Someone I know is experiencing a severe heart attack. What should I do?
Asked by Male, 30 · 2 months ago
Call emergency services immediately. While waiting for help, have the person sit or lie down, keep them calm and comfortable, and loosen any tight clothing. If they are not allergic and can swallow, give them a standard dose of aspirin (usually 325 mg) to chew, as it can help reduce blood clotting. If they become unconscious and are not breathing, perform CPR or use an AED, if you are trained, until medical assistance arrives.
