Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Heart attack causes cardiogenic shock.
And this causes hypotension.
Hypotension triggers sympathetic stimulation and this causes tachycardia, perspiration, Shivering etc.
With every heart attack, severity increases and chances of survival decreases.
So you should be very careful in future.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
