Newton teen still fighting for his life after he collapses during basketball game

Preston Settles turned to a Brooks School teammate during a basketball game last Saturday with an unusual complaint, especially for a 15-year-old boy whose athletic résumé contains entries for hockey, football, soccer, and lacrosse.

“My heart feels like it’s spasming,” Settles told his friend.

Moments later, the Newton teenager collapsed on the gymnasium floor as his parents rushed to his side, wondering if their son had fainted or was having some sort of seizure.

“After a period of time lapsed, it was clear that neither one of those were the case,” said the boy’s mother, Lisa M. Owens, who is a doctor. “He stopped breathing.”

I found no news he’d been vaxxed recently

They most likely would avoid reporting it unless the editor has a Free Republic screen name!

Kids do have congenital heart disease that manifests under stress like sports ... Every kid with heart abnormalities and crisis consequence is vax related

I find these statement to be contradictory and I don't believe the 2nd one.

Nice post otherwise. I hope the kid recovers.

When I played sports in high school, we always had to have a physical exam at the start of the year. My blood pressure was always normal, but in the high-normal range. I had a heart attack at age 39. I don't smoke; I don't drink; and I don't take street drugs. They didn't believe me in the emergency room until the blood tests came back. I now have the Mercedes-Benz of pacemakers but I'm almost 72.

If we accept the premise that high school athletes with unknown heart issues who die on the court is rare, then we have to ask a few questions:

A life time of heart issues

I saw a Doctor earlier saying that cases of myocarditis would be expected to have a five year survival...

ALL of the vaxxxxxxed probably have heart damage, it's just that some will die sooner than others.

There was a death of a top athlete my sophomore year in 1967, a kid who was slated to be the next season’s starting quarterback on a football powerhouse. His aorta ruptured in his sleep, a congenital defect. I’d moved to SoCal that year and didn’t know him but a lot of the class had gone to school together since first grade and it came as a real shock to them.

We had several more deaths over the next two years but those were easier to explain, the drug culture had arrived.
