It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of angina, which is chest pain or discomfort caused by reduced blood flow to your heart muscle. It is important to seek medical attention immediately. In the meantime, you can take Aspirin 325mg to help reduce the risk of a heart attack. Please take one tablet and chew it for faster absorption. Remember to seek urgent medical help for further evaluation and treatment.
