My grandpa had a heart attack yesterday. He has been unconcious since then last night they but a central line through him to cool him down to 94 degrees. It took the ambulence 15 minutes to get to him from the time he started having issues breathing and ever 30 seconds he would gasp for air. do you think he is going to have severe brain damage
Hi, After going through your medical query I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that breathing issues are very common during heart attack and possibly your grandpa had sudden cardiac arrest which is why they took time to revive him. He will require ICU care and proper cardiac check up like ECG, Echocardiography and angiography and further treatment under a cardiologist. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
