100. I'm a big fan of eminem, Great lyrics and in his own field he is a mastermind. Well I am a doctor here in southern california, and this is my take. He must have caught a flu that turned into pneumonia, heart problems can go along with flu/pneumonia, maybe he was in A-FIB or his BP was high.Number 1, What type of heart condition does he have?, What type of testing went on at the hospital?, Is there any recent pics of him at 212lbs?, I beileve he was anywhere from 148lbs to 160lbs, so thats a 42 to 55 pound weight gain. I dont believe this is due to steroids, since he was only in the hospital very recently, now if they did issue steroids to him, then look for him to gain anywhere from 20-30 additional pounds, depending on the dose, that would bring him to 250lbs, watch outt.......update this with pics and medical facts. - Mr. Tenorio
