Crazy, too young for sure on both of them. I'm sure they both had their demons but 50ish is way too young to be passing away, especially from a massive stroke.

This is especially true the closer I PERSONALLY get to 50ish.

Had the same conversation earlier. I'm not too far from 52 and I already pause any time I feel a tweak in my left arm. Scary shit

You aren't kidding! I always did before, but since I actually HAD a heart attack... man... if I have a TINY pain near my chest I'm symptom hunting!

I am sorry you had to go through this.

For left arm tweaks, make sure the upper arm isn't constrained in some way (tight clothing, sleeping on that side, etc.) and also check your potassium level (eat a banana). Folks with prior heart ailments should also take a children's aspirin (81 mg) once a day.

Had a co-worker years ago who, after a spike of celebrity deaths, quoted his grandmother who said "People are dying these days that have never died before!"

I do regular calcium scoring tests and my last one came back as an 88. It's based on a maximum score of 400 and basically means that I am at a low risk of any cardiac issues for the next 5 years provided I get regular exercise and eat smart. But that doesn't stop me from worrying.

And I agree. A lot of times I'll get a tweak or pain in my arm and it's mostly related to a pinched nerve I have in my neck due to a bad disk, or the rotator cuff tear I have in my left shoulder. Plus...I know that most heart attach cases don't even begin with that symptom. But despite all that, try convincing the anxiety portion of your brain to think otherwise.

All the males on my dad's side kick the bucket around 55-60. The men on my mom's side have some pretty awful hereditary health issues. I'm hoping to bite the bullet around 60. Good lord long lives are often sad, miserable, and pain-riddled.

Live hard then to make it worth it. Hookers and blow.

My son was just home, and I kept thinking.....”man, I wish I was 20 yrs old again”. He’s so focused on the future, and doesn’t realize what he has in the present. Though, there is a good balance.

I need to stop cooking all the foods I love. Probably switch over to Michelob Ultra.
