Apparently I have had a heart attack
Had an ekg done this week cause I felt sick at work (I am diabetic). Got told I've recently had a heart attack of some kind. Find out more tomorrow.

Re: Apparently I have had a heart attack
Now I'm no cardiologist, but that seems like something you would notice.
I take this game with the seriousness it deserves.
Not all that much. It's a game.

Re: Apparently I have had a heart attack
Wow. I've heard that you can actually have a heart attack and not realize that it's anything more than a chest pain, but never actually heard someone say that it happened to them. Good luck, and hope it was a one-time deal.

Re: Apparently I have had a heart attack
Wow. I really hope everything you hear is positive.
I now have a blog. Have a look if you wish. It contains those naughty profanities that you won't find here. If you like what you read send me a PM, or if you don't like it. I'd like to know how many people here read it.
Avatar done by me. If you want one then you clearly have no taste. I'll do one happily. You just have no taste.

Re: Apparently I have had a heart attack
I can't help but be reminded of the opening to a speech by a certain memetic badass...
I don't know whether you fully understand that I have just been shot; but it takes more than that to kill a Bull Moose.It's been a bit, GitP. If you're reading this, you're either digging through old stuff, or I've posted for the first time in forever.
If you want to stay in touch, reach out to me on twitter (same username).
The best answer is always to ask your DM.
Unless you're the DM, in which case you should talk to your players.

Re: Apparently I have had a heart attack
It would explain why I've felt so 'meh' lately...

Re: Apparently I have had a heart attack
I am reminded of a story of man who was very depressed and suffered a heart attack. He survived, but figured he could commit suicide by over-exerting himself.
So he went running until he dropped.
No heart attack.
He tried it again the next night.
Still no heart attack.
He tried again, and again, and before too long, he noticed that he was healthier and wasn't depressed anymore.
Anyway, thought I would share that. Good luck to you, Bhu.1. Have fun. It's only a game.
2. The GM has the final say. Everyone else is just a guest.
3. The game is for the players. A proper host entertains one's guests.
4. Everyone is allowed an opinion. Some games are not as cool as they seem.

Re: Apparently I have had a heart attack
The medical training I've received always identifies several misconceptions about heart attacks. Primarily, that someone clutching their chest and falling to the ground is actually rather uncommon and that it is possible for someone to have a heart attack and not know it.
I hope all goes well for you and, regardless of if this was a heart attack or not, you use it as motivation to improve your fitness and live a healthier lifestyle.

Re: Apparently I have had a heart attack
The doc is pretty sure it was one. He said the EKG scan he saw indicates damage, so I follow up tomorrow with a Cardiologist.

Re: Apparently I have had a heart attack
Well, if you didn't notice, it sounds like it's not gonna kill you anytime soon.
Hope that was all you're gonna get!

Re: Apparently I have had a heart attack
Good luck, Bhu! Here's hoping it's not serious--or at least, as not-serious as a heart attack can ever get.

Re: Apparently I have had a heart attack
W... du wubba?
Wow, man. I mean, I'm glad it was a minor one instead of something serious. I mean, it sucks you had a heart attack, but at least now you know to get healthier and take care of yourself so you don't have another one or something...Anemoia: Nostalgia for a time you've never known.

Re: Apparently I have had a heart attack
Yikes! It sucks that it can sneak up on a person like that.
I've actually been having the reverse problem for years. I have frequently recurring chest pains in the area that would be alarm worthy. However no one has ever been able to tell me why I have them. I recently underwent several cardiologist tests which confirm that it's not a heart problem, but that doesn't help me figure out what it is.Want to meet some of the most awesome people on the internet?

Re: Apparently I have had a heart attack
Exactly what I was gonna mention. Most people think that only if your left sides hurt (arm, leg, and the left side of the chest.) it is cardiac arrest. But for several people, it's simply feeling like you're missing breath, for others it's sleepyness, and the such.
Hope all's right now.Last edited by Crimmy : Tomorrow at 26:72 DM.

Re: Apparently I have had a heart attack
A cautionary tale...
A friend of the family, by the name of Dave, went to the doctor's just the Friday before last. He seemed to be having serious heartburn and a little trouble breathing. He thought it might be asthma, or the flu.
Doc said it was a heart attack. They checked him out, found that one artery was 60% blocked, another 80% blocked... and a third was 100% blocked. He went in the following monday for triple bypass.
He didn't survive the surgery.
So take it from the guy who just went through yet another funeral -- just because you didn't notice it before, take notice of it now. Something like this could kill you in a week.

Oh dear.
Good luck with the doctor, Bhu. Hope everything goes well. I'll keep you in my thoughts.
