🚨 WHAT TO DO IF YOU THINK YOU’RE HAVING A HEART ATTACK — AND YOU’RE ALONE

It’s late in the day, you’re driving home after a long, stressful shift.
Suddenly, there’s a strange **tightness in your chest** — maybe it spreads to your arm, jaw, or back.
You start **sweating for no reason**, feel dizzy, or have that gut feeling something’s seriously wrong.

This could be your body’s warning sign of a **heart attack** — and what you do in the next few minutes could **save your life**.

🩺 What To Do — Step by Step:

1️⃣ **Pull over safely** and **call 999 or 112 immediately.**
Don’t try to drive yourself. Tell the operator you think you’re having a heart attack.

2️⃣ **Unlock your doors** and **turn on your hazard lights** so help can reach you quickly.

3️⃣ **Chew and swallow one full aspirin (300 mg)** — *only if you’re not allergic or on medication that prevents it.*

4️⃣ **Stay calm, sit quietly, and wait for help.** Avoid unnecessary movement — every bit of rest helps your heart.

5️⃣ If you become unresponsive and someone finds you, they should **start CPR** and use an **AED** if one’s nearby.

⚠️ About “Cough CPR”

You may have seen posts saying to **cough repeatedly** during a heart attack — this is **not recommended**.
That “cough CPR” method was used **only in hospitals under medical supervision** for certain rhythm problems while attached to monitors.
It’s **not effective or safe to use outside hospital settings.**
The best thing you can do is **call for help early** and **stay as still as possible**.

👩‍🦰 Women’s Heart Attack Symptoms Can Be Different:

Women are less likely to feel “crushing” chest pain.
They might notice:

* Sudden fatigue or weakness
* Shortness of breath
* Pain across the upper back, shoulders, or jaw
* Nausea or indigestion-like discomfort

If in doubt — **don’t wait it out. Call 999 or 112 immediately.**

❤️ A Message Worth Sharing

Every minute counts in a heart emergency.
Sharing the *right* information could **save a life** — maybe even your own.

👉 Learn **CPR and AED use** with your local **Community First Responders (CFR)** team.
You could be the link that keeps someone alive until professional help arrives.

Stay safe, stay aware, and look out for each other. 💙

Call 999 / 112
