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!
Thank you for sharing that info.
Interesting. I was taking a ibuprofen for a few days to help a migraine (like your ID). I woke up one morning with no hearing in one year and I couldn’t walk. They still don’t know what killed my ear, but I still suspect the ibuprofen.
