  • ALWAYS CALL 911 FIRST IF YOU'RE SUSPECTING SOMEONE IS HAVING A HEART ATTACK!

    That being said though:

    You can save a life by always carrying around aspirin. Aspirin prevents platelets from clotting, which is very useful when someone is suffering from a heart attack. It's even one of the first medications first responders often use when someone is having a heart attack. After you've called 911 have the person chew on and swallow aspirin, making sure they're not allergic.

    The act of chewing makes it so the aspirin is absorbed quicker. Stay with the victim until emergency services arrive and tell them you've given the person aspirin and the dose. This is useful information for them to know.

    P.s. Here are the signs someone might be having a heart attack:

    Chest pain or discomfort;

    Shortness of breath;

    Pain or discomfort in the jaw, neck, back, arm, or shoulder;

    Feeling nauseous, light-headed, or unusually tired.
