Couldn't sleep. It was almost 6am so I decided to get up and go.
4.2km in 41 minutes. Hammies and glutes feeling the effort of last night's body weight sets so I didn't go out especially hard.
Fucking magic time of day tho.

e.g.
Incredible how even Sydney and toxic waste can look good at that time of day.

Back from the specialist and it's a mixed bag. The primary problem is this:
... at the junction of the proximal and middle thirds of the left anterior descending artery, there is a mixed calcified and soft plaque, which is causing am approximately 40-50% stenosis of the arterial lumen. There is possible ulceration in this plaque.
The upshot of that is a small pile of medication and a follow up in 6 months.
Kind of glad overall; he said that everything else looks fine, so that's a plus. No major issues with the important arteries.
The minus is that these type of mixed hard/soft plaques are apparently abnormal in someone of my age and relative fitness.
He even said that they sometimes see this on patients who have experienced rapid weight loss, so maybe it even goes back to my 2011-13 efforts and a bit if genetics thrown in.
Medical science eh? Doesn't know what it doesn't know, and isn't certain about much
-
I hear ya! After my misdiagnosis I've a better appreciation for why they say you practice medicine!! Almost as much an art as a science.
-
Can't you just inject a bit of drain cleaner direct to the artery and let it clear the build up?
Just a suggestion.

FUCK beta blockers.
That is all.
You might want to take a leaf out of Bill Werbunik's book. A snooker player from the 80s who needed beta blockers but didn't't get on with them, so he got a dispensation to sink 6 pints of lager during each day of competition. Worth a try surely?

@catogrande not sure I can handle that...
Still, they do the job: BP was about 135/80 the last few days. Today: 116/67.
