      Oh man, really? Then what killed my mom?

      Also, go get your heart checked out, bud.

        Maybe he is not from the US, like me. Outside the US people don’t immediately think of opioids when someone says painkiller. They are not prescribed nearly as much. Maybe not at all where I am from.

        What a stupid response. I don’t know your mom. How long did your mom abuse painkillers? What are the dosages and frequencies she took them at? Did she ever get clean and if so how long had she been abusing them and how long had she been clean? Was she a polysubstance abuser? Did your mom have any cardiac conditions of note? Did she take any medications? Familial history? You see what im getting at with how dumb your response was? I did get my heart checked out and I got my heart rate up to 138 and ran 15 minutes longer than I needed to and the cardiologist/lipidologist told me in his career of over 40 years I’m only the second time he’s ever seen someone’s heart not skip a single beat. I could still go the way of Matthew Perry/your mom. You never know. Pain killer abuse varies a fuck ton. So many other things come into play when we’re talking heart attacks.
