Hi.. Heart stopping occurs if there is a conduction block or following a serious condition such as fibrillation.. Get an ECG to see what exactly may be the problem.. The treatment depends on the condition... Treatment would include medications or pacemaker placements... Consult a doctor, a cardiologist...
