To be 81 and never been admitted into a hospital is to say that you have been truly blessed. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Hang in there.

Concentrate on your health. You can fly later.

Hang in there! Sounds like you may have an occlusion in a cardiac vessel. Been there, done that. I was at work - in a hospital - had a weird feeling in my chest 3 times during my shift. Not painful, felt more like I'd done a shot of tequila and was feeling that warmth go down my throat. Checked my BP, really elevated. Long story short, was admitted that night, had an emergency echocardiogram and ended up in the cath lab the next morning. 2 Stents placed and home after 24 hours. May your visit and resolution be as quick!

One of the worst things about the Hospital is that they make you feel compelled to have do everything that your asked of and they will ask a lot. Hot tip: Learn to Say NO !

Another Hot Tip: Get a Numbing Shot before you get the IV .. this will go a long way in keeping you comfortable but you may have to argue to get it as the Nurse has to be Certified to do it.

One thing is for Sure < they cannot make money on you when your sleeping , so they wil do everything they can to bill you every 3 hours. Just saying. Once I learned to say No ! , I got sleep and saved money.

I hope this was a joke, cause this healthcare professional of 40 years strongly disagrees with about everything you've said.
Be careful what you say "No!" to - it can postpone a correct diagnoses, impact care, and extend your stay. And billing has nothing to do with whether you are awake or asleep...lol.

Fortunately for the OP nobody will be making any money out of him, awake or asleep, thanks to the NHS.
 
I had a similar situation 24 years ago...had pains in chest, went for Stress test...the doctor stopped the test, looked at me and asked if I could get to Saint Frances that day ( Saint Frances is a well known heart center) ...I got to the hospital and admitted right away, triple bypass the next day..thankfully I am still doing fine.....just telling you my story so you know that what they do is successful and they do everything to make you as comfortable as possible....good luck with it, get better fast and just do what the doctors say...they have reasons based in medical findings for what they prescribe...their aim is to keep you alive and get you back to good health

Good luck with any procedures you may have. Hope you are back up and flying your new Mini 3 in no time.

stikflote, don’t worry, there’s nothing to be scared about. Except, if you have food allergies to filet mignon, imported lobster, and champagne. 🍾 🦞 🥩 Otherwise, you’re going to get the greatest care, have a speedy recovery, and be out there flying the friendly skies in no time.

Note: FYI, most hospitals are no fly zones (helipads) ⚠️

👍🇨🇦
 
Medicine and Science have progressed a lot today. These surgeries and treatments today are amazing and have been perfected saving millions of lives each year. They found a problem and getting the correct care will save and prolong your life. I had two stents in four years ago. Only in my 70s, but still do work most in their 40's won't do. When you get out, look into a book titled "Eat Fat Get Thin". Excellent book by a very well respected cardiologist. You can get it on CD on Amazon and listen to it while driving or at home, unless you like to read a lot.
Looking forward to your successful treatment and speedy recovery.
 
Been there done that, believe me no better place then the hospital when your ticker is not ticking as it should be.

Considering you could have had a worse episode and be 20 min away.

Remember that bright light you see is your mini 3 up in the air and you flying it soon.
 
Good luck! My experience at getting stents was nowhere as bad as I had imagined. Be sure to follow your cardiologists advice after your surgery. It will make all the difference about avoiding a return visit.

I'm a retired physician. Do you think the OP meant Electrocardiogram? I ask this because Echocardiograms can't diagnose blocked arteries. AN ECG/EKG/Electrocardiogram can give some idea of the blocked arteries location, if that's what this OP has. An echocardiogram is going to look at the heart valves and if there is any problems with the blood's flow through the chambers of the heart, NOT the blood flow to the heart muscle itself. He would need a CT angiogram for that.

If it was an echocardiogram and they thought he needed emergent hospitalization, the only COMMON things I can think of for this is if it showed an ascending thoracic aneurysm, or acute or severe chronic heart failure.
