Post operative progress
Then suddenly, with no warning, I had a
cardiac
arrest
whilst spectating at an event. Fortunately there were people around me who understood cpr!! I survived thanks to them and some great cardiac medics in hospital. They stented a blocked artery, but others were restricted.

Chronic Fatigue (CFS), Heart Attack and Cardiac Arrest
Thank god I didn't get my hands on it because 5 weeks later I had a
cardiac
arrest
and heart attack ( I was very lucky). Anyway, I had 2 stents fitted and some clean up on the 3rd artery. My recovery will be longer.

Emergency help

cardiac

twice because my anxiety went overboard. Any ideas??

Anoxic Brain Damage
He almost died and went into
cardiac
arrest
on the surgery table before surgery started there fore he lost oxygen to the brain. He’s now struggling with memory loss and confusion. It’s only been 7 months but to me feels like a lifetime. Any advice or positive feedback would be great.

Icd related question
Hi I had an icd fitted 5 years ago after suffering from a
cardiac
arrest
I’ve had an ablation to help resolve atrial fibrillation but had to have a new icd box reimplanted as battery was low on February this year.
