If you think that you're having a heart attack, call 911 or your local emergency number right away.
If you can't get an ambulance or emergency vehicle to come to you, have someone drive you to the nearest hospital. Drive yourself only if you have no other way to get there.
Never ignore heart attack symptoms, even if they don't seem serious.
