Health Matters Q: Could you please explain the difference between a stroke, a heart attack, and a diabetic attack? A: All three of these conditions may cause a loss of consciousness but they are very different problems. A stroke refers to a condition where the brain is not getting enough oxygen and suffers an injury. This is also referred to as a Cerebrovascular Accident (CVA). This is usually caused by a blockage in the arteries that supply blood to the brain but occasionally is caused when one of the blood vessels in the brain ruptures. The symptoms depend on the extent and location of the injury and usually include loss of function such as paralysis of the extremities, loss of speech or other functions. When the interruption to the blood supply is temporary, the symptoms might resolve within a matter of minutes or hours. When this occurs, we use the term Transient Ischemic Attack or TIA. A heart attack refers to a condition where the heart muscle is not getting enough oxygen and suffers an injury. This is also referred to as a myocardial infarction or MI. This is usually caused by a blockage in the arteries that supply blood to the heart and may produce symptoms of chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness or just confusion. Heart attacks also vary in severity based upon the location and extent of the injury. A diabetic attack or diabetic coma refers to a condition where the blood sugar has gone dangerously low or dangerously high, resulting in a coma. There are three different scenarios that can cause a coma in a diabetic and all three are life threatening situations which require emergency treatment.
