• in women, pain may be more vague

What to do if you are experiencing these warning signs

• Call 911 or your local emergency number for help, or have someone call for you. It's a good idea to keep a list of emergency numbers near the phone at all times.
• Stop all activity and sit or lie down, in whatever position is most comfortable.
• If you take nitroglycerin, take your normal dosage.
• If you are experiencing chest pain, chew and swallow one (1) adult 325 mg ASA tablet (e.g., Aspirin®) or two (2)low dose 80 mg tablets. Do not use pain medicines like acetaminophen (e.g. Tylenolâ ) or ibuprofen (e.g. Advil®).
• Rest comfortably and wait for emergency medical services (EMS) (e.g., ambulance) to arrive.
