Heart Attack Snorkeling
Hello my name is Dave.
Background: my brother is a 55 yr old grossly obese male 5'8" & 290lbs.
In May of 2016 he suffered a major cardiac event. He flat lined 3 times and was shocked 10-15 times in a 55 minute period. He suffered a stroke during this event also. Since that event he has been regularly going to cardiac rehab but not seeing a cardiologist. I myself feel the rehab has had little to no effect.
Question: he wants to go snorkeling in Key West this Spring with my 2 older brothers.
