My mother in law is a 55 yr old Arabic woman. She is not just telling me that her heart felt like it was being squezed then started to race. I checked her puls and it was 126 resp were 15. says she is just a little nausated. Do you think this could be a mild heart attack? I cant convence her to go to the Dr. Please help me a little

Sounds like she is having palpitations
She should see a doctor
You should call an ambulance for her if she develops PAIN in the chest or if she begins to become Short Of Breath!

Women experience heart attack differently from men. Call 911 right now . She could be having either a heart attack or a stroke either way she needs to see doctor ASAP. If she says no ask her if her will is made out and what kind of funeral she wants. Maybe then she will know it is serious.
