sign and symptoms of cardiac arrest - #21500

Avni

I am really worried lately because my uncle just had a cardiac arrest. We were playing cards, and then suddenly, he just fell down! At first, I thought he was joking, but when he didn’t get up, we called 911 right away. The paramedics said he showed a few sign and symptoms of cardiac arrest before he collapsed — things like clutching his chest and gasping for breath. I didn’t really notice those things until after they told us, and now I’m freaking out about what to look for, you know? I mean, what exactly are the common sign and symptoms of cardiac arrest? Like, can someone be talking one minute and then just go down the next? My grandma has high blood pressure too, and I’m scared of her having this. Should I be looking for the same sign and symptoms of cardiac arrest with her? Sometimes she has trouble breathing, but I thought it was just asthma. It feels heavy thinking about all this stuff, like, are there early warning signs before it happens, or is it just sudden? I really don’t want to miss anything!
