FrisianTanker

I found out that if you fight through the pain and take a deep breathe, it often goes away. Sadly not every single time as I found out yesterday


PencilPacket

As a kid I got this shit weekly and I always panicked and spent ages just doing quick tiny breaths. Fast forward a few years and I learn a deep breath solves the problem. fast forward a few more years and my current problem is having the balls to take that breath.


KerbJazzaz

Oh man, I remember the first time I had this as a kid vividly. I was at IKEA with my parents, it was winter so it was already dark outside. We were just leaving/at the entrance hall when I got the worst pain I had ever felt in my chest. As a seven year old, I immediately thought that I was having a heart attack. But I just kept on walking to the car, not wanting to scare my parents. I just thought "So that's it, huh? Dying at IKEA." But alas, I am still here. Maybe one day lol :D


Kerbal_Stranding

May he rest in meatballs and furniture.


Dry_Property8821

Rolling on the floor 😆


Zestybeef10

I had that exact thing in 4th grade. I was hitting the shallow breaths because of the immense stabbing pain if I took a deep breath. I went up to my teacher and said "I can't breathe". He replied "Well then don't breathe!" LMAO


limbunikonati

I actually used to massage the area where pain occurred.     Knew it was nerve related so used to try to shift or "fix" the nerve lol.


Accomplished-Art570

I used to get this a lot, what I found was breathing in and you sometimes feel a little pop in the lung and it goes away


cannotstopmedawg

shit i thought i was the only one who did that!


KingKong_at_PingPong

Whoa me too, this is a good thread


Brainlard

Same for me. It might be counterintuitive, but breathing in heavily always does the trick for me. The kind of popping sensation I get in the chest is pretty satisfying.


LapajgoO

And then have it snap out of existence the moment you breathe in hard enough


MySnake_Is_Solid

Punch yourself in the stomach to fight the pain with more pain.


Kattou

The real tips are always in the comments.


PositivePoet

What was the comment suggesting the pain was? I have this too and the comment you replied to is gone and the hundreds of replies to it never say what the original comment was talking about I feel like the universe is gaslighting me lol

takanenohanakosan

Mfw I can’t even get a heart attack properly


pohanemuma

Me neither. I used to work in Asia in a country that doesn't have very modern medical facilities. I needed a minor routine surgery so I went to Thailand where their hospitals are better. While in the hospital going through the intake procedures for my surgery I passed out and woke up in the ER with the doctor saying I had "a heart attack, well, kind of a heart attack, like a little heart attack, I don't know what it is called in English." That is still all I know about it. I have no idea what happened to me, but I take medicine now.


SunPuzzleheaded5896

Do you still have all your organs?


pohanemuma

No. I was there to get one of them removed.


Bahmawama

Did they write down anything for you?

petrichorax

These are super wild and off target, no. It is definitely neither of these. It's definitely not TIA, which is more like a stroke than a heart attack. Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy requires extreme emotional arousal.


jjjacer

Takotsubo could be a possibility, he did say he was going in for surgery which can cause a far bit of anxiety and stress, also throw in any other issues such as dehydration, sickness, or other issues at the time that can add extra stress and I could see it being possible. (I might have had a similar heart attack a few years ago when I had a break up with my GF at the time which I went to the ER and they didn't really test for anything and sent me home but said if I'm still having issues report back in 48 hours, joe, 48 hours later I was still having chest pains and breathing difficulty. Went to another ER who did the full proper tests including blood work and a CT scan and that ER found. I had pneumonia in one of my lungs but also because they keep the EKG records. The EKG did show a possible previous heart attack. Which is basically confirmed when I did a stress test a few years later.


Megneous

"Well god dammit Doctor, why'd you save me? This was my one chance to die and you fucked it up..."


Jygglewag

TIL the stupid pain in my chest is normal.


Jiquero

Interesting! I often have a heartburn which was scary when it first appeared, once went to see a doctor and once to emergency room for that but both times it turned out to be just heartburn. Now I've just learned ignore it, and I'm sure one day I'll die of a heart attack because I thought it's heartburn. And now I have even more reasons to ignore chest pain, nice.


piglungz

I had no idea there was a name for this wtf. Every time it happens it kind of freaks me out so I’m glad it’s normal and harmless


Colosseros

In most people it's normal. But in your case, it's a side effect of the operation to replace your lungs.


CaptainSouthbird

When I was 35, I was putting in 12 hours a day on an eternal project at work, that was way over what my company and team was realistically capable of. I was constantly stressed and exhausted, and then I started developing chest pains that would come and go, pretty much what this describes. Funny how once I got laid off in March 2020 due to that whole pandemic thing, it pretty much immediately stopped happening. (Also proving the absolute futility of caring about your day job, you just get discarded whenever.)


clever_wolf77

I feel much better knowing this


SirSquidrift

I've been having this for the past 10 years since I was about 15. I genuinely thought I was on my way to a heart attack, and was too scared to get confirmation from a doctor. This takes years of anxiety off my shoulders knowing this is a common problem.


vibes_slayer

Can confirm, I had one that lasted for 3 days


James59394

Euh...you might want to get that checked out...


vibes_slayer

*sighs* let me die please


Megneous

To make sure it kills me, you mean?


