I'd have to be a slick motherfucker to pick up a girl by saying that I get tired easily and have low stamina, but if I see an opportunity arise I'm sure I'll give it a try.

Both you and simbaboy823 asked about restrictions so i'll address both of them here. Good question though.

In terms of restrictions I have a few. Firstly, like you, I can't have any high number of caffeine, no binge drinking alcohol, and no cigarettes. I remember one time I was out with friends at a pub and we took turns buying and drinking vodka mixed with monster energy, and when I was on my third glass I suddenly had mad heart palpitations and was struggling to breath. I could feel my heart in my chest like it was trying to escape and they had to get me some water. Likewise, I also cannot have tattoos or piercings. I mean I can but there's a risk of me getting a skin infection. If this infection got into my bloodstream and made it to my heart I would be hospitalised for i think 12-16 weeks on the drip, so its something that I try to avoid.

I'm also restricted in physical activity. My heart rate is much higher than it should be cause my heart has to work harder to get shit done, with my resting BPM being between 90-110 and my active heart rate usually being 200. As such, I get tired so so quickly doing any sort of activity. However, this is the same sort of affect than anyone out of shape would have and tbh if anyone saw my running without knowing my condition people would just think i'm out of shape.

There's a few other weird things that happen due to my heart condition that don't really affect my life too much, like when I get cold my skin (especially my hands) will turn blue and purple, I get heart palpitations so sometimes my heart will skip a beat or put a third beat in. Oh and I'm also on the priority list in the UK for flu jabs, which means that every October I go in to have my jab and i'm usually the youngest cause all the other people are senior citizens. I didn't get my flu jab until November this year and ended up getting tonsillitis because of it, so I guess that can be a restriction, as I'm more susceptible to illness.

Thanks for the question, that took longer than I thought lol

Ok I just had to look up what pentalogy of fallot was and no its not. However, I do have some of the ones that are in pentalogy of fallot. I've got VSD, ASD, Double outlet right ventricle, coarctation of the aorta and transposition of the great arteries.

I don't really know my conditions severity, but guessing from your username my heart is completely fucked up.
