Sounds like a textbook heart attack, actually.

Nausea can be a symptom of a heart attack.
On occasion, vomiting can be a symptom.
Profuse vomiting? I've never heard of that as a heart attack indicator.

Well, I went into cardiac arrest following a day or so of ralphing everything, even water. I'd call the vomiting profuse. And the hospital thought I had a bad flu.

He either had ebola or aspirated his own vomit. It’s not easy to aspirate enough vomitus to drown in it instantly.
