You should give 325 mg of aspirin to an adult who's having a heart attack because, not only is aspirin a painkiller and an anti-inflammatory, it's also a blood thinner. It will thin the blood and therefore reduce the blood pressure and may dissolve a blood clot that caused the heart attack or stroke.
