i'm 27 and the other day i had this quick sharp pain in my chest!! I don't know if my heart, or lungs.. but it just attacks like a fuckin shark. For up to an hour after that whenever i breath in past a certain amount the sharp pain returns.. like it's waiting, so I have to take little breathes for a while. It's happened before but not as drastic. After a while goes away, and i can breath somewhat normal, but my chest seems tight and coughing and smoking bowls worry me. I honestly think i'll die from some sort of breathing problems or heart attack kind of thing. I doubt accidental.. i'm fairly lucky in that regard.
who wants to die of old age anyways? I'd feel like a burden on others to drag it out if i can't do anything. or am not enjoying life at the age of 98! but I should be fine
I don't like speculating either it bums me out but when shit happens like those sharp pains in the chest, it gives me an idea of the future! Not like you're going to make it out alive by not thinking about it. Might as well take the hints and be prepared!
That happens to me a lot. One time, it was so painful that I had to lie down in the hallway on my way to the restroom, and I seriously thought I was having a heart attack. Turns out that it was just gas. Now, whenever I get those pains, I just force myself to burp repeatedly and the pain subsides.
Whenever I think of how I might die, this song by Leonard Cohen always comes to mind, which is based on the Yom Kippur prayer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQTRX23EMNk"]Leonard Cohen - Who by fire - YouTube
When heart catheter patients would start going into cardiac arrest, we always told them to cough as hard as they could, or to burp. 9 times out of 10, it stops the heart attack from happening.
cought hard?! damn at the moment when it was happening it felt like if i coughed hard i'd be a goner.
Yep. That doesn't mean people should cough instead of getting help, but if the cardiac arrest is starting with arrhythmia, coughing/burping can help reset that.
I'm pretty sure I will die of either a heart attack or skin cancer that I didn't get checked out til too late.
