Suddenly. Inexplicably.

This happens. Usually in younger women…but some men.

It can happen in the heart, in the kidney, or in the brain. They don’t know why. But the inner lining of the artery peels apart and the pressure of the blood will force the lining down to block the artery.

When it happens in the big arteries, the dissection just keeps going and the whole thing just gets clogged—like someone stuffing a sock in there.

It’s not clots. It has nothing to do with clots.

This is what killed John Ritter. Don’t know that there’s any way to see it coming, although maybe someone more knowledgeable can comment.

I wonder if she’d SCUBA dived while in the DR…

I had a spontaneous left carotid artery dissection in 2004. It was most likely the result of a strange virus I had 2 weeks earlier which weakened the arterial wall. I had also spent some time painting the walls in my office with my neck hyperextended the week prior. My only symptom was unrelenting pulsatile tinnitus for a week before my diagnosis. I was in Barrow Neurological Institute for 1 night where I had more tests done, but then I was sent home on Plavix for 6 months. I never got the impression I was close to dying from the dissection.

I read recently that chiropractic manipulation of the neck, gone wrong, can cause such arterial dissection.

“But autopsy results now reveal that the mother of two died from a carotid artery dissection in her neck”

Have they determined who dissected her artery?

It’s flat out astonishing how easy it is to die at any moment.

I tripped and fell against a dog enclosure. Thought nothing of it. An hour later began having lower abdominal pain like something hit my nuts. Minutes later that pain became more intense than I could bear and realized something wasn’t right. Went to the emergency room nearly out of my mind in pain. Couldn’t finish the paperwork and began throwing up in their waste can. Don’t remember much after that as I passed out.

Turned out that simple tumble, perforated my left kidney. I was bleeding out internally. I was in the ICU for a week.

I’m so thankful six years thence, I’m able to post this.

A friend’s dad died watching TV in his recliner when his aorta ripped.
