Could ammonia in the bottle could wake up a fainted woman that has a heart disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Syncope: It might if she's still alive but we don't use smelling salts any more, and please don't pour ammonia on anybody, they won't much appreciate it. Better to call the paramedics and let them help with a fainted person.
