So, as a man of a certain age i try and keep myself in shape and limit myself to just the 12 pints on a Friday:)

However i started getting some serious pressure in my head this week and a noticeable vibrating pulse in my leg this week. The onset of chest pains and a mad vertigo attack was enough to send me to the quack. Quick check of the vitals and blood pressure ( usually 120/80 ) and a concerned look came over his face. Blood pressure was 180/100 and my heart rate elevated, asked if i had any stress recently.. such as bereavements etc, to which i replied no...and then it dawned on me ...ITS FUKING CITY, i said accidently out loud, to which he laughed and said i wasnt the first blue he'd seen this week!!!! The Mrs had now put me on my first warning that im not to carry on going if it happens again........ so i promised..........id make the divorce quick :)

Let this be a warning my fellow blue brothers - they will be the death of you

The afternoon of the CL final, I needed an intervention because my blood pressure had gone through the roof (systolic 225). Last words from the doc: “avoid any stress”. Yeah right.
 
Similarly ... I am right now on a 24 hour heart monitor. I had Atrial Fibrilation several years ago. (No cause was found beyond I had a bad chest infection, and literally coughed so hard/much is flipped it out of rhythm ... all following tests including angiogram found no problems otherwise) Had cardioversion ... basically knock you out, and stop and restart your heart with those paddle things, and all fine again.

Well guess what? It's flipped again , and looks like I'm needing to be switched off and on again .... Feckin' City.
 
Gillingham, QPR and Villa..For me it is more of a mental strain. Was at Wembley for Gillingham.Could not get ticket for QPR. Watched on TV and could not bear it. I guess it was the prospect of the rags getting one over us. Watched it until about 80 mins and was gutted so switched TV off and went to bed . My sister then sent me a text saying well done. I was angry that she would make fun of my suffering so sent her a curt response back. Lay there for an hour and thought, she couldnt be that cruel surely ? Went on the net and it blew me away. I can not watch penalties. Same with Villa and scousers getting the quadruple. I learned my lesson from Gillingham and QPR so carried on watching as City never give in. Wow, what a turn around.
As for Prestwich comments. It does happen. I read about the poor bloke in the USA who put flowers at his wife's memorial after the shooting. Four hours later he was dead from a myocardial infarction. My first day as a club doctor at Gillingham. Half time. Was having a G&T with the directors. Some guy rushes in and says doc we need you on the pitch. I thought he was joking at first and he re-assured me it was real. Just before half time the opposition scored. One of the ball boys was so upset he had an epileptic seizure on the pitch. Fortunately OK in the end. Stress, whatever kind can affect us all !!!!
 
Resting heart rate was about 10% over my normal from the day before the West Ham game…only started to drop back to normal on Tuesday this week. Below is from Sunday.

This club will end us all early. I’ve warned my Mrs.

I had a bit of a panic attack the morning we played Real away. Combination of other stuff going on but that combined with the end of season pressures we were under at that time sent me on a bit of a funny do in the middle of a shop. Felt sick, dizzy, was racing, I was sweating, the mrs said I looked like I was going to throw up. I'm only 31 as well!

In the week before our last game my ulcer was grumbling every day. My fingernails were also picked down to the bone.
Since Sunday not had a peep from the guts and my nails are growing back beautifully.
The breadknife also noted that i've stopped 'being an arse'
