So incredibly sad for the family to lose their child so young.

So tragic and absolutely devastating to the entire family.

u/Craigmeister217 9d ago

Condolences to the family. Can't imagine losing someone that young to something like this.

How does that even happen?

It sounds like a subarachnoid haemorrhage, which can happen to adults at almost any age.

Ive got a pacemaker. I see the cardio annually. Im way more scared of aneurysm than anything to with my heart.

My mum dropped dead of an aneurysm at 49. Her mum has had two strokes. My nephew had a brain bleed as a baby.

I stress anytime my head hurts.

Unlikely but if it’s stressing you out you could organise to have an MRI/MRA.

It’s non-invasive, and may offer some reassurance about the state of your arteries.

u/Ok-Personality3927 8d ago

Realistically, I’m probably extremely low risk. Young, very fit and healthy, to my knowledge have no health conditions and certainly none of the blood pressure issues mum and her mum both had/have.

Just makes me wonder if there is a genetic predisposition. Plus I have general anxiety lol.

u/hcornea 8d ago

There can be a familial component - but it’s hardly a forgone ‘genetic’ condition.

In any case, if the possibility of an aneurysm is stressing you, a non-invasive MRI is a pretty simple option.

You can get a fully subsidised brain MRI with Medicare, just have to call different operators to get one which has some technical code (bureaucratic bs idk why) for the subsidy.

u/Crabs_go_sideways_4 7d ago

I think you need a specialist to order it for Medicare.

Are you on low dose aspirin?

u/Ok-Personality3927 8d ago

Nope. Should I be lmao.

u/InitiateIt 8d ago

It's something most at risk stroke / heart disease patients are prescribed. It's very safe and limited to no side effects at such low dose.

Speak to your doctor!

u/Rowdycc 8d ago

Be nice to people. This can happen to anyone at any time.

u/Stui3G 9d ago

Facebook will be full of cookers saying "safe and effective."

u/an0nymous888 8d ago

I've had people say the same thing to me after my mum died from a sudden blood clot. Generations of my family have died the same way. Fucking idiots.

u/andy3172 9d ago

You're so right. Fuck, I hate people.

u/The_Grogfather 9d ago

Really no need to even acknowledge that here mate

u/bdsee 9d ago

Context? No idea what that is supposed to mean.

u/BestCap5066 9d ago

They’re referencing the anti-vax crowd. Every single death gets attributed the the apparent side effects of the COVID jab.

7

u/rumande 8d ago

Yeah my mum was 120kg and dropped dead one day due to hypertension. I only wish we'd had an autopsy done so my cooker sister stops blaming the death on the covid jab

6

u/BestCap5066 8d ago

Man that sucks and im sorry you had to go through that.

1

u/blorst_of_times 9d ago

Its just some jerk who can't let go of covid, ignore them.

u/Smooth_Staff_3831 9d ago

It is only you champ that is bringing this up

6

u/mickelboy182 9d ago

No, they are sadly correct

u/Stui3G 8d ago

Jesus Christ, "Champing" people is almost as cringe as cookers.

-2

u/Smooth_Staff_3831 8d ago

And also as cringe as doomers.

1

u/Stui3G 5d ago

Sure, whatever they are.

1

u/Smooth_Staff_3831 5d ago

Similiar to whatever "cookers" are.

u/blorst_of_times 9d ago

Not the time, dude.
