What Causes Bulging Up Of Veins On Forehead And Mouth Foaming?

My mother in law had a laprasopic knee surgery a few months ago. Last Friday she wanted her asthma pump but it could not be found. She wanted her abruteral machine on but we did not have any medicine for it. Her veins on her forehead started to pop out. She started foaming at the mouth. We called the ambulance and rushed her to the hospital. As they was about to go take her down for a cat-scan, her heart stopped. What caused it? I thought it could have been a blood clot.

hai,thanks for using HCM.
She has had an acute attack of asthma or exacerbation,which when not taken timely action has various complications related to the lungs & the heart.
this can cause raised pulmonary arterial pressures with reciprocation changes in the mean arterial pressures,co2 variations & intra cranial pressures.
this frothy discharge is due to pulmonary oedema
laparoscopic surgery few months ago may not be related to the present problem.
the other cause can be due to pulmonary embolism,or any thrombi/clot in the coronary vessels due to the displacement of the emboli,or if she had a post operative deep vein thrombosis
take care
