I can work in my shop all afternoon without a problem. It may be stable angina.
Sorry for the rambling, but has anyone else here experienced this? I guess I shouldn't complain too much. After all, it is a 1950 model and has never been rebuilt.
Getting old ain't for the weak.
Have Atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat)
Had a pacemaker installed 2yrs. a go, it's a 2wire, may have to have 3rd wire installed into other chamber because it's not pumping well. Never thought I'd see 74 and have not had any major problems till 70. Grateful to still be kicking as I have lost most or all of my longtime friends including my wife.
A good cardiologist makes all the difference. Mine just happens to be a woman and she's a doll.
Good luck.
