  1. Here it is very difficult even to have a general practicioner; I had to go
    to the emergency to have my blood pressure checked and have a GP prescribe
    me a medication.
    I have time to die a couple of time before being able to see a cardiologist.

    Just to give you something to think about, I am 61. I usually set my HRM to

    Now if I could just HEAR electronic beeps again. Matter of fact, I
    don't think my Polar even has beeps. Don't you wear its little battery
    out faster using beeps? I bought Polar because it advertised
    water-resistance and used it just once in the pool.

    Swimming, I find that I cannot get my pulse up the maximum level I
    achieve on the treadmill. I run out of breath first. Good swimmers
    (aged competitors, though most younger than me, who started swimming
    as children) are mystified by this. My theory is that they can so
    easily get their pulses to run a high level, that their circulation is
    such they do not run out of oxygen. I think this is an interesting
    phenomenon, but probably not so much on this newsgroup.

    Thanks to all

    Best of luck! As an aside, if you or your wife post on the
    sci.med.cardiology group be aware that "Dr. Andrew Chung, M.D." is not a
    practicing physician. His unorthodox were cross-posted to this group in the
    past and some went to great lengths to determine he does not have admitting
    privileges in any hospital.

    He's not even a Dr.
