What does someone feel when having a cardiac arrest?

Faint: Then nothing. No pulsatille flow. Pallor, occasionally a seizure. No brain circulation we are guessing since we really do not know, except sometimes seeing someone in hospital on monitor and observing it happen and inquiring!

Lights out: When BP drops below 60mm/hg, loss of consciousness usually occurs, therefore you may still remain conscious for a few seconds after the heart stops.
