First Aid for Heart Attacks: Symptoms and Steps

A heart attack happens when the heart's blood supply is cut off.

This can cause chest pain, shortness of breath, and other symptoms.

If someone is having a heart attack, you should call for help right away.

Make sure they are comfortable and if they are conscious, give them aspirin.

If they stop breathing, start CPR.

Eating healthy foods, exercising, and not smoking can help prevent heart attacks.

Regular checkups to monitor blood pressure and cholesterol are also important.

Insurance, especially critical illness insurance, can provide financial help.
