My dad just had a massive heart attack 6 days ago. It was as bad as it gets and they told us the whole time that he was probably going to die. It's a miracle that he survived! And now he's been awake for almost 4 days. His short term memory was initially very, very bad and he would forget things minutes after you told him. We see small improvements now, but we are told it will likely take at least a few months to get better, but there is no guarantee that it will come back completely. I am having a hard time finding much solid information about this on the internet, and every nurse I talk to seems to have a little different idea about if he's showing enough improvement for us to feel that he will recover his short term memory loss completely. From what I understand, it is a case by case situation... some people will recover their short term memory, some not at all, and some anywhere in between.
Could be serious. Better get to the hospital.
Anyone can suffer from a heart attack and it could only be minutes for the heart attack to kick in.
An EKG cannot rule out a heart attack. It gives a snap shot of the hearts electrical circuit at that moment. An EKG can show some changes indicative that there may be cardiac problems, as well as if you are actively having a particular type of heart attack (known as a STEMI).But you can be having a heart attack with no EKG changes. The definitive answer comes from blood work done at the hospital.
Yes, you can have a heart attack even if you quit smoking many years ago. Not all heart attacks occur in smokers. Smoking increases the risk of a heart attack, though. Within eight to 15 years of quitting smoking, your risk of heart attack is at the same level as that of nonsmokers.
That completely depends on a number of things, starting with how severe the heart attack was. The second completely depends on how the human lives. If they eat right and exercise properly, they can live a long, long time. If they do not, they will not live a long, long time.
Take him/her to the hospital immidiatly.

Yes, but your chances of survival are very good. You are in a hospital, after all. Actually, you can have a heart attack at any time, anywhere.
