What To Do Before Help Arrives.

• Having a heart attack is a traumatic experience.
So try to remain calm.

• Another recommended position is to lie flat on your back with your feet up above your heart, the Venus position.

• Once the person is comfortable, all tight fitting clothing should be loosened to avoid any restriction.

• It is important that the person does not walk around; lying or sitting in a relaxed position without pressure on the lungs is the best.

• If a person’s heart stops beating, it becomes necessary to start CPR, but it is important that a person administering CPR is trained correctly.

• If you do not know how to do CPR then doing heart compressions is the best option.
