• Having a heart attack is a traumatic experience.
So try to remain calm.
• Another recommended position is to lie flat on your back with your feet up above your heart, the Venus position.
• Once the person is comfortable, all tight fitting clothing should be loosened to avoid any restriction.
• It is important that the person does not walk around; lying or sitting in a relaxed position without pressure on the lungs is the best.
• If a person’s heart stops beating, it becomes necessary to start CPR, but it is important that a person administering CPR is trained correctly.
• If you do not know how to do CPR then doing heart compressions is the best option.
Thanks. Never thought about what position a person should be put in before help arrives.
