Recently I’ve diagnosed with some heart problems and they have recommended me to avoid getting excited.
I recall that when I played Tarkov my pulse could get above 120 beats per minute in certain situaciones. I wanted to install Tarkov but I’m curious if there is a real risk.
May I ask you about the nature of your heart problems exactly?
Because a “heart attack” is not actually a medical thing. What people usually mean when they say “heart attack” is what we call a myocardial infarction (lack of blood flow to the heart muscle caused by a blockage or constriction in a coronary artery.) And less commonly people use the term “heart attack” to refer to cardiac arrest where the heart just stops beating for some reason. (Myocardial infarction can turn into cardiac arrest, but cardiac arrest can happen because of any number of other things as well.)
So do you have a confirmed occlusion of a coronary artery? Or do you have a diagnosed cardiac arrhythmia of some kind? What are they planning to do to treat you? Because “don’t get excited” isn’t a long term management strategy. It’s usually just to get you through until you find a successful treatment.

I had an anomalous cardiogram, he said that some of the current went missing, but is was very little and shouldn’t be worried. Also today I received a blood test with high cholesterol DHL (40 mg/dl) and high fibriogen plasma(4.66 g/L)
I’m asking for an appointment as soon as I get the written report so a doctor can interpret those for me and luckily plan a treatment.
Hmm, “current went missing” isn’t a phrase I’m used to hearing. I wonder if the cardiogram was indicating some level of heart block (often not a dangerous condition, just something to monitor).
With the high fibrinogen, they’re probably concerned about clotting. I wonder, did they check a blood test called d-dimer by chance?
I’m glad you’ll be seeing a doctor soon. We have a lot of good treatments for cardiac conditions these days.
Yeah kind of odd phrasing. I wonder if they are worried about triggering some a fib and throwing clots…
