You need to sit the person down and make them comfortable and call 911 at once!

Heart attack: neck pain, chest pressure/pain, left sided pain or slight numbness, heart racing, or heart block (acut infarct) you need to make the person comfortable and relaxing Call 911 at once and keep patient calm (very important)
