All of the symptoms described-aside from physical scarring-is very much in line with water boarding as that NK guard mentioned was standard practice. Repeated water boarding causes immense stress on the cardiovascular system, weaking it. It will eventually lead to cardiac events that would not be detectable after time passes without a full autopsy, which they didn’t do. Similar to a human jumping into freezing cold water, your body will just not be able to synchronize breathing and pumping blood properly under this kind of stress. You don’t get used to it.
Repeated over time, this synchronization will eventually be so out of whack, your heart will be damaged, and you’ll have a heart attack or throw a clot. Many whistleblowers talked about this during the last Iraq war. We don’t even know how many people died in Guantanamo because of this exact thing.
Actually not a spoiler on both counts. I suggest you check the video.

I mean, if someone never heard of this affair, those are main spoilers.
I’m sure you do bro.
