Aspirin: Other than getting him to an er inside a hospital (not one of the outpatient er's which should not be called an er at all) about the most helpful thing you can do is to give him 325 mg of Aspirin (adult aspirin) to chew. If he has Nitroglycerin tabs that he can put under his tongue, he can use up to three, with 5 min wait between tabs, if his blood pressure is ok.
