In complete shock. So so scared right now.

@Tonyy The intrusive thoughts about heart health have been my biggest thing to deal with lately. And then also experiencing the physical pains. And then hearing this is not what i needed at all. I cant help but read comments and all im seeing is heart attack, heart attack, heart attack. And some are saying how sad for a 24 year old to have a heart attack. And im only a few years younger so now my mind is racing about this happening to me. Other comments are reading that is was a blunt of force to the chest probably from the tackle. Comments like this make me feel better but i am so worried for him.

@artsygirl Thank you. I keep reminding myself that it could have been such a forceful hit from the tackle where it just stunned his heart. But now my mind is racing about my heart just stopping and the same thing will happen to me basically.

@Anon17 It may not be heart related. Our bodies are complex so we need to try to live with the uncertainty of not knowing what happened until we hear the report. I too am praying for him and his family though. I also understand this is scary when you’re in the midst of it .

@artsygirl It was announced late last night the he suffered from cardiac arrest. So it was heart related. I keep reading about how there’s a scientific name for having a forceful hit to the chest that sends you into cardiac arrest. I keep telling myself that he got tackled and this is what happened but my mind is telling me that it just happened randomly and it’ll happen to me too. But for right now he is in critical but stable condition and his vitals are back to normal. So i guess it could be a step in the right direction and hopefully we keep getting positive updates 😔

@Anon17 I saw this too. Very sad. I’d recommend not reading anymore as it can be a form of checking.

@Anon17 Hi, you need to remember he is playing a high intensive sport, believe or not it has happened a lot in sport games just last year whilst I was watching the Euros football (soccer) cup one of the players suffered a heart attack mid way through the game, for me it was like omghhhh this is so scaryyyyy, however he survived and is still playing football in fact he plays at a higher level in one of the top clubs. I know this might scare you but you can look at it as your exposure and be like hmmm this may happen to me, or it may not happen

@Habu Thank you so much. I keep trying to tell myself that it was Rough contact right to his chest and thats why this happened but its like its not working. My mind is so fixed on This happening to me. You’re eight i could use this as an exposure however it brings me so much anxiety and when my anxiety peaks my heart rate gets faster and then because my heart rate is fast i think that something is wrong.
