You may have a better directory than I can find, But here's a short directory of Cardiologists in Wellington.
The Wakefield Heart Centre looks promising. Their phone number is (04) 381 8115 Please call them now. |

Holy crap; thanks for the support and the peer pressure. I'm making an appointment to see my GP for a referral today.
I told my partner last night. She looked... shocked. Stunned. A little frightened. Neither of us have slept much. :/ |

No, no asprin at the moment.
And the peer pressure in this case is good peer pressure... rather than the 'hey there, take this awesome crack', it's the good stuff instead. And I will. thanks! |

The biggest hurdle I find is getting over the Kiwi attitude of 'she'll be right, mate' (I think the Aussies have something similar). It's something of a National Identity and part of a measure of 'manliness' here. Akin to Kiwi ingenuity (No. 8 wire and all that).
And it leads to kiwi guys like me just 'putting up and shutting up' with ills and ailments. I've called. Got an appointment in two hours. :thumb |

Stay strong, Bandito. It's amazing what the combination of a statin, aspirin and a beta blocker can do to reduce your risks. I've been on the first two drugs for about seven years -- my maternal uncle died of a MI at age 32 (exactly my age now!)

Just want to add...if you take aspirin, don't take too much. It can be very bad for your stomach.
