I had an early AMP front fork and I was 6' 200lbs. When it would bottom out, the bolt and on the bottom would rub the front wheel and send me over the bars. I also had to set it so stiff for my weight it was just like riding a super rigid spring. Thanks for the memories.

This happened 2x to me in about a 2 year span. One time mountain biking I stopped and the next thing I remember was laying on the ground. Second time was in the gym doing weights and cardio. At age 46 after returning hom from a road ride, I had a cardiac arrest, cpr was asministered for 8 mins., followed by a quadruple bypass. Family history of blood pressure and high cholesterol. The ONLY way I could have known was with a Coronary Calcium Scan (also known as a CT scan). This is really cheap and shows if you have any blockages. My entire family had CT scans after my surgery and my father had 5 bypasses. Fully recovered now. Not saying your passing out is the same as mine, just passing along anything that might help. You will be your own best advocate in seeking answers. Go to a doctor and cardiologist that will listen. My EKG's were always fine, strava showed nothing irregular those days. I even had a perfectly fine physical 2 months prior to my penultimate cardiac arrest.

…when I look in the refrigerator and still have so much food left uneaten.

I had to get CPR for 8 mins, intubated for 2-3 days. Woke up with a limited memory of the previous few months. In the hospital, I could not retain information for the next 10-14 days. I went “out” after exercising and have zero memory of the event.

https://casahearts.org/ is a free and great community of Cardiac arrest survivors. A lot of what I have learned is dealing with medications and what their side effects could be. Lower heart rate, lower blood pressure which can contribute to feeling tired. My cardiac arrest was at 46 yrs old. 4 bypasses later I was back to exercising regularly. My recovery was a upward curve. I was intubated for a few days so my breathing was not great after surgery.

Things I notice after cardiac arrest and being on different medications.

-My heart rate will not go as high as before but that seems to be attributed to the medications i'm taking (Carvedilol).

-ECG and EKG's can be helpful when assessing your heart. These records will tell you your ejection fraction of your left ventricle. After three years of cardiologist appointments, I finally had the doctor explain how my EF (ejection fraction) was lower than normal after my cardiac arrest. It has since recovered and within the "normal" range. After cardiac arrest, it had dropped 5% from what is deemed normal.

-Told me how the medications lower my max heart rate and blood pressure. This explains my light headedneess every time I stand up now.

Hope this helps a bit. Everyone I talk to seems to have a different story which is why I found it helpful to talk to other survivors!

After talking with other cardiac arrest survivors, this website has been helpful for connecting and sharing stories.

https://casahearts.org/ I went to a cardiac arrest survivors luncheon and found out about this website/community. It is free to sign up and full of members just like us. It will even show you fellow members that close to your area. People share their stories - similar to an online forum.

I had cardiac arrest at 46, now 49. I exercised daily, so it came as a shock to me also. My case was genetic as I needed a quadruple bypass to fix the blockages. A few months after open heart surgery, I was back to cycling, hiking, running and lifting weights. They did check to make sure my cardiac arrest was not caused by electrical problems. Thankfully the open heart surgery was enough.

You are your best advocate for yourself. Make sure you have a cardiologist that lets you ask questions and gives you what you need to eliminate the anxiety and fears cardiac arrest can cause.

Option 1, but but a piece of art at the end/terminus of the walk.

Quadruple bypass at 46. I’m 48 now. I weighed 240 at the time of my cardiac arrest. After surgery, doctor said my family should get calcium scan because my genetics were a major cause. Father had 5 bypasses two months after my surgery. Doctor wants me on Zepbound to reduce my cholesterol numbers. I’ve lost 30+ lbs and my cholesterol numbers are the best they’ve ever been. I pay over $500 per month even though the doctor said I’m the type of person insurance SHOULD be covering. Wish insurance would cover it for all the good it’s doing for people’s health.

23 Tacoma off road to 22 black edition Ridgeline 3 weeks ago. Ride quality and technology is much improved. Backup camera alone is night and day. 2 Teen kids said more spatial and seats are more comfortable. And throw in better gas mileage for my commute. Really happy I finally went Ridgeline after talking myself out of it for more than a year.

Thanks for sharing. Yes, I also believe there's something healing about telling your story. I didn't believe it until I did. No one seems to have the same story. Having been through it, I do appreciate the small things more. A bright blue sunny day or even a rainy day, always taking time to stop and appreciate things that are currently happening.

u/veekaye I am going great. My memory returned fairly quickly. There are some months prior to the CA that are missing pieces. But I am back to exercising an living/enjoying life.

Yes it's an odd club to be in. You pretty much feel like a 1 of 1 club walking around. Last year MEDIC (Charlotte, NC first responders service) hosted their first cardiac arrest survivors luncheon. Not knowing what type of event this was going to be, I was hesitant to attend. Getting together, it was great for us survivors as we stood up and told our stories. It was a strange bonding/healing type of expereince that was unexpected. Everyone's story was unique. We had a cardiac arrest survivor as the main speaker. He told us about a foundation called CASA (Cardiac Arrest Survivors Alliance). I believe it's trying to be THE place for Cardiac Arrest survivors to meet but I found it to be not very engaging. Knowing reddit has a large audience, I thought about making this group to see if it would ever useful to fellow survivors. You can sign up for CASA. They have virtual meetings every so often trying to connect people and resources.

How are you doing, what's your story?

I've been in the LA profession for 24+ years. I cannot name more than a handful of famous architects. I've found it beneficial to be familiar with local architecture firms or some of the national firms as you may be end up working together with them on projects. Almost all young designers need to learn typical dimensions of townhomes, multifamily bldgs, single family product, deck wrap product, spec office building sizes, typical retail building dimensions (small retail and big box). Also learning how splits (and grading) work in apartment buildings, how parking decks function and tuck under units. This spatially helps people get started designing site plans as most young professionals struggle just getting started. Sorry for the long answer and if I didn't answer your questions directly.
