1. Sit person down (on the floor preferably, with feet flat, knees raised pointing towards the ceiling and back against a wall or other hard surface). Make sure he/she is comfortable (note: pain will not go away unless the person is suffering an Angina attack). 2. Call for ambulance. Important Things to remember: * Never leave a person who is having a heart attack alone. * Never try and do any First Aid (except the 2 steps above) unless you are trained and/or qualified. * Do not panic! * If a 'scene' is not safe (eg. there is fire in the room) do NOT enter! * If possible try and keep talking to the casualty as this may help to reassure or calm him. This also lets you know that he is still conscious. By doing the 2 steps above it MAY comfort the causualty because he/she will know that you are there and you are taking care of the person. Hoped this helped:-)
