What will cause your death?

[ducpainter]

I've recently had cause to go to a hospital thinking I had a serious problem.

Luckily the problem I thought I had was not the case. I still feel like shit.

I have acid reflux/GERD. It's make the beast with two backsing killing me...seriously. I can't sleep, even with a wedge pillow, I can't eat without consequences.

I'm on a med protocol that isn't working. I called my PCP today, but they didn't get back to me. I will follow up with someone.

I never thought I'd die from heartburn...( more likely the consequences of heartburn like esophageal cancer) maybe crash and burn.

How will you die?

I’m guessing I’ll stop breathing.    Here’s a list of quizzes

I heard we all die of lack of oxygen to the brain. That's the universal reason, strictly speaking.

What's going to lead me there ... ?  Don't know yet.

I just did one of those tests.

I died in 2007.

I’ve always enjoyed good health. Never had any heart  burn or aches and pains etc but I  thought I was gonna die a couple times now. Once in a hotel room when I woke up and couldn’t breathe
It was sickening I was alone in a strange town.
I woke  up in a state of total panic went into the bathroom and splashed water on my face.
After that I just laid down to die😃
Seriously there was nothing I could do
After a few terrifying moments the air began flowing again and I went to sleep.

Sorry you’re going through this stuff

I wanna go out like one of my dogs did. Healthy, healthy, healthy. Dead.

I've enjoyed good health in my adult years. I'm no spring chicken...some of you kids would consider me old. I don't.

Most people guess I'm at least 10 years younger than I am.

I guess I'm just surprised that something as innocuous as heartburn/acid reflux can make the beast with two backs you up, and create a serious health issue...serious enough to lead to death.

I did one of the quiz's. Says I'll die in 2039.  My first thought was make the beast with two backs, another 20 years   

[Popeye the Sailor]

Given my family history, cancer.

So, slow and obscene.

 Hope you recover soon.

My wife has that as well ..along with her meds ( Pantoprazole ) she has Throat Dilation done every 2 years

And make sure you see a Gastro Enterologist

[Speeddog]

Bad habits or
Dangerous hobbies or
at the hands of an idiot

Possibly leaving the seat up one too many times

[Grampa]

I know I'll die if I ever make it to the end of Emerson Lake and Palmer's Fanfare For The Common Man before turning it off. I had a dream where I died the very second the song ends.

Sorry to hear Nate.  Listen to Ute.  Acid reflux can gradually kill you while damaging your esophagus and teeth as well as making your life generally miserable..

Anyway, to answer your question most likely pulmonary failure

[koko64]

Heart attack or pneumonia which aint too bad (bargain really)  if at the right time.

My life is going to be the death of me.

“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming “Wow! What a Ride!” HST.
