What is the best thing to do to prevent death from heart attack? especially when there is no one with medical experience around?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Heart attack: Take 6 baby aspirin. Take a beta blocker if you have any (metoprolol, for example). Call ambulance. Do not lie down; remain in sitting position until squad arrives. Stay on line with 911 operator if possible until squad arrives. Minimize exertion to prevent increased demand on heart.
