Heart attacks can manifest with various warning signs, including:

• Chest discomfort: Feeling of pressure, tightness, or pain in the chest that may come and go.

• Pain or discomfort in other areas: Discomfort in the arms, back, neck, jaw, or stomach.
• Cold sweat, nausea, or lightheadedness: Feeling unusually sweaty, dizzy, or nauseous without apparent cause.

What to Do in a Heart Attack Situation:

1. Call Emergency Services: Dial local emergency services (such as 911 in many countries) immediately.
2. Administer CPR if Trained: If the person is unresponsive and not breathing normally, start CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) if you are trained in it.
3. Use an AED (Automated External Defibrillator): If available, use an AED as soon as possible, following its instructions.
4. Stay Calm and Reassure: Keep the person calm and reassure them until medical professionals arrive.

The incident at Delhi Airport underscores the crucial role of quick-thinking and skilled medical intervention in saving lives during emergencies. The unidentified lady doctor’s prompt response and effective revival of the gentleman exemplify the dedication and capability of healthcare professionals in India.
