A guy I know, 35 years old, not overweight, non-smoker had a massive heart attack. They were able to get his heartbeat back but he's now on life support. WTF, he's 35.
 
my brother-in-laws nephew had one at 27 and ended up having a triple bypass by age 36.

the guy was in really good shape also. worked out all the time (he was a EMT so kinda had to) and ran nearly daily.

now he has to take it easy and take meds.
 
One of my cousins dropped dead of a massive heart attack several years ago when he was in 32. Dude was in excellent shape. Ate right, worked out, never smoked, only drank a beer or two occasionally, never did drugs, etc...... basically lived right and clean but still had a heart attack so massive they said he was dead before he hit the ground.
 
My wife's cousin 's husband died mysteriously of a heart attack, but every one in the family thinks she poisoned or killed him. She had a quick funeral.

That sucks, but it happens. It's mostly hereditary.

truth.

he could still have out of this world cholesterol levels even if he did all the right things and appeared in good health or it could be a congenital heart abnormality that hadn't revealed itself.

that is most likely. you could be skinny as a stick and have a cholesterol level of 300+. luckily my cholesterol is only 100😛

really 100? that's pretty low.
 
Well get this. I am in my mid 20's, I am mildly overweight (10-20 lbs coding-belly ), was a light smoker (and I had quit for 2 months at that point). Cholesterol, blood pressure, glucose level all normal. No family history of any significant problems.

Six months ago I woke up one night to use the toilet, I headed to my room's toilet and as soon as I got to there, out of no where my whole body went ablaze! I was hitting my back against the wall as hard as I could, I could feel my heart tearing apart I realized I was having a heart attack (Unfortunately I had no time to post on AT about it considering the circumstances so sorry, but I am sure it would have been an interesting thread, title: U gewys I ma Hvnidgf a he...)

I was living alone in my apartment, my mobile was way out of reach in the living room and I just didn't have the energy to go there!
All I was able to do was take a few steps and lay on my bed face down from the pain in my chest. I remember my last and only thoughts at that moment: I never thought I would go like this at such an early time with over half of my life goals unachieved, oh well when you gotta go you gotta go I guess. And at that point I lost awareness.

I was awoken 15 hours later by the sound of two sparrows, it was a nice sunny Saturday and I guess the sparrows decided that they needed to celebrate my survival by fscking on my bedroom's window as hard as possible.

I was like 😕 WTF are all the angels, demons and all that good sht? Ain't I dead?

So oddly enough I was full of energy I got into my car and rushed myself to the ER. The Dr was like oh F I you really had a heart attack, there are proteins in your blood analysis that say so. I did an array of tests everything you can think of, I even had a Catherization which came back negative. The Dr told me I am healthy and besides from a small rise in blood pressure due to the incident (to which he prescribed a med for) I was good to go.

So after spending a week in the ICU no one could figure why it happened or if it will happen again.

So go figure.
