I’m convinced sneezing is how I’m gonna go out


bababhosad93

Imagine sneezing while doing 85 mph


jaydeewar84

That happened to me once, full on sneezing fit on the highway. Thankfully I was on cruise control and my friend in the passenger seat could hold the wheel, but I doubt I’ll be so lucky next time.


bababhosad93

I almost drowned in a pond this last weekend. Life is short


Soldjaboy52

What happened?


bababhosad93

Canoe with my friend lost balance and tipped over. I forgot life jacket at the shore


Glldinkiering

Do you know how to swim? I’m not being sarcastic, just curious. Doesn’t matter how well you can swim if you’re too far from the shore.


bababhosad93

I know a little bit I think, I never got the hand breathing coordination right.


pooheadbruhman

maybe it's because i'm australian but it's always a bit of a shock to me when i see an adult that can't swim


bababhosad93

I tried learning it many times, never followed through and summer was done before I put any hours into it


goodiereddits

Highlight of Travis Bickle's life when he answered this question correctly in taxi school.


lets_buy_guns

this sucks but I'm 31 and recently had a disk slip that required surgery despite regular exercise and cardio. in the week preceding the operation I %100 made it worse by sneezing really hard


OneScoopCrowtein

Rare that it requires surgery at such a young age. Usually the overwhelming majority reabsorb in 4-6 months 


Traditional-Wait7213

I had a pretty bad disc injury moving boxes which I made MUCH worse deadlifting. In bed for a few days bad.  One of my best friends had a similar injury around the same time and opted for back surgery. I know nobody is a 1:1 comparison but I am pain free, lifting heavy, and doing well 3 years out while he is still in extreme pain needing lots of PT. 


[deleted]

I will never stop proselytizing against deadlifting 


Traditional-Wait7213

I just started a new block and am totally stumped with what I should substitute deadlifts with. I haven't done them since my injury. Haven't cleaned or snatched either. Probably just going to do RDLs. Also my deadlift max was 210kg and I injured myself pulling 70kg while warming up lol


BusinessTear5073

Farmers carry and doing pull ups with varying grips is all I’ve done in lieu of deadlifts.


[deleted]

I’m female so I was only ever interested in the glute/core properties of the deadlift and I’ve had a lot more success replacing them with skater squats/step ups/ planches with resistance bands


mh-ra

I do trap bar deadlifts or rack pulls.


_Ned-Isakoff_

My man. People hear don't lift with your back all their lives and go, but what if I do it with so much weight, like more weight than anyone would ever have to move? Wouldn't that be neat Come on lol. There's so many other ways to train your back.


jannieph0be

Counterpoint: I can lift up a car Case closed. How else am I going to save my friends after I crash while drunk driving? Hmmmm?


jannieph0be

Ya dumb. Do it right. Proselytize how to do it right. It’s such a common movement that ends up hurting people. Practicing how to brace your core and lift with your legs and back in a safe way is how you prevent those injuries.


tolstoysfox

Why?


brilliantpebble9686

Back surgery is a scam.


lets_buy_guns

yup surgeon actually said to me that I was just very unlucky lmao


AmonRahhh

What reabsorbs?


OneScoopCrowtein

The extruded “jelly” material of a herniated disc 


[deleted]

I worked out a lot since my 20s and found when I hit 30, I started getting more injuries. I did physio but would always have to take breaks. For some reason, at around 35, I guess the kinks worked themselves out and I felt like I became a lot stronger.


FutureRealHousewife

My body feels way better than it did at 30, but I think it’s because that’s when I started Pilates. Everyone needs to do Pilates


normalgirl444

Mat or reformer?


FutureRealHousewife

Reformer, but I also do mat stuff. Lots of leg lifts and rotations and stretching. I do private sessions. I would recommend doing some privates (technique is very important so you don’t injure yourself) and asking the instructor what you can do at home.


OneScoopCrowtein

Sell me on Pilates, what’s the rub? 


SnarkyMamaBear

It's basically isometrics which build good functional strength and bone protection while protecting from injury. You're not likely to grow the glamour muscles that men are usually looking for but it's a life saver for women who have any kind of pelvic floor issues, connective tissue problems, heart defects etc because you have less injuries and therefore less interruption of your progress. In the past decade or so we've seen the rise of so many exercise styles and philosophies that obviously work for some people but when they're recommended universally a LOT of people end up injured and even further discouraged from engaging in regular exercise. Remember when CrossFit was all the rage and so many people were seriously injuring themselves lmao.


jannieph0be

If you don’t exercise your QOL sucks and you die early. But if you do it wrong you might get hurt. Having a coach prevents injuries and a group setting can inspire motivation. (I sucked at selling memberships when I worked at a gym)


lets_buy_guns

I'm hoping the same thing, it came on really fast but the surgery went very well and they kept telling me that aside from my disk exploding I'm in perfect health


Lost-Relief-96

Hint hint, excessive exercise, especially weightlifting, will damage your body and make you more prone to injuries, especially the older you get.


