Well I have just got out from Hospital, i had a similar sort of thing as what happened to laserracer happen to me, but in the end no where near as bad.
Doing the fun time MX on Sunday, during the practice session I had a little off not a biggie, just fell over in a turn trying to avoid the already fallen in front of me,
I picked my selfup and got going again, but felt alittle tight in the chest, but being the pig headed bugga I can be at times, I pushed on and did all the races, my chest
was feeling real tight and uncomfortable after the last race, but still didn't do anything about it.
Got home, everyone saying go to the Doctor, yeh Ill go in the morning, Doctors looks at me, why did you come here you should have gone straight to Hospital, he did some test, next minute Im under strict instruction to go straight to hospital to get someone to drive me or call an ambulance.
After all the poking and prodding they did, my heart was fine, blood pressure a little high but all in all sweet. Mussel a little tender around the chest/heart, still a bit sore now.
They had me on the treadmill, just to give the heart a good workout, before they let me go, just to be sure, came through flying colors,
Ive only ever had 4 broken Hearts, but we wont go into that.
As the Doctor said to me any chest pain or discomfort don,t muck around go straight to Hospital, better to be safe.
Why would you ride that long and that gnarly stuff if you don't have to, Its what we do, we love it.
