Scary Occurrence

My husband is post ICD surgery two years ago and has been doing fine, Friday night right after we had dinner (and it was overly warm in our kitchen) he had just taken his coreg and coumadin and started sweating profusely, got very dizzy and weak, his lips turned totally white and his face was totally gray. He vomited up everything he had just eaten but 5 minutes prior. I put an icepack on his head, turned a fan on him and in about 15 minutes he recovered. What could this have been? I have never been so afraid in my life for him. He has not had anything since Friday night and feels okay now. He has recently been changed to the generic Coreg, could that be it..does anyone have any ideas, please help.

Scary is right. I'm not trying to diagnose his problem but I had almost identical symptoms when I had a heart attack several yars ago. The only thing is it was aobut 2 or three hours before I felt fine. Get him to a doctor and now. An ekg will tell if he had a heart attack.
