I had an angiogram yesterday too!
To cut a long story short 16 months ago I had a weird episode while out running (HR spiking high and finally fainting) had it looked at and nothing was found.
Over the last few months I had a few runs where I go out and after about 1K I'm not able to keep up even a slow pace. Then because my watch has a HRM I notice that the HR is lower than I would expect for how hard it feels I'm running. Normally I go out and HR goes straight up to around 140 stays there for a few minutes and then moves up to between 170 where it stays or ticks up to about 185 depending on how hard I'm working. But on this day no matter what I do if I break into a sprint or try to jog along steadily the HR does not go above 140. Walked and jogged on for a while and on cooling down and having a shower HR went so low that I needed to keep moving around for the watch to record it.
Didn't know what to make of it but after a couple of days I was feeling grand so went out again and was fine but then it happened again a few times so went to the doc a few weeks ago and on to a cardiologist. With insurance I was able to see him at my leisure and organise all the tests to make certain there are no blockages. Was able to have that yesterday and was delighted that its all clear.
Leaves me with a weird electrical problem that isn't clearly diagnosed but it seems that its the kind of thing that people get pacemakers put in for. As it only happens when I'm running we are happy to leave it with me pulling up and taking it easy on days that it happens and if it is something that progresses then we'd look at putting in a pacemaker but he wouldn't expect that for a long time yet.
Main take away for me out of it is that you cannot afford not to have health insurance. Because it didn't appear urgent I would have had to stop running, just in case and wait at least 18 months maybe twice that to see a cardiologist and get an angiogram and the rest of the tests that rule out a serious issue.Turning millions into thousands

Three female Munster fans on the Luas earlier
No 1: Is Johnny not playing 'cos he's shit or injured?
No 2 & 3 : *Laughter*
No 2 : Where's the really cool cocktail bar?
No 1 : Liquor Rooms, it's on the quays
No 2 : Is it
No 1 : Yeah
No 2 : it has really small cool chairs
No 1 : Looks like a circus? That's the Liquor Rooms
No 2 : It's great
No 1 : I got kicked out of there with Lisa
No 2 & 3 : What? Why?
No 1 : Me and Lisa were drinking and they gave me a bottle of water when I went to get a round in. They said I had too much to drink. Then charged me for the water. Told I didn't order water. Bouncers and all were over and they made us pay for the round and when we finished, they asked us to leave after.
No 3 : Jesus
No 1 : It was grand, we were in a few weeks later, ordered a load of cocktails and left without paying
No 2 : How did you manage that
No 1 : Easy, table service. Order, drink and leave before they ask you to pay

The rush to get home and have an early dinner meant I had the kind of indigestion that could easily be mistaken for a heart attack, which was a bit of a distraction. That, and the fact that I find it difficult to sit still for more than 30 minutes didn't help.
Just a reminder that it does indeed start at 7. Don't be one of the gobshites that misses the first half"We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Originally posted by Emmet View PostCracking game in Lansdowne RoadOriginally posted by ionapaul View PostI just finished watching the delayed coverage on TG4 - obviously Leinster are rock solid in defence and always look great, but was pretty impressed by Munster too. Was I imagining things or was the ref a bit tough on Munster? Felt they might have been a bit unlucky...
Lowe is some finisher and Joey played very well behind a good pack. Leinster haven’t played anything close to their best yet but it is only October. I think Munster are evolving their game which is overdue and most welcome.‘IF YOU had not committed great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.” Genghis Khan

Still no Lars Eidinger. This might get your heart up to ninety!

It'll be interesting to see the repercussions relative to the bus but this was almost certainly more dangerous given the audience.

I suspect that in spite of losing, McGregor will be delighted with the aftermath. Everything scummy he has done prior to this is superseded by Khabibs reaction now and he comes out the good guy.

Originally posted by shrapnel View PostThere is nothing boring in watching a guy make such a great fighter look so ordinary. Mcgregor Got rag dolled like a little bitch. Loved it
Aftermath was a disgrace, and probably a direct result and payback for the bus attack. Chechen mafia versus Dublin knackers. I know who my money's on!Profit before people.

No way could sell that the rematch. He got outclassed from the bell. It was in rogan during the week khabib was gonna smesh the retire the GOAT.
It'd be hard as fuck selling that fight. The casuals hate the ground game and no one wants to buy to see conor smeshed againPeople say I should be more humble I hope they understand, they don't listen when you mumble

I agree there was more security than ever before, so how they let it happen is beyond me, but can't for one second believe it was orchestrated.
Ferguson is next, so ufc probably praying for an upset and for him to beat Khabib so that Conor can come back in play. I don't really see a different result if they did it again. They've always kept Khabib away from Conor, as they knew Khabib doesn't match up well at all for him. Khabib is a nightmare for most fighters tbh. He's just a beast.
