If you have a heart attack at home, do this in 10 seconds and you can save your life.(1 / 2)

🚨 What to do right away:

1. Call an ambulance. In Pakistan, you can call Rescue 1122 where available.

2. Stop what you’re doing and sit down in a comfortable position.

3. Unlock the door if you can do so safely, so rescuers can enter.

4. Do not drive yourself to the hospital.

5. If you collapse and become unresponsive, someone nearby should call emergency services, start CPR, and use an AED if available.

Warning signs: chest pressure or pain, shortness of breath, cold sweats, nausea, or pain spreading to the arm, jaw, back, or shoulder. Symptoms can occur without severe chest pain.

There is no proven 10-second trick that stops a heart attack. Coughing forcefully, for example, is not a reliable treatment.

If this is happening to you right now, call 1122 immediately where available. Don’t wait for a reply here.
