- I continue my experiences with the Waikato Hospital in New Zealand and my GP following an Ablation procedure on my heart. Problems with medications.
Not seen Part One? see it here. • Experiences with My GP...
Hmm Im A Diabetic heart Patient too . Im 75 years, I can Identify with a lot of how you currently feel. Itchy, Chough, tired, Lack Motivation. I don't now take .. in my case Bisoprolol (sp), I told my doctor that I didn't want to become a fragile old man. That was in about 2018. I had a heart attack in early 2017. I had no problems dropping that med. My health improved over the next few years but a few months back I had another attack. I need a Stent but the procedure called a rotopasty was no available. I live in Colombia now.. The hospitals are as good as NZ if not better. I'm on Clopidogrel as a blood thinner whatever. probably wont ever get the stent never mind .. I feel basically ok . Incidently I watched your studies of the NE5532 etc. I too enjoy electronics and construction I was a professional once!!
Take care , get off the Beta blocker mate!! maybe go for a wee walk ? get the heart to work a bit. sorry its what I do.
Thanks for all the info. I really appreciate that I am not alone having heart issues. I made the video really out of frustration of not knowing what to do next, Afterall we only have one body and one life. Unfortunately, we do need others to help us to survive. I think many people simply don't survive mainly because in older age they lose brain power or in some cases never had it in the first place. They don't go to their GP and if they do it can be pointless. Maybe they cannot explain the health problems or have any knowledge or equipment to explain with, probably most people. The consequences are the just die prematurely.
Anyway, thanks for writing and good luck with getting your Stent. What is the issue? long waiting list or simply not available in your country?
Get well soon Mr. Beeny and God bless you....from Philippines
Thank you, Robert, and well done in getting through two very long videos!
I cut my lowest dose tablet in half after telling my GP about my experiment plans because they make me feel like crap, two or three months later I took a graph & bloods to my Specialist appointment expecting him to erupt like Etna but to my surprise he approved 100% and told me why I was one of the lucky ones.
Keep up the good work Mike and enjoy your videos. Hopefully down the track we can look forward to seeing the 7293 follow-up. Cheers from the Big Island.
I think many Doctors are surprised and a little taken back if the patient gives even the slightest hint you might know just a little about the subject. Mostly because they cannot bull shit you.
Your sense of frustration is clear from your two videos. I am slightly older than you (77) and have a lot of the same issues.
I have had atrial fibrillation for about 27 years and was started on a beta blocker ( atenolol) to slow my heart rate . I lasted about six months before I asked for an alternative. I was teaching high school and the beta blocker took the edge off my teaching . I was swapped to a calcium channel blocker (verapamil) which has the same action on the heart rate. It can also lower your blood pressure.I am still taking Verapamil
You might want to talk to your doctor about whether that could be an option for you
Thanks, I will check it out.
Mike, have you got your Vitamin D3 level checked? Please do get it checked. Adequate D3 levels can make a dramatic difference.
Yes, it was one of the possible suspects. I'm right in the middle of the ^OK^ range. I do take a supplement every 3/4 days just to keep it topped up but I kind though of you. Thank you.
This has been a really painful odyssey for you for sure.
You are aware of my own bad experiences with some of these medications, a few of which have been strikingly similar to some of your own.
I too am trying to slowly scale back the medications I take because of the cumulative side effects.
I honestly think that the GPs and specialists have good intentions but are themselves overwhelmed.
So I give them the benefit of the doubt.
However, of they apparently do not communicate either to us, or between themselves, nearly as much as they should.
We used to have a great GP, one of the best we've ever had.
But sadly he retired about 15 years ago.
D3, B12 and magnesium deficiencies can all contribute toward problems such as you are experiencing.
Take care, my friend.
@Mr. Beeny : The Omeprazole will help prevent a stomach ulcer/bleed. Check Medsafe NZ Q&A for Pradaxa, maybe they were worried abt. a higher risk of a bleed for you with Pradaxa
Here's a list of other possible Beta Blockers:
Examples of commonly used beta-blockers include:
atenolol (Tenormin)
bisoprolol (Cardicor, Emcor)
carvedilol
metoprolol (Betaloc, Lopresor)
nebivolol (Nebilet)
propranolol (Inderal)
You could ask your heart doctor to try another Beta Blockers. I have used cavedilol with no problem. Just an idea, talk to your doctors. Take care.
