Get Heart Attack by Surfing Net in the Midnight?
Filed in: Life Log — May 16th, 2007
My friend, Weilian, thought he had a heart attack. He had chest pain, his heart was pounding heavily, and breathing difficulty. Immediately, he went to the clinic to have a ECG test. The test result showed that his heart was fine but stressful.
Doctor was surprised when he told the doctor that he only sleeps 4 hours a day from 1:30am to 5:30am. My friend usually surfs net in the late night for several hours. Doctor advised him to sleep early, drink less coffee and tea.
My two cents
Glad that my friend is fine. His family has heart attack records, that’s why he has to take extra caution about it. Although I sleep late every day but I usually have 7 sleeping hours each day (wake up late). However, I am lacking of exercises.
Well, we do not wish to read any news like Ms. May Leong (Singapore) who dead after 8 hours on laptop(PDF file hosted by Sloppy Chic). Please take care.

I sometimes encounter that too. It is due to stress.
But chest pain can be signal to many things, and also check out GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease).
It is a problem where gastric acids move up to the chest, burning the inner skin. This is also stress related.

i have 4 hrs sleep too… after surfing! ayoh! heart attack alert!
i sleep at 2.00am and wakes up at 6.30am (ok that’s 4 /12 hrs), esp. after blogging. you’ll notice my blog post all were after 1.00am, many after 2.00am to. if following day is holiday, i will sleep at 3.00am (but i wake up 10.00am). i dunno but i seems to be alert surfing only after midnight.

May Leong died NOT because of surfing net in the midnight… she is overwork and too stressful , this is what she wrote in her blog :
“Had diarrhea last Thu, hurt my knee and was limping badly since last Sunday, had breathlessness since Wed & fainted after work on that day at my office lift lobby, knocked my head against the wall when I fainted, collapsed again last night at home. Now my chest feels really tight & breathing is really tough. Doc just said I’m really stressed out. sigh….. what should I do? Quit? or continue this ultra-super stressful job?”
So, for those who is working under the stressful job, please take this as the lesson, money can’t buy health.

SEO, what was her “ultra-super stressful job”? (too lazy to read)…

No it’s not “stress” or “working at midnight” which killed her. It’s prolonged immobilisation leading to blood clots.