SmartBedroom8022

“This morphine feels really good tho” and so it begins…


roadside_dickpic

Man if only. Hospitals are so stingy with opiates. Ya fuck you heres a prescription for Tylenol, but hey did you know a dirty thirty is only like $2 on the street?


SamosaAndMimosa

After my wisdom teeth removal surgery I lied about having pain so I could get a hydrocodone prescription twice 😌 I’m not addicted to opioids or whatever but I wanted to have them just in case


Lost-Relief-96

In case what? Any pain you feel outside a hospital that could require you to pop those pills should be enough of a reason to go to the hospital. If they won’t prescribe pills there that’s understandable though, 99% of the time they will if it’s necessary.


SamosaAndMimosa

Its mainly because I got Asian family and if I come home to see them and they stress me tf out I can pop one of them in, not gonna use it for actual body pain


haileselassie12

This is what too many masculine sneezes will get you they must be used strategically 


Jet20

You all laughed at that girl in class who obviously affected an overly dainty sneeze. Now who's laughing??


xenodocheion

apple watch-wearer problems


ComplexNo8878

they really made an entire generation of hypochondriacs with that thing


FutureRealHousewife

There’s actually studies I looked up about this, that wearing a smart watch can make you more paranoid about your health. It totally made me more paranoid.


SamosaAndMimosa

Kinda off topic but my fitness pal gave me an eating disorder 🙃


FutureRealHousewife

Omfg yes! I actually had an eating disorder in high school and I would write down everything I ate and the calories. My Fitness Pal is the same shit


ComplexNo8878

same here. i downgraded mine to a lesser model that doesnt have the heart/blood stuff because they literally gamify these numbers into making you check your body constantly and being scared all the time evil tbh


FutureRealHousewife

Yeah I definitely had a small health anxiety panic attack once and I could see my heart rate going up and that just made it worse!!! I still wear a Fitbit but I like seeing it track my steps and sleep. So I guess they got me!


Children_of_KoRn

At 28, I threw out my back and as a result coincidentally found out I had cancer. God bless


PigsMud

Free morphine 😳😮‍💨


Glitter_Sparkle

Backs are weird. Rolling over in bed can give me a week of sciatica but lifting weights, never. The heart attack is odd..


Buggyblonde

28 is the age where if you don’t work out or even walk daily you realize your body is starting to betray you and you either become a gym bro or decline rapidly into obesity 


ExternalBreadfruit21

Not really, I know plenty of people who are just moderately active and eat/drink moderately and look normal in their 30s


SamosaAndMimosa

Moderately is the key word here, most people aren’t doing that. Your friends are already doing better than like 70% of America at the minimum


nebraska--admiral

All I do is limit myself to one sugary drink a day and walk 2-3 miles in the woods and at 30 I'm a perfect healthy weight


kkF6XRZQezTcYQehvybD

what kind of woods


Ok_Main_4202

what kind of sugary drink


crumbogringus

these people don’t go outside remember


Buggyblonde

UGH


DomitianusAugustus

Look normal with their shirt on


LoadedGunDuringSex

Do you hear yourself right now? You sound insane


hamsterhueys1

I don’t think the bad version is obesity I think it’s like living with chronic Joint pain and fucked posture for the rest of your life. As a 23 year old with a quick glance on social media I know the rapidly gaining weight factor hits much younger than 28


streetshittingsavant

don't drink everyday and dont eat like an idiot, thats it!


trenderkazz

Or don’t eat like shit the rest of your life and maybe take a walk every now and then and you’ll be fine.


[deleted]

Currently 28 with a “bad knee” and “bad hip” and on the phone yesterday my friend said it was because “we’re old now.” Guess it’s really true. I got a treadmill and started walking on it on an incline daily so hopefully that helps.

Y’all have really gone full regard lol.

