Thanks for the info Pat, I'm almost 30 so I need to start learning to warning signs. You have potentially saved me life.

people think if you are young you are immune to a heart attack however if you have ever used cocaine you may have already had one without even realizing it even if you are a teenager or in your 20s.

In that case, you should worry about it to speed it's progress. Being happy about it is only pushing it back.

It's funny because the past month or two where I have been worried about heart failure have been some of the best of my life. My dreams are awful but while I am awake I can't stop laughing.

either tennis elbow or golfers elbow. Depends on how gay a sportsman you are, but most assuredly a tendon issue.
Stop stressing it. If it is work related stress see a doctor.

They can happen as young as 30
they can happen as young as 18 even with healthy people

A kid in my class died of one the summer after freshman year of high school (so 15-16) at basketball practics. The amount of people around him and close proximity to the hospital means he should have had nearly as high chance of survival as possible. Unfortunately, it was a serious one (not all heart attacks are equal); They can happen at any age, without any perceivable warning or unusual signs.

Yeah, I had a good friend get a heart attack while tripping on shrooms at a Shpongle DJ set with me. He survived though. He was 20 or 21 at the time.

Hidden heart risk for cocaine addicts even if they feel perfectly healthy
"Cocaine causes such extensive damage to users’ hearts that it could trigger sudden death even when they feel perfectly healthy, experts warn.
They said that because of the hidden damage inflicted by the drug, many addicts may have already suffered a heart attack without realising it.
Researchers have found that 83 per cent of people using cocaine over long periods have suffered major structural damage to their hearts.
Although this does not cause any immediate symptoms, they are at high risk of heart attacks, strokes and death.
Their study, published in the journal Heart, found that the vast majority had sustained damage to their heart.
Nearly three-quarters of them – 73 per cent – had signs of tissue scarring, and the researchers suggested that in some cases this may have been caused by a heart attack.
Almost half – 47 per cent – had signs of swelling in the left ventricle, one of the two key areas of the heart responsible for pumping blood round the body.
This study shows that cocaine can “silently” cause irreversible heart-muscle damage, which may take some time to become apparent. This damage can destroy your quality of life and even cause premature death."

I just didn't want to believe it lol
I don't buy the irreversible part though. The body can heal.

I think its a case where most but not all the damage will heal with abstinence and healthy living. That has certainly been my percieved experience- when I was using coke I could FEEL that I was on the verge of heart attack. I couldnt run or work out without feeling like I was going to keel over. My heart would hurt and palpitate noticeably. I would feel like I was on deaths door for a week or more after using.
Now that I am years into not using, I feel healthy as a horse. I train martial arts hours a day and have excellent stamina and fitness. I train hard and long and am in peak condition. My heart feels great.
But I suspect if you were to cut out my heart and look at it under a microscope a trained eye could still see some damage and that will probably always be the case.

Yeah I think once you get to a certain age, maybe 20 or so, seriously damaged tissues never fully recover. I have old tendon and joint issues that have improved over 10 years time, but I still have to be careful not to aggravate it.
