Describes the symptoms he sometimes suffers from.

 



Sometimes I can feel the heart beating which is a bit of a nuisance. Sometimes - I don't know if this is a symptom - I'm sweating, and I'm not talking about the weather when it's hot but sometimes I perspire when I shouldn't be perspiring. I know that's one of the tell tale signs if you're about to have a heart attack so it's a bit worrying. Sometimes dizziness occasionally, walking somewhere or doing something. I used to have much more of that dizziness when I was walking, especially after I got out of hospital. I'd be just walking somewhere or just sitting down working on a computer or something and then all of a sudden I'm overcome by dizziness and it would just go away after a few minutes. I don't have as much of that as before I had, but occasionally I do get that.
