When we look around us, we find out that there are so many things to appreciate. When we look at our bodies and everything is working perfectly, we can't help but be thankful.

There are people out there living with one condition or the other that limits them to certain things. We all know the heart is an important component of the body.

It is a muscle that circulates blood throughout your body. Your body gets the oxygen and nutrients it requires to function from the blood your heart pumps.

The OP in today's story is someone who has a heart condition and is advised not to take any stimulants like caffeine. The OP doesn't really like telling people about his "condition," but that caused a problem.

The OP told the gym friends that he was feeling slightly sick and that he would stay home and do a small workout there. But they showed up at his house, trying to encourage him to go to the gym with them.

One of them made a protein shake for everyone, but after the OP took it, his chest felt tight, and he had to get taken to the hospital. There they found out that this friend had added a pre-workout to the OP's protein shake, which made the OP angry. 

The Headline

One of the OP's friends said he would make them all some protein shakes

They asked the OP if he had taken any substances including caffeine

The OP's other friends continue to defend him saying he couldn't have known not to

Let's head into the comments and know what other Redditors have to say

You do not tamper with somebody else's food

Check out the OP's reply to this question

Who puts pre workout in a protein shake?

The OP doesn't really want to tell people about his heart condition

This is all because of the lack in communication

It's also reasonable for you to be upset after being surprised

Caffeine is a stimulant and many people need to avoid

You don't have to tell your friends about your condition

It is still a mood altering substance

You go to the gym regularly with your friends

What they should avoid so it doesn't happen again

They're not wrong about how it's not their fault

Bad communication

You never force people to eat things against their consent

Please share info about your condition with your friends

That could have gotten you killed here

This Redditor doesn't think this is on the OP's friends

For getting angry, you are the AH

You never, never dose someone with anything

Any illness that affects the cardiovascular system is referred to as "heart disease." Heart illness comes in a variety of forms, each of which has a unique impact on the heart and blood vessels. 

The OP didn't exactly mention the name of his condition, but Redditors declared him "not the AH" in this story. Drop your thoughts in the comments section below and share this post as well.
