t know if I would go so far as to say you are going into cardiac arrest the fact that you are sensing a long pause of some sort needs to be investigated. Please visit your doctor to get reevaluated. If you do not have any other troubling symptoms that may be a good sign you have nothing to worry about but please do go get checked out, a doctor really needs to make that call. Take care and keep us posted on how you are doing.
Now, a leading doctor at this hospital claims that there is no way a head trauma like the one experienced, or any for that matter, could cause the victim to enter cardiac arrest. The view is that this victim had to have had entered cardiac arrest possibly while running or at some point along the way, but NOT from the actual head trauma. Maybe hereditary condition (but unbeknownst to individual).
I'm thinking cardiac arrest isn't the actual term they used? Cardiac arrest is a heart attack. But in general, it sounds like you had yourself checked out and they couldn't find any heart health issues? Are you sure it's your blood vessels? Why do you think that? Muscles (and we have gazillions, even super tiny little one) twitching is very common. That can be due to fatigue, anxiety or even too much caffeine.
In general the only needles that may be uncapped that go into the sharps are bicarb, epinephrine and other cardiac drugs used during an arrest that are only inserted into the tubing of the intravenous line. Years ago needles were placed directly into the box, but even then the liklihood of contracting HIV, even with an actual needle stick were very small.
Did your husband have a heart attack or cardiac arrest? They are not the same thing. It sounds like you're describing cardiac arrest. A heart attack can lead to cardiac arrest, but a person can also have cardiac arrest without having a heart attack. If your husband had cardiac arrest and is experiencing arrhythmia he or you may want to inquire about getting an ICD. Good luck!

Studies have proven that people who coronary artery disease and Long QT Syndrome have a much higher risk for cardiac arrest and especially in women over 40.
I'm assuming you checked genetic testing out at Familion because those are their prices. There is a new company called GeneDX (www.genedx.com) that has MUCH lower prices. I have had testing done at both places. GeneDX is a more comprehensive test and covers testing that Familion doesn't do yet.
After reviewing results for several months, recommended placing on sotolol and implantation of defibrillator/pacemaker to reduce risk of cardiac arrest because of nonsustained VT. This was done in Feb 2019. Complications occurred - (wire perforation causing pericardial effusion and cardiac tamponade). Recovery has been slow but PVC's have also increased again and are approaching 30%.
A patient 90 years old, suffering congestion, dry cough, urinary infection, under dosage of cough syrup was sleepy. Then was given Cefuroxime, Linezolid antibiotic, corex syp and metolazone diuretics when partially conscious. He didnt eat much drank 50 ml water in last 14 hours and nothing after that. Later in the evening his oxygen was down to 70 SpO2. In 1.5 hours he was given oxygen with oxygen machine and the oxygen started to increase in a bit.
The symptoms or episodes of tachycardia (rapid heart rhythm) may have dizziness, chest palpitations, fainting or, rarely, cardiac arrest. Other people with WPW never have tachycardia or other symptoms.
Whether a person will be treated with medication or with an ablation procedure depends on several factors. These include the severity and frequency of symptoms, risk for future arrhythmias and patient preference.
In 2001 I suffered a massive MI and a prolonged cardiac arrest. It was some 45 mins before they got a regular sustained rhythmn again, I was "defibrillated" several times and they even went beyond protocol to save me. Fortunately for me they did. However, ever since then I have felt different. My memory which used to be a particular strength of mine was weaker, and my ability to multitask almost went overnight. I often forget peoples names or the next word that I want to say.