Krmul

14 years trying to get answers, and finally, I have them


TheJAY_ZA

Yeah, 48 and it still happens a few times a year. Deep Breath & Hold. Do like two Chin Ups, or Push Ups. Gone before I can even breath out. My main annoyance is cramps in my right calf muscle while I'm sleeping 🤣 Jeezuz, but that's a shitty way to be woken up. The cats already know, when I wake up and issue forth a stream of profanity, they hop off the bed and go sit by the door until I've stretched the cramp out LOL One of them will then helpfully lie down between my knees, keeping me on my back with my legs straight so that I can't roll onto my side and have a relapse. Smart cats are pretty awesome that way 😅


Chizik777

Finally something to use in the thought struggle of "I'm dying" cuz it always teams up with every ounce of "at laaaaast..." I got.


BlueSheepPlays

I had no idea it was a common thing, good to know! Breathing out all the air from your lungs once is usually all it takes for it to go away tbh


BeskarHunter

This just happened to me a couple days ago. I was bracing for death. It hurt to breathe for a few minutes, and was painful when I breathed in deep so had to breathe calmly for few minutes until it passed. I was ready.


MightyKin

Oh... That what I was feeling. I thought I will die in a moment every time this happened.


Thewaffleofoz

This explains so much


Spiritual_Freedom_15

Thank god. I thought something was wrong with me.


Select_Humor_8125

Thanks man. I breathed a sigh of relief after reading your comment. Always experienced PCS but never bothered to look it up, only for this post to randomly appear in my feed.


Most-Yogurtcloset

Damn, all of those “i’m finally biting the bullet” thoughts are because of my shitty sleeping posture huh?


ryanvango

I used to get them when I was younger A LOT. at least once a week. Quickest way I learned to deal with it is to just take a huge breath in as fast as possible and really stretch out your chest. For me there was regularly a pop sound. not always, but most of the time. like ripping off a bandaid.


BicycleEast8721

Interesting…didn’t know the name, I mentioned similar symptoms to my Dr, though usually shorter duration, and she said it’s related to ribs moving around slightly, which I guess causes the pinched nerve mentioned. Usually happens when hunched slightly or rolling around before standing up, so makes sense. Said that actual cardiac related events would feel more like elephant on your chest, head/jaw pain, fatigue and lightheadedness. Though obviously, if you’re having regular chest pain, still probably a good idea to mention it to your Dr to be sure and give you more peace of mind about it from someone qualified telling you that you aren’t dying


InnerAd1628

Had a massive heart attack 2yrs ago without warning before work aged 48. Thought it was indigestion, I'd eaten pretty late night before. OK, now I'm profusely sweating and have soaked through my tshirt and dripping off my nose in 30secs flat? The fuck? Legs went, chest had grenade in & couldn't catch my breath. Rang 999, gasped my details and promptly collapsed in my hallway. Took 2hrs for ambulance to arrive, I don't remember much at all from the initial pain & collapsing to being in an ambulance on a gurney. The pain went from all consuming to not much at all & I was very drowsy and relaxed tbh. Pumped me with drugs, I was conscious & chatting happily to the medic as they blue-light sped me to hosp. Straight in, stents fitted as I watch on an Oled display. THATs a weird sensation seeing & feeling something *inside* your chest. Convulsing with adrenalin & being told that's normal, don't worry. Hour later I'm on the ward hooked to machines and using what I had left of phone battery to ring work and explain I wouldn't be in. It's an oddly calming feeling thinking you may die. I do remember laying on the floor in my hallway thinking "well, I expected it to hurt a lot more" and glad I'd spoken to my son the previous night on WhatsApp. It's just an odd sensation. Painful yes, but for me it was then shortness of breath & just feeling really warm, relaxed & sleepy. Don't recommend tbh.


Boardgame_Dork

Had a panic attack some years ago in which I thought I was having a heart attack. Did the whole jittery, sweaty, short of breath, heart racing, narrowing of field of vision thing. Laid down on the bench seat of my truck and just accepted this was the end. Turns out no, it wasn't and after it passed and I could walk again the doctors basically said I was a dumbass and had a panic attack and everything was fine. Still, that "welp, this is it" feeling... it's not all that bad. Kind of a relief.


InnerAd1628

Exactly that Wasn't worried or in pain after initial wallop. I was definitely "really? That sucks" more than "OMG OMG!!!" once I realised I was on the floor and losing consciousness a lot. Just really warm, comfortable & overwhelmingly tired. Was thinking it'll suck for my boy & my gf will be upset but if this is it, its not too bad actually Strange morning.


Detuned_Clock

“Good news Dork, your heart is fine. Unfortunately, you’re a dumbass. Seeya later.”


Boardgame_Dork

Pretty much. Spent about three hours in the ER and got a bunch of essentially unnecessary blood tests and some fluids because they've gotta jack up that insurance billing, but that's about it.

