My husband had been having a pain in the left side of his stomach just about the last rib area,diverticulitis was diagnosed, given cipro for antibiotic, died in his sleep a week later, autopsy saying b75% blocked arteies in 3 of them, no chest pain, no shortage of breath, sounds funny to me, what could have caused his death?
Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. I am sorry about your husband. If you mean coronary arteries' blockage then I don't know what is so mysterious to you. It seems like he had a fatal heart attack. You cant know did he have pain before death occurred, it can last for 1-2 minutes. It is not uncommon that people don't have angina sectors or any other chest pain before heart attack. It depends on from man to man. Wish you good health.
