Question:

Should i be worried about sudden death? Please help!!?

i am a 15 year old boy and my cousin died in his sleep about 8 months ago. They did an autopsy and said it was sudden arrythmic death syndrome A.K.A. SADS. It is inheritable and i am afraid that i have the disorder. They checked his little siblings but they turned out fine. They also did an EKG on me about four months ago and said that i was fine as well. The problem is, i am having the sympthoms again and i'm afraid i can have a cardiac arrest at any minute. I asked my parents to take me to the doctor but they said that i'm just having panic attacks. DO you think that i have the same disorder that my cousin had, since it was genetic? Do you think that i need to get checked out again? Is the EKG reliable?


Answers:

If they did a gene check and you were cleared then that is not the problem.
Your parents are probably right and its a panic or anxiety attack.
The preoccupation is the problem, stop worrying about it and live life. None of us know when our time will come, but to live life and be happy is what is important- be the rock.
