I've gone to be checked for feeling breathless sometimes and possible runs of V-tach or rapid Afib but nothing happens when I'm actually in the office.

I sometimes err on the side of extreme caution, and often feel chastised for not "pushing through the pain." I had a heart murmur in my teenage years, and that totally freaked me out. That said, there have been times when I ignored random little niggles which led to bigger problems, too. For the most part, if I have a gut feeling about something, I pay attention. Thanks for sharing!

I don't know, maybe it's my age, though I'm not that old; i just think that we have to enjoy what we can do for as long as we can but acceptance (if you can't run, even temporarily) is pretty hard. runlaugheatpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09233445490233555647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647157930116406632.post-22018332689761461632018-12-21T06:28:21.802-06:002018-12-21T06:28:21.802-06:00I think it's our drive to push to the finish t...I think it's our drive to push to the finish that also makes us push through the pain.
