Paul McCartney was ordered to quit alcohol after heart murmur diagnosis

Sir Paul McCartney was ordered to quit alcohol more than two years ago after he was diagnosed with a heart murmur, it was claimed today.

The Beatles legend – who underwent heart surgery in recent months – has had regular electric shocks since 2005 to deal with the problem.

And he was prescribed anti-clotting drug Warfarin in a bid to improve his health.

But he allegedly refused to quit drinking – sparking a series of major rows with estranged wife, Heather Mills.

A source said: “This was a major source of problems between him and Heather [Mills.]

“He was receiving electrical shocks over the two years on his chest to help with his heart and was under strict instructions to stop drinking completely, which he didn’t do.

“It’s not a threatening condition, he just needs to take better care of himself.”

It was also claimed that Mills – who is in the middle of a bitter divorce battle with Sir Paul – postponed a leg operation in April 2006 for him to undergo heart treatment.

The insider told the New York Post: “He was abusing his body.”

“She [Mills] focused on him first.”

McCartney, 65, had secret heart surgery at a private London hospital in September to open the arteries of his heart. He had been complained of feeling unwell and doctors advised he have the coronary angioplasty – symptoms of which can be brought on by stress.

Last week he was pictured looking well as he holidayed in Jamaica.

A spokesman for McCartney was unavailable for comment today.

His divorce battle with Heather Mills is due to go to court in February unless the couple can settle before then.

The pair split 18 months ago after marrying in June 2002 and are said to be no closer to reaching agreement over custody of their four-year-old daughter Beatrice or how to divide Sir Paul’s $1.6bn fortune.

They reportedly had a number of angry rows over the Christmas period – with Mills even threatening to move to America with their daughter.

The only thing Heather needs, is attention and of course sympathy, she’s a professional victim. As for Paul, he needs this divorce to be over, so he can move on with his life and enjoy the affections of a real woman. Heather is a disgrace.

True or not, this story is disgusting. However, if Heather knew that Paul had a heart problem and truly cared about him, she would never have done all the things she has done to him these past few years, knowing how much he longs for privacy in his private life, given the extremes of his high public profile and the stress it brings him. She would know that his life was at stake. When they were photographed (in the cold Canadian winter while lying on ice, for heaven’s sake!) with the seals, his colour was so bad that he could have died then.

If she needed leg surgery, then what the hell was she doing on “Dancing with the Stars”?

Interesting how this is coming out only after Paul’s surgery has been revealed. Who’s the ‘source’ for this so-called story, Mills herself? I suspect she’s also the source of his stress – and the reason why he drank.

The only one with a heart problem is Heather Mills.

So if she knew he had a heart condition why has she attacked him on TV every chance she gets? If she needed an operation on her leg why on earth did she go on a ski vacation with him prior to the divorce? Not a good vacation choice for either of them. Plus – she is the one who likes to ski. He likes to sail and swim.

Begging him to stop drinking wouldn’t be enough, she would also have to shut up for us to actually believe she had some concern. Proof she has no concern – we have read this and so many other personal stories about Paul. He’s a man that wants as much privacy as he can get. She’s a person who needs as much attention as she can get. The best way to show concern publically,is to simply wish him well. But not Heather, as the other poster said, she has to be in the story. Now if only Heather would see a doctor. Postpone her surgery, please she uses that excuse for everything. I’m betting she has it scheduled for the first of court.

Surprise, surprise, Heather landed in this story. I was wondering how long she it would take her to think up an angle that makes her part of it. If this were his children saying this, I would believe it, Heather, no way. Sorry dear, but no dice, no brownie points for faux care.

Nice try Heather, but showing your concern after the story was released doesn’t make you caring. If this is true, and I have my doubts, she would have revealed it. Now all of a sudden the fights were about his health, during her last rants they were about how cheap he was. Why didn’t she say this during her televised tantrums.

UNBELIEVABLE……SHE postponed surgerly for HIM, SHE begged him to stop drinking for his own good, and SHE is in the wrong?!?!!?…maybe SHE is under stress from the horrific treatment that she gets from the press and his fans!!

I feel she is trying to give Paul a heart attack by saying she and Bea will move out of the country.Also,she could be planning the leg operation for next month and hold off the divorce outcome.

Lets see, Heather is under terrible stress from “the press”, “the fans”. There is a simple remedy for that, it’s called having some class and dignity. Keeping your private life private. These claims after the fact, sounds like typical Heather spin, she needs to insert herself into everything Paul does, even the women he appears on tv with. Sorry, I’m not buying this, nor am I buying her concern. If she had any concern for the father of her child she would have divorced quietly and friendly, instead of splashing their issues all over the press, yelling about a box of tapes and the other insane things. Sorry, if this were true, Heather would have spoke about it a long time ago. She has no concern for either Paul or Beatrice. As a mother & a woman, I am appalled at her actions.

Sorry, I find it very hard to believe she cared about him at all. She lies too much for me to think she postponed her operation for him AT ALL. She treated him like crap in public when they were still married.
