I am not saying that he has had a heart attack. I am just saying that a real heart attack can exhibit flu like symptoms.

There has been numerous people that had flu like symptoms that turned out to be a heart attack. They ignored it or the ER doc did, which unfortunately resulted in the death of the patient.

Okay, okay. You win. The man is on his deathbed. Heavens to Mergatroid.

I am going to bed now and I'll be sure to say a quick little prayer for Rudy's quick recovery.

You people sure make things tough for a curmudgeon.

I agree with you 100%!

Long story short, my father was in a hotel room by himself when he phoned and told me he wasn’t feeling well. He said he was feeling nauseated, achey, and hot. He took some Comtrex thinking he was “coming down with something.” Hours later I called to check on him; said he’d just gotten out of the shower because he was sweating so much. It wasn’t until he’d mentioned that his pain was mostly in his shoulder - thought he’d pulled something lifting heavy boxes the night before- that I wondered if he could possibly be having a heart attack.

Within minutes, I called the front desk and explained that if the hotel didn’t go into room such and such, drag my father out and into a hotel van, and take him to the emergency room, that they might be pulling out a dead body very soon.

Scans showed that my father lost 2/3 of his heart function because so much time had passed since his heart attack began.

I’m just saying.