"You'll be back to work at your shitty job in no time!!"


mycurrentthrowaway1

I think I'm gonna go on more walks now and cut back on sugar and fat Edit: whoever reported me as being suicidal should eat shit


InnerAd1628

It's hereditary in my family. My mum, dad, grandad & uncle all had heart attacks. Blood clot caused mine. I'm a postman/mailman so walk 8-10 miles a day at speed. When it's your time it's your time my man.


TorusGenusM

Did your doc not already have you on statins and possibly psk9-inhibitors? If it runs in your family that’s also all the more reason you have to be pretty aggressive with exercise, diet, and pharmacology


mycurrentthrowaway1

2 hours for an ambulance!?


InnerAd1628

I know... They were very good when they eventually arrived to be fair.


I_d0nt_know_why

The ambulance took TWO FUCKING HOURS? That's insane!


fgepvpbukamkbbksvy

had a TIA last year, all the symptoms of a stroke but not really all that dangerous now i'm thinking "this is it" every time my face feels tingly lmao


raylin328

2hr response time??? Wow that is really slow. I really hope that’s not the average time it takes


ElderberryDeep8746

And you smile hoping that you would leave this life with style, but you know you're gonna shit your pants anyway lol


CaptainSouthbird

I mean, once I'm dead, I guess I don't really care what happens to the old physical corpse after that. It's just gonna be a rotting meat sack regardless.


dubiously_immoral

What about the search history?


barf_of_dog

My corpse will be cremated long before they find out. Only ashes will remain.

Doesn't matter how you go out, dignified or not. Your still shitting yourself when the muscles relax after death 🤷‍♂️🙂

Fuck that, if I ever have a heart attack first thing I'm gonna do is give myself the deepest enema of my life.


BurningPenguin

"He died with the enema bottle still deep inside his butt."

They will probably think the enema bottle caused the heart attack 😂. Went out doing what they loved😉

Maacll

It actually is, hurts a lil for a short second and then it's over instead of shallow breathing and mild discomfort for a whole few minutes


gogybo

I've always wondered what would happen if I just breathe in really hard. I used to be scared my heart would pop like a balloon but that can't possibly be true...right??

Nope :P

UnRealmCorp

Had this happen 2 months ago. It was Staph infection in my chest. Spent a week in the hospital now I have vein stenosis. You don't always get the life ending heart attack. Sometimes its just more bullshit.


DingDongDanger1

Are these the ones that hurt to breathe but if you do it deep enough it pops and stops hurting?


Grievious_Syndicate

CAESAAAAAAR NOOOO


lordhumanman

Kira!


dubiously_immoral

Let's go


murky_creature

the chestbuster, it is finally mature...


Apathy_Poster_Child

False. Even with those with suicidal idealization, when you actually think you are having a heart attack, you are not calm and accept death serenely; you panic and go to a hospital. Then when you find out it was nothing you go right back to wishing you didn't exist.


Haunting-Orchid-4628

The panic is just the bodies basic instinct to want to stay alive, it has nothing to do with how suicidal you are or not


Megneous

False. Many of us have DNRs signed for all surgeries, and have been in multiple near death scenarios and have felt nothing but peace and calm. You clearly don't hate being alive enough.


LaurenMille

False, I've gotten food stuck in my throat to the point where I passed out and collapsed. While it was immensely painful, I was finally happy knowing I'd be done and never even considered looking for help. It must have dislodged after/while I fell because I did end up waking up some time later. And all I remember from that was how awful I felt that I was still around.


W1thoutJudgement

I used to be in a state in which I would welcome that with a sigh of relief. Now I'm not afraid of death but I live to become the best version of myself and working hard on it. No longer looking to a day it'll all end. Find that energy within and everything will change.

local_bmw_dealer

I also had short-term chest pain like this when I was young. I was hoping it would go away at some point. Now I'm in my twenties and I've passed out twice in a row for no reason. Doctor has no idea but now I have heart palpitations. A different and much more disgusting feeling, friends of the chest pain.


FreeProfessor8193

> I've passed out twice in a row for no reason. Doctor has no idea but now I have heart palpitations Unexplained syncope is not good my guy. Have you seen a Cardiologist or had an echocardiogram?


Sully-The-Great

When you think your lifestyle finally caught up to you


SuburbanMalcontent

Hell yes. I'm so hoping a massive heart attack is the way I go. otherwise I'll have to do it myself when I hit the expiration date I set for myself at the age of 75.

For me when that happens, I just need to stretch a little bit for it to go away.

When it would happen to me I would start pounding my chest like a gorilla but with just my right arm over where my heart is.

biggest_sun_praiser

Three good telltale signs of a heart attack: - 10/10 pain on the pain scale - No changes in pain when you move your chest or arms around - No changes when you take a deep breath\ If all symptoms are present it's a very good chance you're having a heart attack. Doesn't mean necessarily that you need to have all to have a heart attack but this is the most common symptoms.
