So, it's been...like what...2 days or something after I went into Cardiac Arrest during my sleep. The docs told me after they told me what happened that the side effects of the Cardiac Arrest should go away after about 12 hours or so...it's already Saturday...and my chest is still fuckin' killing me everytime I take in deep breaths, and it feels like someone's putting a red hot branding iron on my heart everytime I yawn...feels like I'm dying everytime I yawn, is what I'm trying to say. Not only that, but I get really dizzy whenever I turn my head really fast. You know that feeling you get after you get of a tilt a whirl? One of these things: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mt5VwR4sa.....lt-a-whirl.jpg And you turn your head in one direction, it feels like your entire body is moving in that direction or the opposite direction? Yeah, that's what it feels like. Plus, it feels like my heart grew twice as big as it was before, cause I literally can feel it like, pumping against the inside of my chest, even see my chest buldging with each beat.
Told the doc who's takin' care of me this morning, and he said that it's not usual for patients to experience severe chest pains a couple days after going into Cardiac Arrest. He said there are some cases, but the chest pains usually pass after the third day. But he said just to be on the safe side, he'd do some tests and things. So he listened to my heart, checked this and that with blood pressure and all that, did all this stuff with electrodiagram whatever and all those other monitor stuff...
Turns out that I have an irregular hear beat, or Heart Arrhythmia. And according to the doc, it's a bit rare for patients to get Heart Arrhythmia after going into Cardiac Arrest...so, I gotta take all these drugs and things to get my heart beat rhythm back to normal, and stabilize it. Man, getting this whole Cardiac Arrest thing from my dad's side of the family sucks. But you know, that just makes me special. Why? Because I'm the youngest one in my family to go into Cardiac Arrest at age 20. New family record for the win! And you know what else? It's a good thing that I'm in good health, and have my mom's genes, because without her low blood pressure, I wouldn't have put up that journal yesterday, or even be typing this journal today. I would be on the autopsy table right now, or even in the freezer in the morgue. So, genes for the win! ^^
Why am I being so optimistic about this whole heart problem thing? Because I hate being a downer. I hate talking about such depressing things and making other people depressed and sad for me when they hear about my situation. I just don't like being that guy that's always...negative and depressing in nature. That's why I have an optimistic nature. I always take things with a smile, whether it be a sad thing, or a bad situation. That's why, I can't even tolerate negative thoughts or feelings. Cause I just wouldn't feel like a human being if I ever had a negative thought or feeling.
Anyways, just popped in again real quick to tell you guys about my situation. I'm probably not going to be active for a while, at least not until after the holidays, or until after Dani wakes up from the coma.
And you know what this whole coma thing has got me wondering? How does the human body survive so long without food in a coma? Yeah, the whole IV thing is a good substitute, but that's like, the minimal amount of nurishment the body really needs. Also...how do you go to the bathroom while in a coma? :/
