I had a Heart Attack.

Well, earlier today I had a Heart Attack, minor, but it was still a Heart Attack.

Turns out I have high blood pressure, which after a long time could cause a heart attack. Well, after going and looking through the family tree, looks like a lot of my relitives have had high blood pressure. It runs in the family I guess.

Well guess what the EMT asked me about the pain?

"Steven, how bad was the pain? 1 as little or no pain to 10 as worst pain ever."

"A 10 of course!"

Well, I'm okay now. Just got home. It's been a LONG day... And painful.

I'm only Thirteen, and not heavy... I don't know how I had a Heart Attack. Oh well. On with my life.

Just everyone remember, don't take life for granted. Someday you'll find out if you take your life for granted. Just you wait.

Yeah they got me on the High-blood pressure pills.

Yeah, genetics really are terrible. Unfortunately for me Kidney Stones runs in my family which as some of you may know is probably the most painful thing someone can guy through. For example, my dad had to have his back sliced open to remove a Kidney Stone the size of a peach from him. Little to big to pass on your own I think...

Anyways, enough with my life story, hope you feel better and hopefully don't have to experience it again as I'm sure it was pretty terrifying.

Could've been trapped... er.... wind

My heart beats 10 times a second and I've never had any problems. I'm 20 years old.

Sure... 600 times a minute means instant death.

Yike. I hope you are OK now. And yes, genetic heart problems is a pain. You can get through this, just one small step at a time.

OH MY GOD STEFEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111!!!!@@@!!@!!!

Josh told me over Xbox Live and I swear I nearly had a heart attack when he told me about it. I'm so glad your OK

Seriously though, I was really really worried for you. Having a heart attack at the age of 13, even if it is only minor, can be oh-so fatal in the future. I remember my dad has had kidney stones in the past, and each time they just get bigger.

You claim you're 20, so it must have been a while since your last health class, hm? Or even biology, for that matter. The average beats per minute is like 70. We had to do a lab on the effects of activities on our heartbeats in biology this year. My resting heartbeat was 57 and after moving around and doing some exercises went up by like 8. So I highly doubt your heart beats 600 times a minute.

And to Steven, as long as your medication helps and you don't go overboard on the cholesterol-infested foods, you should be okay, but I'm no doctor..
