What should I do if my boss has a heart attack while I'm working with him?!


Question: What should I do if my boss has a heart attack while I'm working with him!?
An older family friend who I do a lot of work for is starting to scare me!. I have no doubt that he is going to have a heart attack sometime soon!. His sister died of heart failure at 49, his brother at 54, and his dad at 55ish!. He is 65, and has multiple medical issues!. He takes tons of medications, and has blood pressure issues!. I've noticed a lot of nitroglycerine around the house also, so I know he knows that it is coming too!. When we work together, he often gets dizzy, and looks as though he is going to pass out!.

In the likely event that he does have a heart attack while I am working with him, what exactly should I do!? When do I use the nitroglycerine, and what should be done while I wait for an ambulance to arrive!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
While you are waiting for 911 have him sit down!. Give him an aspirin with some water!. Put a nitro under his tongue!. After 15 minutes if the pain is not gone and if he is not light headed repeat the nitro and do it again for a total of not more than 3!. By this time help should be available!. Get on the web and review the routine for chest compression CPR just in case he should pass out!. If you are in doubt about anything just sit by his side and wait for 911 to come!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
