This is a very critical situation as there is no telling how a heart attack can affect you. If you think you are having a heart attack or if you suspect someone in your family is, then call an ambulance immediately. Before they come, ask them if any medicine should be taken. Before taking any medicine, try to cough and breathe deeply.
