If you think someone is having a heart
attack, look for the four Ps:

1. Pain – a continuous pain in the chest,
which could spread to the jaw, neck or
arms

2. Pale skin

3. Rapid and weak pulse

4. Perspiration/sweating

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO

Call 999 or 112 medical help and say
you think someone is having a heart
attack.

**Then, help move them into the most
comfortable position. The best position is
on the floor leaning against a wall with
knees bent and head and shoulders
supported. This should ease the pressure
on their heart and stop them hurting
themselves if they collapse.

**Give them a 300mg aspirin, if available
and they're not allergic, and tell them to
chew it slowly.

**Be aware that they may develop shock.
Shock does not mean emotional shock,
but is a life-threatening condition, which
can be brought on by a heart attack.

**Keep checking their breathing, pulse and
level of response.

FORWARD THIS TO FRIENDS, YOU MIGHT BE SAVING A LIFE.
