IMO this is cardiogenic shock secondary to hyperkalemia and CHF. Emergency treatment plan is as stated before. Transport to the nearest primary care facility with a cardiologist on duty. Calcium chloride, 1 ampoule IV push and titrate to ECG response should be immediate and is the 1st line Rx. Long term - adjust meds.
