Heart failure, heart attack, coronary artery disease, stroke, diastolic failure, right side failure, sleep apnea, A-fib. Hypertension, hypotension. PTSD, COPD, not to negate TSA, FDA and FBI? The Medical/Industrial Complex has a cookie cutter remedy for everything? My opinion? TMI, information overload, I wonder why we are stressed?

1st off 89% of people in the US eat Garbage fast food and "PreBuilt Trash with approved additives in them as opposed to food grown within 10 miles of your residence... many younger folks have also have played around with any number of Drugs that are available today I dont necessarily mean cannabis rather some Man made Garbage formulated from cleaning supplies and other things that are just nasty and which effect you general function day to day stresses in the world can certainly be part of the problem as well your grandparents worked longer and harder then we do today Physically farmers today dont do the same types of Labor and 2 generations before and often 2 generations ago of grandpa had a heart attack or Asthma the treatments were much more limited then today. MY mom's father was tieing his shoe after a stay in the hospital for a severe asthma attack and he keeled over dead.... that was 1949 not 1802.... SO many variables My afib came on secondary to other issues I have I've been cardioverted into sinus rythem as well as had 2 ablations and the 1st time lasted over 2 years anxiety and hassles I was told can cause afib to rear its ugly head for my 2nd ablation 6 months ago, MY ep Said about 96% or the work he did The first time actually reestablished itself in 2 years and a months time ....

I think because of unknown family history and due to their carefree life style just hard to pin point ,I just wish they would take their health more serious as some of us should have.
