Hi,
I couldn't find a dive medicine forum ,
so here goes:
I am a singlehanded sailor.
In Nov 1997 I had an attack while alone at sea
(Western Carribbean)
Made it to Panama.
After an EKG
a cardiologist there called what I'd had
a pre-infarction
Nov 98 I had a heart catheter done.
Coronary arteries are okay,
diagnosis: Angina Pectoris
I am 62
I'm taking 10mg Nifedipine Retard
plus
1/4 Aspirin/day
Sept '99 in the warm water
of the Northern Galapagos
after easy-going training and
meditation I free-dove to 18 meters(60 feet)
to free my anchor stuck in lava.
No problem and afterwards I felt
like a million.
I did carry my nitro-spray
in one of these beach-money-tubes around my neck...
Any similar cases out there?
Medical opinions?
THANKS!
