Basic life support: Make sure their airway is clear, lie them flat and yell for help. Call 911. If they can talk and have a pulse, hold their hand until the paramedics get there. If they don't have a pulse, start chest compressions. Heart attack patients usually have chest pain, strokes are usually painless (maybe terrible headache) but some part of the body isn't working. Seizures are usually jerking. But you can't.
