Today, I had a heart attack. At the hospital, the doctor compared my heart to a stressed out 60 year-old's heart. I'm 17 and I don't even have a job yet. FML

Today, I was just released from hospital after a heart attack. As a 37 year-old woman with healthy habits and no family history of heart issues, the doctors have no idea why it happened. So instead of telling me how to change my lifestyle, they told me to proceed as usual, and hope that it doesn't happen again. FML
Today, I went to hospital with chest pain and they discovered I need a triple bypass for three arteries clogged with fat. The doctor assumed from my scans that I must be middle aged or older because he’d never seen three arteries clogged so badly on someone under 50. I’m 27 FML
Today, I was told by a doctor that I have a fatal disease, and that I should start making preparations for when I pass away. Then, another doctor showed up, panicking, and said that was meant for someone else with the same first name as me. The mini-heart attack I had at that moment almost killed me anyway. FML
Today, after months of my doctor telling me that my heart palpitations are simply due to anxiety, and that I'm perfectly healthy, I decided to weight train to face my fears. Two hours later, I was in the emergency room. FML
Today, I had somewhat of a nervous breakdown, and poured my heart out to a doctor, who seemed to be well over 60. She looked at me, flabbergasted and said, "I never met anyone with that many problems!" Gee, thanks. FML
Today, I went to see a doctor because I have been feeling of pressure in my chest. After running numerous tests, I was told I was perfectly healthy and had nothing to worry about. I made it as far as the front door before I collapsed and had to be rushed to the hospital. FML
Today, I went to see a doctor due to some gastric distress I have. I came out with directions to buy a blood pressure monitor, I'm prohibited from doing sports, and have a possible diagnosis of arterial hypertension which I am way too young to have. FML
Today, my therapist died from a heart attack, all while telling me not to stress over anything. FML
Today, I sat in my doctor's office and broke down, crying and shaking, with a blood pressure of 190, getting off my chest everything that has gone wrong in my life lately. To which the doctor, well into her sixties, replied, "My goodness, I've never met anyone with so many problems!" FML
Today, I came home from the hospital diagnosed with high blood pressure. It's caused by stress. My wife had a very long talk with my son about it. All the kid has been doing for the past 2 hours is scream at his Playstation. I'd rather be at the hospital. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Time for a lifestyle change?

Hope you're feeling better - stress can come from many different things, doesn't have to be financially related. Could be an over worked body

Holy shit, that's a serious bummer (and not to mention scary as hell). I was recently admitted into a hospital because doctors found a ton of fluid around my heart, which my heart produced due to the cancer I have irritating it (Hodgkin's Lymphoma, it's an otherwise non-serious cancer). I luckily got it drained before anymore damage was done, but I was told that I would've had a heart attack within the week had they not done a routine ultrasound on my heart. I can't even imagine actually having one, it scares me just thinking about it. TL;DR: FYL dude. For real.

Op, when I was 17 i almost died, and I was diagnosed with heart failure. I was prescribed a heart infusion medicine that I was taking 24/7 through an iv that was fed by a pump I wore on my waist. All throughout my senior year of high school, my heart health was closely monitored, and my doctors and I had finally come to the conclusion that two months after I graduate, I would undergo a surgery more complicated than a heart transplant, to last me until a suitable organ was found, for a heart transplant. Well, once again luck was only on my side enough, to prevent me from dying. The night before my graduation, I was shocked 6 times through a pacemaker/defibrillator that was implanted in my chest, and the next day hours before my graduation, I was flown two states over, to prep for my surgery, which was jump started for later that week. Almost two years after having a pump implanted by my heart to help me live, I'm working full time, and still waiting for my heart transplant. The only way that it could've been worse, is if I died. I'm your, "it could have been worse". The key now, is to have the most positive attitude that you can, and only strive to make your life better. If you do any drugs, quit while you're ahead. Good luck, I hope you get better.

the things that come to mind are a naturally weak heart and/or extremely low stress tolerance. I actually lost a classmate to this in the 4th grade of all things. it really bothers me how fragile the body can be when 10 year olds and 17 year olds can have heart attacks.
