Looking for some advice.
I'm looking to do a Parachute jump and was wondering if it's still a good idea with Angina.
Or should I say microvascular angina/Coronary artery spasm.
I'm on the usual medication and have ok days (few and far between) and really bad days! I'm simply fed up not being able to do so many things because of this dreadful condition.
So I'm just looking for advice regarding this matter! Milkfairy help!!!! 😂😃😃😄
I believe the standard medical declaration form asks you declare that you do have heart disease, have not had a heart attack, do not have angina, etc. You need to look at the paperwork and if all seems OK for your individual situation check with your GP.
Well I don't think I could jump out of a plane and do a parachute jump!
The adrenaline rush would set off an episode of chest pain.
The triggers for angina whatever the flavour including microvascular or vasospastic angina are emotional, mental and physical stress, along with the cold.
You need to consider how would you cope with a severe episode of chest pain at any point during the jump.
Another thing to consider is the altitude. I experience chest pain at about 2000 feet of altitude.
I have to have oxygen when I fly and a permission letter from my Cardiologist.
You do need to talk to your Cardiologist.
I am of course quite profoundly effected as I have both microvascular and vasospastic angina.
I am just trying to imagine my 2 Cardiologists' faces if I ran the idea of a parachute jump past them😱
I would love to do a parachute jump but I have realised it will have to be removed from my bucket list!
Surely Milkfairy there must be heart patients out there that have jumped.
I bet theres plenty with underlying heart issues that don't know it and are probably doing jumps often
Yes there are following discussion with their Cardiologists.
It's whether the stress of the jump will lead to your angina becoming unstable.
I expect you're right Rob. Everyone thinks and deal with things differently. If you really want to do it, check with your Doctor first though and see what he says. Otherwise it's just not worth the risk. If you do decide to do it, I hope you enjoy yourself. Let us know 😊
Not sure about a parachute jump with Angina, but I'd definately recommend a parachute jump with a parachute.
lol well I'm hoping that's attatched
Brave man! Possibly foolish as well.
I shan't be joining you!
