#Buffalo #Bills player safety Damar Hamlin makes this tackle and with incredible force makes contact to the ground. He then gets up only to fall down involuntarily.
This seems like a vasovagal syncope phenomenon where a stressful trigger leads to a sudden drop in HR and BP. pic.twitter.com/Ozw9vxtNi8

Currently, Buffalo star safety Damar Hamlin was on the field in the game. He made a tackle and then stood up. The 24-year-old star then fell backwards on his back. At first there was concerns that he was injured. Then there were concerns that there was a head injury. Then there were concerns whether he was going to make it.
Those watching the game couldn’t believe what was happening.
An ambulance then came and eventually took him off the field.
UPDATE: Medics worked on Damar Hamlin for 9 minutes.
FOX News reported he has a pulse but is not breathing on his own.

ESPN HAS VIDEO….
Damar had a pulse but was not breathing on his own.
I’m told Damar Hamlin has a pulse, but is not breathing on his own. He is being transported to UC.
Needed AED and CPR on the field.
