What started my whole journey is the lose of my father at 55 today, May 7th. Most people are curious about that very sad day. This is my post from a few years ago. Also, at the end is a link to donate to SADS in his memory. Remember, when you donate to SADS, even through my fathers memorial, I don’t get a cent of it. It all goes to research to Sudden Arrhythmia Death Syndromes (SADS) http://wp.me/P3jgWx-1o

My niece Eliz died suddenly April 23, 2017 Her father died Suddenly at age 44 of sudden cardiac arrest in 1992 His father died suddenly at age 41 of cardiac arrest In 1967. His sister died at 41 of cardiac arrest and his other sister died at 54

Hi Teri! Has any Doctor mentioned Brugada Syndrome to you? There are a few other conditions that are more common that could cause cardiac arrest. Definitely get everyone to a cardiologist to see what is going on. Always better to be safe than sorry. Im so sorry for all the losses in your family and all that has been endured.
