the best thing to do is seek your physicians advice on taking aspirin daily, either a 325 mg or half of it...or an 81 mg baby aspirin....
preventive medicine goes along way...

Yes, he had a silent heart attack...many folks do and survive!
But that is not what this thread is about...it's about sudden onset cardiac event...
ya standing up straight one minute...and on the floor the next...in the kind of pain that one never forgets, unable to catch your breath....and at the time...they're still not thinking about grabbing that aspirin bottle.

let us know how chewing that aspirin or coughing works for ya....cause if you're having a heart attack...I can promise you...you won't be thinking about getting that aspirin or coughing...just saying!
I once had an employee that worked for two or three days after having a heart attack. He didn't know what was wrong other than he felt bad. When he finally went to a doctor they diagnosed a heart attack. He recovered nicely.

While an Aspirin may help to some degree, I think it would be better if the first thing you did was dial 911, even if you could not speak it will cause an "open" line and from what I have heard it is protocol for them to dispatch an officer to check on the cause.

Be sure to chew instead of swallowing the aspirin. According to Harvard Medical, it takes the aspirin 5 minutes to start working if you chew it and 12 minutes if you swallow it.

A cardiologist wrote that if you think you are having a heart attack and alone, chew an aspirin if you have one. The next best thing is to cough deeply until help arrives, even up to 30 minutes or so. The deep coughing forces blood from the heart to the vitals.
