Can videogames trigger a heart attack? - eviltoast

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.

    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.
