    Spud there is nothing wrong with you putting your trainers on and walking surely?? Perfect way for you to get those muscles working (gently) burn some calories without getting your heart working to hard.
    I also have horrendous family history heart problems, which is one of the reasons I am trying to keep fit now..GDad Died at 52 and Dad 58

    Ohhhh Spud, so hope you are ok.Take care xxx
    Lenny~Im so glad you dont have my mobile number.
    You had better eat humble pie tomorrow!!

    I'm OK hun. My dad died of a massive heart attack at 38, and mum at 46 so I think they just want to minimise my risks and make sure it isnt hereditary.

    I reckon they will likely prescribe diet and exercise :rolleyes:

    No I'm sure walking will be fine Sally.

    Thanks hun. I'm OK about it. I'd rather know if there's owt wrong and get it put right than have what happened to my dad happen to me.

    I'm just annoyed that I went to my GP, and asked if I was OK to run, and he said yes. It's as though he didnt even read my notes :rolleyes:
