What is a "Cardiac Cocktail"?
I have angina,and two years ago,when I went to have a kidney stone laserd,I was given morphine just before they were to take me out to blast my stone.I had an attack.I couldn't breath and the pain was radiating from my chest,to my neck.It felt as if an elephant was sitting on my chest,holding me down,and I almost blanked out from lack of oxygen.
I vaguely remember what was going on around me,I could see faces all around my bed.and hear loud voices.My hubby said I had coded,but the doctor never said what happened,except that he had to administer me a cardiac cocktail..
They had to post pone the prosedure.The urologist told me later that he had to administer a "cardiac cocktail".
I don't know what this is and what it was given for.Was it my heart ? A reaction to the morphine? Need explanation of what A cardiac cocktail is, and what it is used for. No one will tell me,which makes me think they are hiding something from me..