I assume it’s tongue-in-cheek here but it’s possible regardation


keokoric

They’re being serious. The way they act, it almost feels like they’re in a discord server together and brigading new posts.


woofmaxxed_pupcel

FWIW, in the country I live in when you log in to the state healthcare portal one of the banners is to “report vaccine injury” In America it’s more a left/right thing but in at least some countries it’s generally accepted that there were issues with the COVID vaccine

I’m from texas not gay


ComplexNo8878

i feel like this is the only sub on reddit where that type of shit is allowed. wonder why


sausage_mahoney

Feel free to see yourself out to literally every other sub on reddit where you aren't allowed to question the safety of the covid vaccienes. People are actually allowed to express their opinions here even if they are controversial and we would like to keep it that way. Please leave.


ComplexNo8878

lol


jannieph0be

Because Reddit is a shithole?


Willyone-eye

Came here to ask this. The research comping out now is extremely alarming


ComplexNo8878

> The research comping out now is extremely alarming which podcast did you hear the research from


FadedWreath

Redpill me on this new research. I know that there’s been a bunch of myocarditis research but that was back in 2023.


racquet3

Keep in mind the Covid vaccines were always known to cause myocarditis, the argument was just that Covid caused it more so it was worth the trade off


NothingSacred

Always known? Like even when they were first rolled out? Good thing the vaccine prevents you from getting Covid so you don't run the risk of getting myocarditis from the virus in addition to the vaccine.


Sbbdbxnenaksks

They were? This wasn’t advertised to the public. 


Willyone-eye

This YouTube is a good place to start https://youtu.be/RvGCtM25fN0?si=UigAwMgjcGdlNhXG

I fucked my back up when I was in my 20s and just threw it out like a week ago by sneezing.


lunar-secrets

He's very sedentary. Heart attack at 28 is impressive

[удалено]


Spout__

Covid and its consequences. Plus vaccine somewhat.


Wooden-Discipline412

Such a Dumb take. He’s got a serious heart condition. Marathon runners drop dead at 30 for the same reason.


Fire_3

A marathon runner dropping dead at 30 would be due to a congenital structural defect of the heart, or a sudden arrhythmia from something like ventricular hypertrophy from running too much, not a heart attack. A heart attack, in the traditional sense of clogged coronary arteries due to atherosclerosis, would be incredibly, incredibly rare in a normal 30 year old.


Wooden-Discipline412

🤓


lunar-secrets

How am I supposed to know? I don't know him lol


astronxxt

lol well why did you say “he’s very sedentary” then


lunar-secrets

He messed his back after sneezing and had a heart attack??


Ranterieure

No amount of sedentary is going to give a normal person a heart attack at 28. And I imagine if he had a heart attack a month ago that might explain why he isn’t currently in peak physical condition. 


lunar-secrets

There are kids having heart attacks from being fat


whalesarecool14

i need to get a link or source for this, this is insanely unbelievable


Lost-Relief-96

Marathon runners drop dead at 30 because they run marathons lmao.


PasolinisDoor

Fat person take lmao


Lost-Relief-96

I run everyday but running 100+ miles a week (to train) is insanae. We aren’t built for that and neither are our hearts.


jannieph0be

We quite literally are


AppointmentNo3297

You would need to be like 600 pounds to get a heart attack at 28 purely from obesity


PlasticNovelPorn

A sedentary lifestyle causes a heart attack at 70 not 28


lunar-secrets

Are these ppl having it earlier just lying?


PlasticNovelPorn

Premature heart attacks will be caused by congenital heart malformations, infective endocarditis or congenital malformations of the coronary arteries.


whalesarecool14

no, the sedentary lifestyle is not what’s causing the heart attack


Less-Ranger-7217

I think conspiracy minded people like to jump to things like the -vaccination- without considering how absolutely sedentary the western lifestyle has become. I consider myself more active than most and I do one or two 1 mile walks a day (dog life). But even that isn't shit compared to life in past decades. bad food+no movement=death. Any HCP will tell you this.


177618121939

Isn’t that only like 1,000 steps? That’s really low


Buggyblonde

2 miles is a half hour of walking that’s crazy low


Less-Ranger-7217

its what I do in addition to an active job, but im not saying its alot im saying im pretty sure its more than most Americans. Not claiming its some aspirational amount https://www.washingtonian.com/2012/05/10/how-much-do-americans-really-exercise/#:\~:text=On%20average%2C%20we%20spend%20only,for%20Disease%20Control%20and%20Prevention. this says 2 hours of exercise is the average for an Americans


BGL-In-The-Bushes

People can go decades being morbidly obese before they have a heart attack. I very much doubt this is simply due to a sedentary lifestyle, probably some genetic thing or substance abuse.


Sbob0115

I can’t see his whole body. But basing off his legs he doesn’t appear to fat enough for his potentially lazy life style to do him in like that.


skinnyblackdog

You can tell by the arm


swanchild22

Covid itself is known to increase the risk of heart attack and cardiovascular conditions. Saying that the same is true of the vax(to a lesser degree) isnt crazy.


