A member asked:
What does sudden cardiac arrest feel like?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Victim faints: A cardiac arrest is equal to the heart stopping. There is no blood flow to the brain and the victim faints. There are no pulses, no breathing and no verbal response or movement from the victin. If you think someone is having it, call for help and begin CPR (chest compressions) while the victim is lying flat on their back.
