Cardiac arrest
had a
cardiac
arrest
on Christmas eve. I was resuscitated for over 2 hours. I was in hospital for 7 weeks and returned home in February. I am reaching out for anyone who has had something similar. I am struggling to walk without aid and feel off balance.

Life after brain injury
In March 24 he suffered an anoxic
cardiac
arrest
and I realised I nearly 'lost' someone I loved. He's been in rehabilitation in Bristol since April 24 and I tell him I love him every day. I'm hoping love will save him. He's getting better and better but has cognitive problems.

Heart Failure
I've had afib for many years now its become permanent despite 3 ablations I have developed heart failure as well Im on Jardiance for this but I'm worried because I've read that permanent afib with heart failure can cause
cardiac
arrest
does anyone know if that's true as I also have had 2 stents fitted

Cardiac arrest/pause/shock
My 52 y old husband had a
cardiac
arrest
and heart attack (100% blocked artery) I was with him so did CPR straight away so luckily he came back in 10-15 seconds. I've seen an arrest in the past so I thought that was it.

Exercise Guidance
I have been building up my exercise levels gradually after after my
cardiac
arrest
in Feb (LVEF 30-35%), but am a bit worried about pushing myself too much, as I know I can be quite competitive (against myself).

Is AF life threatening or not?
However, recently, l have been getting replies that are telling me the opposite and that AF can lead to heart failure or worse can cause a
cardiac
arrest
. There seems some crossed wires here, so could someone please explain this to me?

Hypoxic brain damage
Hi, my Dad had a
cardiac
arrest
on the 16th August last year a few days after falling off a cliff and surviving. He now has hypoxic brain damage and is in rehabilitation. He's a completely new person and almost seems brainwashed? I'm still struggling to cope due to the massive personality change.

Oocha and icd placement.
10 weeks ago I had a witnessed out of hospital
cardiac
arrest

(SCA) story proves that a SCA does not discriminate. It can happen to anybody, at any time, in any age.
