but i'm not dead

spent the weekend in the hospital with some atrial fibrillation

they got it under control within 4 hours of my arrival saturday morning, but kept me until 4:30pm today to monitor my pulse and such and make sure i was okay

they couldn't figure out what caused it but i'm on some meds now to help keep it from happening again :dunno:

Do you have Mitral Valve Prolapse? It's a fairly common thing and it's hereditary, which would be why Leah experiences it too.

I used to have a heart. Then I had it and other various organs replaced with a hemi that runs on dead babies.

Dead babies are the wave of the future. Look out middle eastern oil, people will be pumping their cars with dead baby concentrate within the next 10 years.

nope

they ran all sorts of tests, including chest xray, thyroid tests, blood work, ultrasound (that was awesome, watching my fucked-up heart wiggle around was something i'll never forget), and urinalysis

everything checked out

this is something that usually only happens to people over 60 :dunno:

Same thing happened when I went in for severe chest pains. (Felt like someone stabbing my heart, directly. The pain was so strong my knees went weak.)

Nothing was showing up, and it was fucking scary.

After discussing your situation with several doctors and research facility members, the unanimous decision is that you are too tall and the air is too thin. Blame your pituitary gland.

My best friend had a coronary angioplasty this year. He is only 29 and two months younger than me so it kind of trips me out. Here is a link to a description of the process. http://amishrakefight.org/gfy/

Thank God he made it through everything okay. And I am glad you are okay too, :brinstar:

If I had a heart and the arteries needed work I would have them replaced with carbon fiber tubing and have a turbo charger installed in my ass.
