Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) vs Heart Attack
It is easy to feel overwhelmed with the amount of ‘medical language’ being used when discussing a Sudden
Cardiac
Arrest
(SCA). A sudden
cardiac
arrest
and a heart attack are both emergency situations - you need to dial 999 in UK or 911 in US immediately.

Runny nose - is it a side effect of meds?
Odd question but does anyone know if any of the standard meds prescribed after
cardiac
arrest
can give you a constantly runny nose? Am on ticagrelor, aspirin, atorvastatin, ramipril, ezetimibe, bisoprolol and Lansoprazole.

Sorry to be leaving.
I am sorry to be leaving but my husband had a
cardiac
arrest
on 6th July and died of a further
cardiac
arrest
on 8th July in ICU. Fortunately he was conscious and engaged to his last breath and it was painless. Ragged and sorrowful but I know he would be devastated if I did not get on with living.

I am taking a lot of medications after my
cardiac
arrest
. I do not feel well because of them. Is this normal?

Do you know the difference between a sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) and a heart attack?
Would you be able to tell the difference between a Sudden
Cardiac
Arrest
(SCA) and a Heart Attack? If so, would you know what to do? A sudden
cardiac
arrest
is often misunderstood to be the same as a heart attack.
They are not the same.
They are both an emergency situation.

The unanswered question...
Can I drive after a
cardiac
arrest
? Answers seem vague at best. Is there anything definitive for the long term?

cardiac arrest and hypoxic brain injury
Hello All, My mum (68) went into hospital for routine surgery and went into
cardiac
arrest
due to difficult intubation. Her heart stopped beating for 10 minutes. They started CPR (and bagged her) immediately and she had a weak pulse throughout but machine was registering no heart beat.

Footballer cardiac arrest
So today I see that Luton’s captain, Tom Lockyer, had a
cardiac
arrest
during a game, having previously had a collapse on the pitch caused by AF and having ‘an operation to fix the problem which shouldn’t happen again’.

Job interview help - hypoxic brain injury
Hi, I currently have a hypoxic brain injury as a result of a
cardiac
arrest
caused by massive internal bleeding due to a ruptured uterus when I was 19 weeks pregnant last year. The main effect of this is dysarthria, meaning my speech is effortful and unclear.

Getting back to work and life expectancy
I recently read that suffering an out of hospital
cardiac
arrest
could mean that my life expectancy is potentially reduced to having another 15 years ! I'm only 40!

So do people think his
cardiac
arrest
is something to do with AF? As someone who is currently in persistent AF this has now got me worried.
