What Causes Sudden Nasal Bleeding And Drooling While Having Hypertension?

my husband drove a big truck. He was found unresponsive with a nose bleed and drooling still in his truck and he died.. I was told my EMS that he was gone by the time they got there. They resusitated CPR, shocks, fluids, but they couldn t get his heart started. He was 59. What could have caused the bleeding from the nose and drooling? He was obese and was hypertensive, but it was controlled well. Didn t have usual heart symptoms. I just wish I had answers to what happened to him.

Hello!

Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!

I am sorry about your husband. He seems to have suffered a sudden heart attack.

The nose bleeding could be indicative of uncontrolled high blood pressure, probably related to the chest pain.

Drooling is a normal reaction to the pain and does not indicate any specific medical disorder.

As your husband was obese and hypertensive, which are known cardio-vascular risk factors, a heart attack seems to be the most probable cause related to this clinical scenario.

Hope to have clarified some of your uncertainties!

Wishing all the best,

Dr. Iliri
