Does this sound like a heart attack or something else?My mom visited me today and she called 0to tell me she made it home alright but that my step dad is not acting right. He is nauseous, complaining of pain in chest, left arm, left leg, and his eyes are randomly rolling back into his head. What does this sound like to you. He is about 6 ft tall and weighs about 270. No history of heart disease, but his mother died of complications from Liver Disease and his sister and niece both have lupus.

It sounds like a 911 call, he's either having a stroke or heart attack and needs a medical assessment immediately
Answer by Gabe D
yes for the most part it does The most common heart attack signs and symptoms are:
Chest discomfort or pain—uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, fullness, or pain in the center of the chest that can be mild or strong. This discomfort or pain lasts more than a few minutes or goes away and comes back.
Upper body discomfort in one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw, or stomach.
Shortness of breath may occur with or before chest discomfort.
Other signs include nausea (feeling sick to your stomach), vomiting, lightheadedness or fainting, or breaking out in a cold sweat. A heart attack occurs when blood flow to a section of heart muscle becomes blocked. If the flow of blood isn't restored quickly, the section of heart muscle becomes damaged from lack of oxygen and begins to die.
Heart attack is a leading killer of both men and women in the United States. But fortunately, today there are excellent treatments for heart attack that can save lives and prevent disabilities. Treatment is most effective when started within 1 hour of the beginning of symptoms. If you think you or someone you're with is having a heart attack, call 9–1–1 right away.

Possibly a stroke mixed with something Neurological.
Should have called 911 immediately. They have certain drugs on board to administer during the "golden hour" if it is a stroke and if a heart event, etc. They can call in enroute and get advised as to what drugs to administer to hold his problem at bay until they arrive at the ER for STAT attention. Always be wary of the "Golden Hour" because it is critical the victim be treated and possibly the effects of whatever either minimized or reversed.
