I suffered a heart attack in 2004, as many of you remember. Mine was brought on by something known as a "dynamic blockage". In short terms, it was stress related. I was in a battle with a former boss who tried to end my career (I beat him eventually), and I was now in the process of playing a ton of gigs to make enough money to keep the homestead going, plus I had a wedding to pay for, plus I was out of shape. The bottom line is that I got my heart beating so hard at a gig that it literally pinched off a blood vessel and triggered the v fib that could have killed me. There have been no reoccurences, and there was no permanent damage. Nasty shite though.

All the best,

Mick
