Health & Medicine on Khan Academy: No organ quite symbolizes love like the heart. One reason may be that your heart helps you live, by moving ~5 liters (1.3 gallons) of blood through almost 100,000 kilometers (62,000 miles) of blood vessels every single minute! It has to do this all day, everyday, without ever taking a vacation! Now that is true love. Learn about how the heart works, how blood flows through the heart, where the blood goes after it leaves the heart, and what your heart is doing when it makes the sound “Lub Dub.”

I had Influenza A last year(Jan2017). High grade fever, cough, green phlegm, sore throat and all that nasty stuff; it was one of the worst! Today (Feb2018) I have Influenza B and I am heavily congested, random chills and low grade fever. Both times I was advised to stay home for 5 days!!

I have type A right now and feel miserable. I always have a habit of researching what I’m diagnosed with and learning as much about it as possible (Nerd Alert! I know.)
Good job. Easy to understand. Appreciate the effort
Now what if I'm throwing up and have diarrhea? I also have fatigue, body aches and slight chills but zero respritory symptoms

maybe consult a doctor, this doesn't sound like influenza or something like that to me. I'm pretty sure you already have as it's been 10 years since you wrote this comment.
Well done, but need more differentiation of type A to type B.
Fantastic video! It might just be the flu talking, but I watch you write all day😊
I was diagnosed with influenza B today. It is a lot worse than A.
Hello Khanacademy, first of all, your videos are awesome, beyond any word can describe. I am preparing for Canadian board exams and they are helping me a lot to understand the concept. My only concern is the references. What are the references to these videos? Are they per Canadian medicine guidelines as well? Thank you!
My son and I have type A and it’s terrible. So tired, so much neck pain, and feeling disoriented non stop. The antivirals seem to help.
It won't be a winter epidemic. Since you are expecting the elevation, it would just be an endemic. I think.
Finally a smart flu video thanks man

I have type a..... This is the second time I've had it in my life... Had it the same time last year....first time headache . vomiting.stomach issue and body ache . Now in just stuffy
Very informative video, thanks! I don't know if anyone can relate but in my case it started with runny nose, then it continued up with sore throat. Then it felt like it slowly went down windpipe and stopped right in the middle of my throat. That was the time when I felt this annoying tickly feeling in there which made me dry cough from time to time. Then it went down to my upper chest and made me cough afterwards which was accompanied with chest pain and burning sensations afterwards. No fever/chills/overall weakness whatsoever but at first I thought I had pheumonia and I was really scared cause I never really experienced anything like this before. We called a doctor. after cheking my throat/lungs she told me I had type C seasonal virus and it shall go away it by itself in a few days. She suggested me tons of fluids as well as inhalation 3 times a day. Well thankfully my cough has almost dissapeared and I don't have any sore throat/pain either but that burning sensation in my chest is still there and it's freaking me out lol 😆 also, I can breathe freely and I have no fever whatsoever. But I'm still cautious. Don't take this viruses lightly guys😀 if you're in doubt see your doctor right away ^_^
Excellent video. Thank you for posting this.

For those who are experiencing flu. Let it be. If you are getting sick, that's good. It means your immune system is fighting the virus. You'll get well soon.
