    I'm 70, I was diagnosed with CHF 3 years ago. I'm still working 40hrs/wk as a 50-year veteran auto mechanic. My twin brother was also diagnosed with CHF & COPD 5 years ago as he has smoked for 50+ years suddenly (To me) died 2 months ago. We're going to bury him in 3 weeks. Ya just don't know what life is going to dish out. I take comfort in knowing that my brother knew He was loved, as I told him and showed him over and over. I will miss him to my last breath. I don't want to die just yet, don't think I will but I know I'll see him on the other side when it's my turn and that gives me comfort. Keep your loved ones close!

    Thank you for all you do! I was given 2 15 mg |sample doses" a few days ago just to see if any reaction. I really did not notice anything. My question is, are there other options that serve the same basic purpose? Like a codeine of some sort? I have severe pain in my next for years and have taken 8 tramadol a day for the last 4 years, to be honest, I think my body has gotten use to them, thus why not replace with a type of codine, for pain and breathing?

    I am 40 years old. Was diagnosed last year with chronic and congestive heart failure, dyspnea, cardiomyopathy, tachycardia, chronic bronchitis/cough. I’m always tired and very aches when I wake up especially. I also can’t work out like I used to without getting very nauseous and most of the time I throw up if I even try to go on a VERY short jog… so I have gained at least 30lbs since. I have frequent urination and also, I didn’t hear this in here, but…. my FEET HURT… the bottom of them, mainly when I first wake up and step on the ground to just go to the bathroom. I sleep sooo so much. It’s so miserable. Anyone have any helpful or just plain HONEST information, advice or opinion on if this all still applies to ME????? Considering I am only 40 years old and no other comorbid disease? Thank you and all my love and best wishes to everyone out there suffering with this silent killer as well 🙏❤️🤦🏻‍♀️😪

    Thanks for explaining this, I wish hospice nurses would have explained this when my dad was ready to die, we knew it was going to happen but we blamed the nurse for drugging him into unconscious prior and then he woke up, asked for a huge breakfast, wanted the hockey game on the TV, did a crossword puzzle, scratch lottery tickets he loved and was a little annoyed he couldn't walk (his legs were at this point showing the signs of death, lots of motteling the nurse called itl) within 12 hours of being back to the father I knew he was very agitated, regressed to sleepy, incoherent and in-between sleep asking for help to die, very emotional for all, he had in his will and my husband as power of attorney to have a drug induced coma. That death rally really made us question everything, we thought he was maybe not getting better but ...if the nurse at hospice explained this we would not have waited another day to grant his wish, after 2 counseling sessions one with a pastor he was put in a coma and passed away 2 days later

    Can I just point something out? This is a very delicate topic, you might be very knowledgeable however the super smiley face on the thumbnail when the subject of this video is not so happy it’s quite distasteful and offensive. Also the way you say to stick around to the end of the video when you’ll reveal how long the survival time frame will be, again it’s so in bad taste. Like low level influencers when they tease you about something important at the end of video just to get more views. Honestly it’s putting me off of this channel entirely. How can you not understand these things? And I’m sure that if you’re a doctor or professional then you’re not so desperate for money to have to earn more from CZcams. The smile on the thumbnail….

    That was brilliant! I had the same heart attack that killed my dad in his sleep when he was only 45 years old. It happens to me when I was 36 years old. Luckily I came back and was resuscitated. They could not save my father he died in my mother's arms. I was out for 7 minutes as my organs began to fail I came back to life and continue to rock and roll. It has been 22 years now I'm still living independent and I got to say keep your faith in god, keep your humor in life, always promise yourself a little bit of progress a day, and look at it like you're on vacation for the rest of your life and you have no choice but to slow down! I also recommend rescuing cute puppies or two kittens or a puppy and a kitten!

    @200_IM, Omg the first comment on here just made me feel sooo soo soo flipping much better, ugh omg thank you!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤ I took my Mom into hospital 4th of July evening due to massive pain in her lower right abdomen, it was cancer in her intestines. They did surgery 2 days ago and had heart issues the night after...didn't think anything about it like it was serious really cus she's had heart populations before. Fib thing. We've known about that. She's still in hospital to wait till test results get back to know if they got all the cancer...I just hung up the phone from her call to explain Drs just told her she has heart failure and I immediately of course sobbed crying for a minute but then i started doing my research, I'm nurodivegent,lol so researching things are kinda my thing. And I always feel there's a way to overcome anything, our bodys are absolutely amazing and it wants to heal itself. I know this. But yeah, my Dad had heart failure too, he had lots of other issues too tho and he did end up dying about 10 yrs ago like 5 years after he had been diagnosed with heart failure. I thought my Mom was doomed, a lot of these symptoms she's had. She coughs nonstop and sleeps all the time never has energy. And she pees all the time like gets up 12 times at night to pee. This sucks so bad, she's only 75, and I'm the only kid of hers who can be here with her. With my 9yr old son. I wish so bad I understood this better though. But dear God your comment seriously h made my tears stop finally and feel hopeful.

    It is narrated in authentic traditions that when an unbelieving person is about to leave the world and move towards the hereafter, black-faced angels come to him from the sky with coarse cloth and sit down as far as his eyes can see. This is followed by the arrival of the angel of death who sits down at the end of the person and says: ‘O wicked soul! Come towards the displeasure and anger of your Lord’. Having heard this proclamation of the Angel of Death, the soul of the unbeliever begins to run and take refuge in different parts of his body. But the Angel pulls it out in a rough and harsh manner, and wraps it in the coarse cloth which is filthy and gives of the stench as the dead and rotten bodies on the earth. When the angels ascend to various levels in the sky (while carrying the soul), groups of angels at different levels ask, ‘Who is this wicked soul?’ The reply is given, ‘This is so and so, the son of so and so’. The doors of heaven remain closed for him as Allah says, ‘The doors of heaven would not be opened for them, nor will they enter paradise until a camel passes through the eye of a needle.’ (Quran 7: 40).

Next morning I’m there for care to allow mum to get shopping done. His breathing was shallow. That night 8pm he passed with every one around him .he waited until we left the room
