You know this singer:)
Nw pple died earlier:(


Don't post link like that, for a moment I thought he ......

He was very unlucky as a singer, because during that period, his company only want to groom one singer that style. It was between him and Jeff Chang.

Yes moreover one of his kid is in special school and the other has ADD. When I was at his wake, sad to see that the kids do not know that daddy has passed on. As a mother of 3 , I feel so heart breaking
ADD is currently known as ADHD, it is not on the spectrum and normally won’t need special sch. A lot of ADHD kids are gifted

Bro in law best friend , aged 47, passed on. Collapsed while cycling. Everyone said he overworked while cycling as he could cycle for hours and many times in a week. Usually one would know they had underlying unless they checked their heart. Heart lying conditions usually would have symptoms like chest pain or breathing difficulties if they over used their heart.

may be not. sometimes no symptom, like a blood clot run whole body, suddenly end up the the heart arttery.
after covid, blood clots bery common.

Your dad how old liao? If not too old and still mobile, maybe open heart is ok. But recovery is painful and need positive mindset. The doc got say why need open heart instead of non invasive?

Think the lou kun is saying the implant exp. But will be covered by MediShield Life. If it’s safer option, just do it loh. Any cash outlay, pay by instalment or seek help. But if he suggests conservative management due to age, then depends on your dad loh.

I didn't mention about ecg.

I mean do CT liao can't find any issues but still feel heart symptoms like breathlessness, chest pains but cardiologist say everything ok how?
That means your problem ish not caused by abnormal heart tissue. maybe ish nerves not working properly?
