Call 911: If you are unexpectedly awakened by an oppressive sensation on your chest or inability to breathe, sudden shortness of breath at rest with cold sweats, pressure sensation in the chest, sudden severe weakness, feeling of impending doom when all this is happening, you should call 911 for emergency medical help and transport to a heart attack management center.
