What would your pulse/heart rate be like during a heart attack?
Question:
Answers:
It depends entirely on what is causing the heart attack.
In my case, it was a blockage, so my pulse simply went faster and faster until it was fibrillating weakly. say well over 200 bpm.
But it could be that the attack is associated with insufficient cardiac output due to bradycardia itself (low pulse rate), requiring higher stroke volumes per beat, which the heart is incapable of delivering, so the muscles of the heart itself are being starved of blood and begin to fail.
So it's not possible to be specific, -sorry!
It depends.it maybe rapid or it may be slow. It may be thready etc.It also depends on the person's "normal" rate.
hello,
your pulse rate and blood pressure during a heart attack can vary. its very complicated. you can have a right sided heart attach, a left sided, spetal wall and so on. so depending on where exactly the blockage is and what its effecting you could have little or no signs at all. if you are concerned because you have a heart condition then you shouldn't ignore any pain from your jaw line down to your waist. also don't ignore any onsets of unexplained sweats or numbness and tingling in your arms or pains in the arms or neck and back
