What is the first aid treatment for angina?
If you experience angina symptoms, you should stop whatever activity you are doing and rest. Nitrates are the most common way to treat angina. Nitrate spray or nitrate tablets that dissolve under your tongue are used when you first start to feel the symptoms of angina.
Do you perform CPR on a heart attack?
A heart attack happens when blood flow to the heart is blocked. A person having a heart attack is still talking and breathing. This person does not need CPR—but they do need to get to the hospital right away.