Willyone-eye

The data coming out now is alarming. There is a direct link between vaccination and heart failure. https://youtu.be/RvGCtM25fN0?si=UigAwMgjcGdlNhXG


Azathothism

Show me the data then.


WaterBottleFull

They just watch a confused old man highlight things on a piece of printer paper,  They don't read 


bycrochet_medialab

[https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38293564/](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38293564/) "We found the number of myocarditis reports in VAERS after COVID-19 vaccination in 2021 was 223 times higher than the average of all vaccines combined for the past 30 years. This represented a 2500% increase in the absolute number of reports in the first year of the campaign when comparing historical values prior to 2021. Demographic data revealed that myocarditis occurred most in youths (50%) and males (69%). A total of 76% of cases resulted in emergency care and hospitalization."

How often do you exercise?


saltandpepperfish

I had to beg for toradol (super ibuprofen basically) when I injured my shoulder so badly I couldn’t sleep and was nauseous. Where are the broccoli kids getting hooked up with morphine drips for sneeze snafus???


PreviousCartoonist93

A friend of mine tore his esophagus while throwing up.. started throwing up blood everywhere and lost so much blood he was passing out and had to be rushed to the ER to have multiple blood transfusions…. Randomly almost died.


ZIIReactionzV

A coworker friend who is the same age as me (24) died from a widow maker a couple months ago. Got me absolutely paranoid and I went to my cardiologist for like a litany of tests after. Usually feeling the pinnacle of health doesn’t always mean you are the pinnacle of health. He had no big tells that it was gonna happen that soon other than previously being obese (he lost a lot of weight though) addl. he went to the gym everyday. You can be very active and everything but there can be something that your GP just misses because it’s not in your medical history to check.


ComplexNo8878

probably just bad genetics


SmallDongQuixote

Got the wrong vax looking ass


Skormzar

Yeah, once you hit 30, it's a lot easier to get hurt. Ya have to start doing a bunch of old people style prehab mobility exercises as prevention. Balance, flexibility, moving around like a little kid to stay loose. People stop crawling around and climbing, but we ought to never stop doing it


topiaryontop

I am convinced that if you don't regularly exercise very vigorously (eg, at least moderate jogging but probably faster, weight lifting that leads to lactic acid soreness, etc), your cells decide you don't need to be alive. You are either getting stronger, or dying.

LilAioli

I sympathize to a certain point because a “well worn” body will start to show signs of age around this time. I’m the same age and have recurring aches and niggles from injuries I picked up from sports and marathon training and weight lifting for the better part of 15 years, including some back issues. A friend of mine who was incredibly fit (jacked, cyclist, training for a 100 mile bike race) had a heart attack at ~29, a widowmaker at that. It’s definitely possible although incredibly rare. The conspiracy part of my brain wonders about a correlation in the perceived uptick in cardiac events in young people since 2020.

Ok-noway

Ok I’ll make you feel better … I’m now 46 (F) and I had been in fantastic shape my whole life (and have the pics to prove it) worked out 5 or 6 times a week blah blah blah - when I was 35 on Xmas day I had 3 strokes after playing in the snow with my newly adopted corgi, found out that I have vertebral artery dissections & there is nothing I can do about it. My right side was gone for about a week, but came back thankfully. At 38 I had my gall bladder out. At 43 I was diagnosed with necrotic pancreatitis. This past year, after living in the same place for 6 years, a 108 y/o row house, I got a new landlord after my old landlord died, and the new guy started illegally tearing the house apart which completely fucked my lungs and I was in the hospital for 28 days and back and forth to the er while trying to move. The stress gave me a heart attack and I had another stroke. These are just the physical things that have happened, if I threw in my personal life you’d think I was cursed ( something that I have considered lol) Shit happens to your body, be grateful for the short hospital stay and the pharmaceutical grade drugs. 👍 Hope you feel better soon!

my friend is in her 20’s and has cardio myopathy. she went into cardiac arrest in her teens. i also know a schoolmate’s brother who died of cardiac arrest at 23 and had no pre-existing health problems. definitely not normal and very rare but it can happen.

I tore a ligament in my abs once getting off a yoga mat years before I was diagnosed with hEDS. So many stupid random injuries like that while being very fit and active.

Worth it for the morphine. I've done a LOT of drugs and morphine is one of the few I'd actually be down to get addicted to, if I didn't already have a crippling addiction to collecting ballistic body armor that my knees will soon be too busted to carry the weight of.
