A bit of a flutter?

摘要

I know nothing about Tony Blair's heart problem, and even if I did, it would be against my professional code of practice to pass comment. My husband, who is about the same age as Mr Blair, suggested that I write about his palpitation scare instead. A couple of years ago, during a hectic period at work, my husband started to get 'butterflies' in his chest. He didn't get chest pain or feel dizzy with them, so we both ignored them. One evening, while burning the midnight oil on a report that just had to be completed for the next day, he had a run of irregular thumping in his chest that didn't stop. I decided to get out my medical bag.
