Chest pain can be due to various conditions like indigestion to heart attack.

• Call hospital for immediate medical assistance. If the access to such medical assistance is not there then ask your friend or neighbor to drive you to the hospital. Try to avoid driving, keep as the last option when no one is around.

• You can chew a regular strength aspirin. Aspirin will help to slow the blood clotting, which otherwise may lead to heart attack. Consult with your doctor before hand on taking aspirin.

• If you have a heart attack and in case your doctor has previously prescribed nitroglycerin take it as directed. Do not use your friend medication or OTC medication.

• If the person becomes unconscious begin cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). In case you are not trained to do CPR start chest compression hard and fast with 100 compressions per minute.
