Iran Press/ Iran news: Armita fainted and suffered a blood pressure drop at a metro station in Tehran earlier this month.On October 1, Armita and her friends were entering a train at the Tehran metro station when she fainted, resulting in her hitting her head and slipping into a coma.
The impact on her head was severe, leading to cardiac arrest. She was immediately transferred to the nearest specialized hospital for further treatment.
Minutes later, an ambulance arrived, and with the efforts of the metro officers and a lady who was likely a nurse, Armita was resuscitated and transferred to the hospital by ambulance.
According to the doctors' official report, Armita experienced a sudden blood pressure drop which caused her to fall and sustain a brain injury. This injury resulted in recurring seizures, decreased cerebral oxygenation, and cerebral edema.

What happened at the metro station?
According to credible testimonies and published videos, including the CCTV footage, the 16-year-old school student entered the Shohada metro station in eastern Tehran together with her friends, PressTV reported.
Fatemeh, a classmate and close friend of Armit who was present at the time of the incident, told local media that they arrived at the metro station and everything was normal as always. They listened to music, talked, and laughed a lot, she elaborated, refuting Western media’s version.
Mahla, another classmate and friend of Armita, said she joined the two girls in the waiting area a few minutes after they had arrived, and the three waited for the train to go to school.
When the train arrived, the girls hurried to enter the wagon and Mahla entered first, followed by Armita, and then Fatemeh. Moments after entering the metro, Armita collapsed, right at the door.
Fatemeh, who was behind Armita, took her by the hands and Mahla by her legs, and with the help of several other female passengers, they swiftly moved her out of the wagon and laid her on the floor of the subway platform where they tried to revive her.
