I am 24, M if that's any help. I'm pretty sure at this age, heart attacks or cardiac arrest is extremely unlikely.
But I have been drinking an unhealthy amount of coffee followed by also an equally unhealthy amount of alcohol (but not enough to make me wasted, just drunk on low-mid level). I was also under a lot of stress from work, so that might also play a factor. The one thing I particularly forgot to do that night is drink water, as I usually stay hydrated (as alcohol and caffeine dehydrates your body), so not drinking water might have played a part.
Just last week before a work day, as I went to sleep, I woke up in the middle of the night with my heart beating abnormally fast and I feel chest pains while I was sweating (even though it's cold as I did not turn on my heater). I don't recall if I had any shortness of breath but it might have been as I was sort of panicking in some sort and sort of resisting death (?) if that's a thing.
I did a bit of research and it might be heart palpitations, however, NHS site notes to call 999 if there is chest pains, which there is.
Having had one of the worst sleeps in my life, I went to work absolutely wrecked which added a lot more stress to the day, I decided not to drink later that night as I should save my booze for ctb (if any) or have a good night alone.
I have heard of a case of a friend of a friend who had a cousin that died in her sleep from excessive stress from her school. But that's just hearsay, though not the least believe case of a young person dying in their sleep due to excess stress.
I plan on continuing this coffee + alcohol cycle in hopes of getting a cardiac arrest at some point, but can someone tell me what I just went through or did I miss a chance of passing away because of that death resistance?
