Poll of the Day > Heart Attack, Stroke or Brain Aneurysm...

(+) Yeah! (+)

Which one would you like to Die from?

Hear Attack, I can't imagine that hurting.

If death is guaranteed in all situations then hit me with the aneurysm.

Heart Attack. It's taking so long.

You guys are making terrible decisions.

Heart attacks can last a lot longer than people realize. They also don't actually always hurt, Hell you can have one without even knowing, but those ones very rarely kill. Tons of people actually confuse a heart attack with cardiac arrest but they're different. Although a heart attack can lead to cardiac arrest, this mostly does not happen. Dying form a heart attack alone can take 4 months of organ failure to kill you, sometimes a year.

A ruptured brain aneurysm is accompanied by the most agonizing acute migraine one can imagine. It is by no means a quick loss of consciousness and death unless the aneurysm is significantly large, in which case, it will most likely cause pain and distressing symptoms well before it ruptures. It can take 24 hours followed by vasospasm to kill you, but in other cases can take up to half a year for the complications to finally take your life.

Meanwhile, strokes happen suddenly but have a couple symptoms to go with them -- the one most commonly known is weakness on one side of the body, but aside from that, it does not actually really hurt. After the first minute of a stroke tens of thousands of braincells can die. It is capable of killing you swiftly without medical intervention, and even then a good number of people die within a month. It can take a year, but 1 in 8 are dead within 30 days.

To me, the choice seems obvious. Having a stroke is the least painful and it has the highest deaths in a year count (in the US). Ruptured aneurysms kill nearly 500,000 people a year, heart attacks 659,000 -- and strokes a whopping 140,000 people a year.
Dying is rarely quick and painless, but out of these options, I'd say the aneurysm is the most painful immediately, the heart attack causes the most prolonged suffering, and the stroke, while by no means pleasant, is far from being as agonizing as these other options.

I'd very much prefer Death by Endless Orgasms.

My daughter had a brain AVM rupture and she hurt something awful.

Heart attack seems the better option.

Nothing like acute chest pain before heart failure slowly sets in and eventually meeting an inevitable demise after months of having fluid drained from your lungs and body because of how slow it takes a heart attack to kill you in the absence of cardiac arrest.

Actually, you know what, ey TC @pionear -- when you say heart attack, are you thinking of an actual heart attack only, or a heart attack followed by cardiac arrest, where you immediately lose consciousness and function, which is what will actually kill you quickly, and what people confuse heart attack with.

Gettin the bottom of this...
Because if what you actually meant was cardiac arrest then fuck I'm with that option all the way. Happens fast. Otherwise I'm opting for stroke.

I'll never die.

Aneurysm will at least be fairly quick unlike the other two.

Well whatever the case, just make sure to stay healthy and keep your Blood Pressure and Stress Levels in check, esp after 40...

Hearing starts in your ears, sir.

My spouse suffered a thrombosis of the left anterior descending coronary artery, commonly known as a "widow-maker". If this artery becomes blocked, the blood supply to about half of the heart is disrupted. Depending on how bad the occlusion is, death can occur within as little as 10 minutes up to several hours and the prognosis is often very poor without immediate medical attention.

I found his body on the floor next to his chair.

But boy will it be painful.

Sword strike, after which lightning pours from by my body into my killer's body and he absorbs my power.

If I'm dead as a result anyway I don't think it matters.
Now which I'd least want to survive is a different matter.

You will die from an aneurysm straining on the toilet.

Maybe die from an aneurysm, stroke, and heart attack straining on the toilet like a king.

Aneurysm for how quick it will be.

Fatal stroke since it seems like it'd have the least physical pain.

Same. You'd probably feel really weird and spaced out, but it wouldn't really hurt. I mean, it wouldn't feel comfortable, but it's no where near the level of pain you get from a migraine and it doesn't take as long to kill you as a heart attack.