I have tried Betaloc, very good if you like all your hair falling out and much the same side effects, I now have on Sotalol.
Get well soon MR. Beeny love from Slovakia. I found most help from your channel about the class D amplifiers and i noticed that the fake ones have the Ti logo the original chips do not have the logo instead they have undermarked G4 as with other TI chips hope the little info i found out helps you a little againts the fake TI ic's. Wish you the best ❤
Thanks for the info and your kind words, most appreciated.
Some tpas from TI do have the logo as with the tpa3116d2 i think all of the tpa311x series have a logo but tpa 3255 and some tdas don't have the logo which makes it really hard if its a fake one or not but all tpas have undermarked G4 and fakes only really have the G4 which sometimes isn't marked on fake ones and if there is a TI logo on a TPA3255 its most likelly a fake one unless its a newer version of the TPA3255 but i don't seem to notice the original having the logos beacuse there isn't really enough space to fit it
@@MichaelBeenythere also should be a dot under the model number and behind 3255 a round sorta cut-out if all of that is present theres a high chance its the original 3255
Здравствуйте Майкл! Ваша" медицинская жизнь " остросюжетный жанр. Сейчас в наше время найти действительно толкового доктора это --- проблема. Большое Спасибо бригаде скорой помощи ! Молодцы ребята что быстро приехали и все сделали грамотно, вот это называется профессионализм! Здоровья вам Майкл! Надеемся на продолжение проекта 7293. И новых других проектов.
Да, мое здоровье превратилось в эпическую драму. Спасибо, что написали, я очень ценю это.
Defined as Cardioversion. My former boss had AFIB. He has had a few of these procedures done.
Hi Michael - thanks for sharing your ongoing story, what an ordeal!! Probably a dumb question but have you contacted specialists to see if you can find a really 'on to it' one and then get your GP to make the referral? Wishing you all the best, Andrew
The guys you see privately are largely the same people you see in the hospital. You just need to take out a mortgage to see them privately. Thanks for the thought, Andrew, much appreciated.
It takes a cardiologist less than a second to analyze a page of rhythm strips. Longer with something interesting. Don't be concerned about overloading them with data.

My lord, healthcare is a mess as of late. Here in Portland we are so short on PCP's (Or GP's) that the wait is over a year.
My clinic at the VA here in Portland RAN OUT OF DOCTORS! 😂
Our "Doctor" is a talking head on a TV screen who you go into the clinic, and see them in a room with a Computer screen being transmitted someplace on the East coast.
I have decided that I would be far better off going to SEA or Japan for medical care.
Even with the flight? Hotel? WORTH IT.
The medical care systems in the West are simply overloaded being the story everywhere.
I have been trying to get care to get back to work, but its been over a year and I have had such waits to just to get APPROVED for care, every bit of progress made just goes right back to square zero.
My last doc visit suggested I apply for something called SSDI since it seems they also forgot to catch a brain tumor a bit ago that is now inoperable unless I feel like becoming a vegetable, so oh well!
That alone with my Military / VA retirement & the award from the lawsuit for a LYFT driver running over my foot makes this very well possible to live out the rest of my life I have left on the clock.
As it is I am recovering after a surgery as well for a far different matter, but glad it has been completed.
That alone is going to be a year long recovery process since it seems they made a bit of a miscalculation in the placement of device down under.
So it seems like a simple outpatient procedure may follow.
I see you just uploaded a video about 10 min ago, so I'm glad everything is going well for ya Mr. Beeny.
Really missed the way you present topics and just the style you do your videos as I rather enjoy them to relax to.
Won't be building any Amplifiers in the future or new projects for quite some while for me, but the way you take something that's just "Ho hum", dissect it to find it's shortcomings , then offer a better method of delivery for its purpose reminds me so much of the car modding scene in the 90s .
Making do with what you have and making it better use to be the de facto British way. (like the nuclear race with the Americans)
I miss that sort of ingenuous & enterprising spirit that just seems to be lost today.
Not on its principal, but its application in regards to is flair. i.e.; some people just know how to dance so to speak.
Warm regards as always Mr. Beeny .
Будьте здоровы!
Благодарю вас, милостивый государь.
Question over where you live is it Government Health care? NHS system?
Yes Tom, the hospital service is free to the end user funded by our taxes. The GP is partly funded but a trip to the GP typically costs between $19-65 NZ per visit. Weekend service, if you can find any can cost well over $100NZ.
