Congratulations: your character's just had a Hollywood Heart Attack. May be consciously averted in modern medical dramas if the writers care. Real Life heart attacks vary in their nature, from instantaneous death to chest-clutching dramatics to ones you don't realize you've had until an ECG years later discovers the damage left behind. Some sufferers collapse; some don't. Some throw up; some faint. A massive heart attack can make the sufferer feel like he's about to have a bout of diarrhea, which is one reason why so many people die on the toilet. (For those interested, it happens because blood pools in the mesenteric veins when the heart suddenly weakens. This also is why hospitals have emergency pulls by toilets. And Now You Know.) Note that some examples go so far wrong as to call a heart attack "heart failure", which is a completely different condition that has to do with the heart's ability to efficiently pump the blood it receives.
