What should one do in the case of a heart attack? I mean, besides shouting help and maybe calling an ambulance, are there any ways to minimize the pain on the chest? Pic unrelated.
Chew a 500mg aspirin and hold it under the tonge. That will improve survival up to a 50%.
Pain management is just symptomatic relief and won't affect overall survivam

you will feel chest and arm pain. obviously call for help and scream like a faggot. People are not ready for it (CPR and such), so maximize your chance. the more people know the better. and no there's nothing you can do for the pain in your immediate state.

don't do that. your only chance is for people seeing you. don't die in your bathroom alone, looking for meds.

make yourself cough, it will simulate a CPR (although weak) and help your heart hold on until help arrives.
And like other anons said, beg help like a pussy, and don't hesitate to point your finger at a stranger and designate them directly as strangers are more prone to help if you talk to them directly.

Then don't tell people NOT to do something that have a good possibility of saving their fucking lives, fuck-face.
