I honestly don't think we'd last long without the machine. I mean I'm not saying we'd drop dead anytime *real* soon, but the health issues that result is some seriously bad shit. High bp, high heart rate, high cortisol - and all compounded together which would cause a buuunch of shit to go wrong. The most obvious being in regards to heart failure.
120 times in a hour is truly mind boggling, and I thought my 77 was next level. What did you feel like prior to finding out? I literally couldn't function. I was getting to the point where I was scared to drive because I was so exhausted all the time and falling asleep randomly. It was fucking crazy and looking back at it I can't believe I went as long as I did without getting it checked out.
It's such a serious issue to ignore but so many guys do. You forget what normal feels like and become accustomed to feeling like dogshit all the time without even recognizing how bad it truly is.
