I just got word the medical examiner did his autopsy and he didn't have a heart attack but rather a seizure after having the flu....is this common? If so o my god, is it a flu nobody took care of? Is it a bad strain? Does this happen often?

That's tough. Sorry man. I knew a few guys in high school that died like that- one to cancer, one to a car accident.
Not the same.

People die of the flu. Not unheard of, but rare. Usually in the elderly. Usually combined with a weakened/weakening immune system fwiw.
In terms of the op: diagnostic equipment has come a long way in the last decade. Will continue to improve I think. The issue is GE medical and Philips medical control the market. Philips allura xpera (I think that is how it is spelled) is the standard in heart evaluation. Not much competition in terms of the high dollar machines ct/MRI. A sellers market for now
ETA: sorry about your buddy. You have always been genuine to me. Hope his family is ok

I had a co-worker who was feeling fatigued...not overly so, but mentioned it to his doctor at his annual checkup. They did a stress test and an EKG and everything turned out normal. They also decided to run a genetic marker test on him, which came back positive for a gene/marker that is pervasive in heart attack victims (I think he had to pay $100 out of pocket).
They wound up doing more extensive testing and found significant blockage. The Cardiologist told him that he needed surgery and shouldn't wait. He had open heart surgery (quadruple bypass). After surgery, the Dr said that it wasn't if, but when the "widow maker" would have hit him. That was 3 years ago...and I eat lunch with him every day. He is in great health.
The one thing that struck me was when he was preparing for his surgery he said, "my heart has been beating every moment of my life...and they are going to stop it for however long it takes to do the surgery...that kinda freaks me out".

The FDA has thousands of approved food additives. cook most meals at home with food with these absent if possible. Also, try to avoid foods that have been raised with roundup or glyphosate. avoid gmo foods if possible. Don't believe that stuff on fat unless its trans fats or cheap vegetable oils, healthy fats are not only good for you but required. cut sugar from the American average of 150lbs/year to much less.

Can you give a detailed explanation as to why you would say this?

they have been genetically manipulated to handle roundup which contains glyphosate which gets in the food and cannot be washed off. Google glyphosate and see if you want to be the guinea pig.

I just got a phone call that a good friend of mine passed away last night at 33. He wasn't a drug user and he wasn't overweight and had no medical issues. They dont suspect suicide or anything. I guess we will know after the autopsy what caused it but what can a person do other than get their physical annually to attempt to prevent such things? Is it more we need EKG's, ultrasounds, and stress tests at a cardiologist or is it just something that isn't preventable?
That sucks, but I don't know if there is anything that can be done especially if it was caused by something that happened all of a sudden (something that can't be seen ahead of time). The thing about life is that you never really know what will happen or when it will happen.
