Signs of cardiac arrest that I have not read discussed here. It happened to me last week. Right hand went into a knot. It was gnarled and painful. I undid the fingers and thought it unusual and a first. Left the computer and went downstairs to read.The left hand went into a worse and more painful knot. I screamed with the pain. It was hard to undo... I went to the kitchen and drank some coconut milk and protein powder mix. The phone rings. It's the Doctor whom I had seen at 9 am. Get to the ER now. Why I ask . Because you are in danger of cardiac arrest. Can I drink Gator Aid any thing to avoid the hospital where I had just been two weeks earlier for a horrid stay. NO, and get going have someone drive you. They will be waiting for you with an IV. Your vitals are terrible. One hour later I am sitting with an IV bag in my veins... Potassium and Sodium Chloride. I had written a post on this board in May that I could not get my chloride levels up and was eating kosher salt to try to raise the level reading from 127 to 135 which is low normal. AT 105 you are dead. This has been an on going problem for me... and it continues. I was in again for two more days of IV fluids and they could not get the levels up to higher than 131.... Now I am on restricted water intake. I have to eat salt. I have to go every five days for a metobolic blood test. While in the E.R one Dr. thought I night have brain cancer where the brain does not allow the body to produce sodium. This is a disease. So off for brain scans and chest ex rays I went. Negative. I do not have S.I D A H. if anyone wants to research it... My symptoms now are terrible. They call it electrolyte imbalance. No energy. The kid who used to go the gym and do the elliptical,treadmill,weights and YOGA can barely make it up the stairs and typing this post is an effort. But heart attacks can come in other forms than high BP or cholesterol. They can come from imbalances as the Dr. said, that spasm in the left hand could have been your heart. It's a muscle too. I avoided a big one. What if I had not had blood drawn that morning. It was pure luck.
