2. If the person is not allergic to aspirin, they should chew and swallow a baby aspirin.
3. Using Nitroglycerin to improve blood flow if you were prescribed it by a doctor.
4. Start Cardiac Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) which should be used if someone experiences cardiac arrest.
5. Use a Automated External Defibrillator (AED) to help the heart return to its normal rhythm.
