Olivia Newton John – Heart Attack
How can a heart attack cause a seizure when seizures happen in the brain?
My friend’s dad died of a heart attack. They said he had convulsions on the floor.
What was described may or may not indicate a true seizure. A seizure, as you say, is by definition uncontrolled and disorganized firing of neurons in the cortex of the brain. But any neurologic injury can cause a seizure.
During a heart attack, blood is not delivered to the body, including the brain, and blood is needed to deliver oxygen to cells–without it, they die. Anoxia (lack of oxygen) causes brain damage very quickly, and could be an instigating factor in a seizure. Another possibility is that an embolism or blood clot was thrown off during the heart attack which traveled to the brain, causing the damage and seizure that way.
I am very sorry to hear about your friend’s father. My own father died of a heart attack; it’s a very difficult thing to go through.

How long after a heart attack do you stop thinking every chest pain is another attack?
Had a stint placed after a heart attack near two years ago after an allergic reaction caused the heart attack, complete respiratory failure and near a month in critical condition, I am 45 and still dealing with the thoughts of dying and every small muscle twinge being another heart attack … Cardiologist says everything is PERFECT but does not seem to help.
what you describe is common, you might benefit from some cognitive behavioral therapy.
After a heart attack amounts of lactic acid are present What does this say about the nature of a heart attack?
So basically
After a heart attack SMALL amounts of lactic acid are present. What does this suggest about the nature of a heart attack?
PLEASE HELP!!!!
also if you can answer this too it would be great
In certain cases, regular excercise causes an increase in the number of mitochondria in muscle cells. How might that situation improve an individual’s ability to perform energy requiring activities?
Lactic acid is produced when human cells are going through anaerobic (without oxygen) cellular respiration. This means, the cells don’t get the required oxygen. Since There is a small amount of lactic acid present after a heart attack, this means that the heart tissue is not receiving oxygen during the heart attack, which would be consistent with how a heart attack occurs (the blood vessels feeding the heart tissues are obstructed).
In response to "In certain cases, regular excercise causes an increase in the number of mitochondria in muscle cells. How might that situation improve an individual’s ability to perform energy requiring activities?"
Mitochondria is the center for ATP (energy) production. Therefore, if you have more mitochondria in muscle cells, you would increase the ATP production giving your cells the ability to generate energy to be consumed in energy required actives more easily.

What are emotional effects after a heart attack?
I am a 62 year old woman and had a heart attack two weeks ago which ended with a femoral angioplasty. I came home from the hospital this weekend and I’m finding it difficult to sleep because I am afraid I may not wake up or I will wake up with another heart attack. I am weepy and emotional for not apparent reason. Can someone who has experienced a heart attack and/or heart surgery tell me if this is common? Should I see a doctor about it or will it go away shortly?
Hi felixetal….
You have been through a very traumatic situation. Your life has changed dramatically, literally. I know, I went through it as well. Don’t be so hard on yourself. I don’t know how anyone could go through what you have and not have it weigh on their mind. I had to learn to look at what happened to me in another light. I was 45 when I had my heart attack and it ended up with me having bypass surgery. Two weeks after the surgery two of the four bypasses they performed collapsed. I have all the same symptoms today that I did prior to the surgery, just not as severe. So I live with the constant reminder of what I have experienced. Key word being live. I live everyday. I refuse to stop living. I know for certain that the day will come that I stop living. In fact, there have been times where when I have gone to bed at night that I didn’t know whether or not I would see the next morning. It is scary so I know how you feel. I *choose* to look at each and every day as a gift. Every day is a day that I would not have had without receiving the treatment I did. I only tell you all of this so that you can see you are not alone.
You went through alot. Your body has gone through alot. Your mind is along for the ride my dear. Based on what you have said and how you have said it, I have to ask, have all of your symptoms that you had prior to the angioplasty disappeared? If so that is wonderful. If not then that has got to be weighing on your mind. If they haven’t you need to speak with your Cardiologist. Please don’t be afraid to do so. You are a strong woman, you’ve been through the hardest part. Facing the heart attack and facing your own immortality. Anything they throw at you now is workable. Are you on meds, what are they if I may ask? Is it possible that the meds are affecting your emotions? Did the Dr prescribe nitro pills? Are you taking aspirin? I assume you are on Plavix or Clopidogrel or something similar. By the way, if you are taking aspirin just realize that after a period of time it may play havoc with your digestive system. I used Nexium for several months after my surgery to fend off the effects of using aspirin on a regular basis. Now I keep a bottle of Maalox tablets on hand and I also use Pepcid when necessary.
You know what I have in my medicine cabinet that I use as a "security blanket"? Nitroglycerin Transdermal System patches. I only use them when I start having chest pressure that just hangs on and won’t go away. Normally within 15 minutes after applying the patch the symptom subsides. Talk to your Cardiologist about them. If for no other reason, just to get you through this time until you can come to terms with what you have experienced. Put one on at night before going to bed. You can wear them for 12 hour periods.
The most important advice my Dr gave me was not to live my life as if I had a heart condition. So I don’t. I know I have the problem and I deal with it but I don’t dwell on it.
I pray that what I have said here makes sense to you. I don’t know of any other way to help you through this. Just know this, you are NOT alone.
Here if I can be of anymore help…
Tammy.
