How do people in their 20's get heart attacks and kidney failure?!
Question: A close friend of ours had a heart attack yesterday at the age of 27. He had no health problems, wasn't on drugs, ate healthy and exercised everyday. He has no family history of any heart disease. He was happy and everything. I just don't understand how someone so healthy and so young can have a heart attack and kidney failure.
Does anyone know what it could be? The doctors don't know.
Thanks!

When people in their young age die from heart attacks or kidney failure, it's most likely due to stress and strong familial or genetic predisposition that he/she wasn't aware of. Diseases can become very treacherous. Sometimes, they can skip one generation and the next one get them all. You can fight or prevent any diseases caused by environmental factors. But when it comes to genetics, you are powerless; as we don't get to choose our parents. It's the luck of the draw.
Other possible causes of heart diseases and eventual kidney failure might be infections and prescribed or OTC drug reactions. High blood pressure is another cause . High blood pressure can become a silent killer. It can lead to an enlarged heart which evantually cause the heart attack. Other causes might be soda drinks with their aspartame content and foods with highm fructose corn syrup. Or the heart attack followed by kidney failure might be a sequellae to some other illness. such as viral meningitis.
I had one patient complained to me why he has diabetes. He's an engineer. His skin is full of rashes and he's blind because of the diabetes. He was very angry; crying and was mean and was constantly screaming at his wife. "Why?" he said. His father is a philanderer, smokes; gambles and drinks and doesn't have it. Whereas he; , he's a good family man. and now his dignity is taken away from him. Life doesn't seem fair,eh?
However, you can certainly avoid any weak link by cross -breeding or marrying somebody of a different race. Hybrids or "mestizos" have a tendency to have stronger genes than gene- pooling. ;i.e. marrying within the same race.
Someone poisoned him? How would we know, if the doctors don't know?
Sadly these things can just happen unexpetedly. Several years ago while doing my clinical hours in an ER for my EMT license a middle 30s man came in having his third heart attack. He was sent to another hospital for better treatment and before he reached it he had a fourth heart attack. Many times a seemingly healthy young person has the unexpected happen.
mostly genetic predesposition. you can have a heart attack & kidney failure from malnutrition, if you dont have the right chemicals (from nutrition{i.e.vitamins, food}), not drinking enough water can cause kidney problems, not getting exersice can cause these problems to.-blurey
