Younger members may look at this and think it is an over reaction, if I was younger and in good health, I may think the same. In my life, I have been shot at on a number of occasions, been blown up and had a hand grenade thrown at me, I am no shrinking violet. This scares me though, I am afraid of being unable to catch a breath until death takes me.
I for one do not. And I too fancy you have a long life ahead of you.

Do what you have to do and stay safe. I wish my father were taking the same precautions as you. He is 75 and can't walk across a room, on a good day, without losing his breath. Let alone 5 heart attacks.

It is actually his birthday today.

Stay safe and do what you have to do. Remember though that this is also a mental game. Try and get some exercise in. Eat healthy, and practice taking deep long breaths.
