:2er and sees no problem with me continuing while on my meds.
For anyone who's interested, I've been posting updates on Facebook. Think I'm pretty much out of danger now but they say I'm lucky it was found in time.
So, although I have WiFi here at the hospital, I'm trying just to relax and hence have not been dealing with my messages, hope you can bear with me!
