Was eating breakfast this morning when I started having a cramping sensation in my chest, trouble breathing, and feelings of lightheadedness. The staff at the dining hall I was at called the paramedics and now I'm at UT medical center. They say I was probably dehydrated or similar. Blood pressure and heartbeat levels are normal.

Anyone ever have this happen to them? I'm scared to death. I'm 21; this shouldn't be happening.

Sounds like anxiety.

Did they do an ekg? My son had similar symptoms, and it turned out to be wolfe-parkinson-white syndrome. Only showed up on one ekg out of many, so it was a fluke they even caught it.

Just did. Waiting on the results.

What in the world is wolfe-parkinson-white syndrome?

Sounds like a panic attack.

As someone who suffered/s from an anxiety disorder, panic attacks feel VERY similar to a heart attack. When I first started having them I felt like I was dying.

I have anxiety as well and take medication for it. Any way to limit or control them? This scared the absolute ever living sh.it out of me.

I was diagnosed with the disorder and medicated in the same trip. I thought I had a heart condition.

I took paroxetine (paxil) for two years and it almost ruined my life besides making me fat. I quit taking it cold turkey and suffered through the ridiculous six week withdrawal period of electric shock sensations in my brain, vivid nightmares and random bouts of vertigo.

I've just developed a better sense of what causes stress in my life and have improved how I deal with said stress. I haven't had a panic attack in over two years and haven't taken any medication over the same time frame. As a reference , before I was medicated I was having a panic attack multiple times a day, everyday.

If your family has a history of heart conditions, keep it checked. Even if they do diagnose you  with anxiety, stay on top of it. I was wrongly diagnosed with fibro in my early 30's and had a heart attack at 37. It almost cost me my life, because I waited to go to the hospital thinking it was just fibro acting up. In actuality, I had blockages, but my dr ignored my family's heart history and blew it off because of my age.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
