Title: Medical conditions?
Post by: Travis on February 07, 2009, 09:31:37 AM
Do you have any potentially major medical conditions or problems?

I used to have a heart defect, my heart would occasionally beat 250+ bpm if i got too tired from running around or whatever. I had a laser surgery to correct it, but it occasionally flutters and it's kind of weird.

My heart flutters for about 3 seconds every few months, but I don't think it's anything serious.

My family has a long history of cancer, drug/alcohol addiction, strokes, and heart attacks, so I really need to take care of myself. Most of my family members died before even reaching 60, but overall I think I'm doing pretty well so far. Also, my father might be developing some sort of crazy mental disorder, and pretty much everyone in his family is insane.

So I have a big risk of getting screwed up later in life, but for now, I'm the healthiest of us all.

I had a heart murmur when I was a baby, where my heart didn't beat with a tempo, just kinda sporadically.

It's okay now, my heart rate when I'm in bed is like 60, but I noticed it doesn't take much to get my heart rate up.

I remember in Middle School my bpm after running was always ~200 - 300 bpm, and I'd tell the teacher that, and she'd be like "WHAAAAAT" and take off 100.
I never knew that was a problem saddood;

Anyways, my family has a history of cancer, though I don't have it. Or at least not yet. And PTSD is major, right? I guess that counts too. Also I was born as one of those babies who come out dead, but then randomly come back to life.

Physically I'm in pretty good shape. I mean, I have scoliosis, but who really cares about that?

I had a severe liver infection in my childhood, other than that I'm fine.
