I just read a story of a 22 year old American soccer player who basically just dropped dead of supposedly natural causes (It was at a bar, and he had been injured), so there are other possibilities in there, but I dont know.
I am good with facts..figures..numbers, whatever. I am 21 myself so it hits home. How often do things like this happen where a healthy younger person just drops like that? How high are the odds? I remember seeing a big push to get teens tested for things like cardiomyopathy because it caused issues like this, then I read that only 500 "teens" in the entire country had this happen to them all year. Well..theres probably 6,000-8,000 teens in my little county alone, much less several million across the country. After 3 echos, a ct scan, multiple ecg's you would think the odds are even less. I know it happens, but its like..how likely is it..It's probably the #1 anxiety cause for me.
