General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

If you have experienced heart attack, I believe you have Nitroglycerine with you. Take one under your tongue and monitor your blood pressure.

If no improvement, take paracetamol or ibuprofen. If still no improvement within 20 minutes, should go to ER.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Albana Sejdini,
