How long after?

Question

A friend was flatline for about 20 seconds and had to be shocked back that was almost 3 days ago and yet she still has a pain in her chest, the doctors say it's normal and it will go in a day or two, also she had her stomache pumped and keeps having nose bleeds is that anything to do with it? Her doctors are all saying it's normal but they don't sound too reassuring

Answer 1

If your friend had to be resucitated then I'm not surprised her chest hurts. The shock that jolts a heart back into rhythm affects all the muscles of the chest, not to mention any CPR that was likely done would also have left her sore. Restarting a heart isn't like changing a battery in the back of your watch after all. The nose bleeds are probably due to irritation from the tubing placed to evacuate her stomach, and the mucous membranes will heal in a few days as well. All things considered, if her worst physical problems are a sore chest and nose bleeds, then she is considerably blessed- considering the other option was death. She is fortunate that whatever had to be removed from her stomach didn't do any damage. It's not the usual procedure to remove things that aren't hazardous, so I'm guessing she took an overdose of something. I hope if that's the case she is recieving some sort of mental health counseling as well. Physically speaking, the things you are listing are normal after what she had done, and the time frame the doctors are giving you is about right. But if she is nervous about it, she can always ask another doctor for a second opinion.

Answer 2

wy dont u go for a second opinion. it cud b nothing in the end but no harm in seeking medical expertise.

chest pain cud be due to cardiological or gastrointestinal problems. stomach thing cud be due to gastrointestinal and digestion problem and nose bleeding cud cud b due to dehydration or ENT problem
this requires various examinations to diagnose.
