The patient should immediately tell the nearby person what is happening to him – regardless of the time of the day/night and whether he knows him or not. Then, make the person lie down immediately to loose his clothing. Make sure he is breathing. You may lift his chin slightly to ensure that he breathes freely. Keep him conscious. If the breathing stops, a trained person should give him artificial respiration till a medical help arrives.
Do not lose anytime in getting a medical help. Do not move the patient around. I was shifted from my office to my car, then to my residence and finally to the ICCU, while I was experiencing a heart attack. In all these movements valuable time is wasted which worsen my heart condition. It is very likely that I had received an immediate medical attention at the office or has I been directly shifted from the office to the ICCU, then the damage to my heart would have been less.
