Dear Sir
It is really sad to learn about your mom. I can understand your state of mind.
Nausea and vomiting can be sole manifestations of heart attack in old age. A repeat heart attack can occur within 2-3 days of first heart attack. Water in lungs is a manifestation of heart failure which is a known complication of heart attack.
I do not know if she could undergo primary angioplasty (opening of blood vessel (artery) of heart by balloon and stenting) or not?
Sincerely
