Watching House again and a couple of times people have died (temporarily) when their hearts stop. But before they go they all mention pain. This reminded me of when people have heart attacks there’s pain in the chest and left arm.
But why would it hurt if the heart stops beating? Is it the nerves, muscles, whatever dying due to the lack of oxygen and nutrients or is it the brain screaming at itself that the heart has stopped and it’s in full panic mode?

A lot of people have solid answers here, so I just wanted to go on record to say that House (and medical TV shows in general) are not medically accurate at all, so keep that in mind when you’re watching
