Sorry to hear about your loss.

A medical answer to your question should require some testing.

I don’t think its the flu... It must be something more than that, time to see if the doctor who checked him out took any blood sample. I believe it is more than a flu.

I am so sorry. What a shock it must be to all of you who love him.

I want you to research something. There is a very rare drug intolerance for Ibuprofen (Advil) that can develop suddenly or over time. I experienced this and it nearly killed me.

It is called aphylaxis. If your body starts rejecting Ibuprofen (for example), and you keep taking it as though nothing is wrong, it can kill you by shutting down your lungs and heart.

What makes me suspicious are these facts: 1) it was sudden and unexpected; 2) the breathing was already unusually laborious; and 3) the flu often has aches that send people running for the Advil.

Please check into this. Many doctors don’t even know about it. My intolerance for Ibuprofen didn’t set in until I had used it for 17 years!

I’m so sorry for your loss. It does happen and sometimes much slower. I contracted the flu approximately 10 years ago. My immune system began attacking my lungs. After several diagnoses of pheumonia over just a couple of months, they accidentally caught a glimpse of the bottom of my lungs in a CTscan while testing for something else. They were all scarred up. Thank God for steroids, that is what is keeping me alive today. BTW, I’m only 48 now.

Sounds like the flu turned into bronchitis then pneumonia. Did the hospital give him a prescription for antibiotics?

Very sorry for your loss.
Clearly if he could not walk 20 feet something was going on, but it could be a number of possibilities.

It is not easy to lose a friend, especially a brother. May God comfort you in knowing his soul is in good care. As we grow we lose the most precious to our creator.

I am sorry for your loss.

People do die of the flu in this day and age more often then you think. If you are having trouble breathing you should see your doctor and don't leave until you have a solution to your problem.
