In this discussion, I share simple, practical steps older adults can take while waiting for emergency help — like calling 911 right away, adjusting body position, loosening tight clothes, using prescribed medications such as nitroglycerin or chewing an aspirin if safe, and noting symptom onset times for paramedics. I also encourage preparing ahead: keep a clear emergency plan, post vital medications and contacts by the phone, and talk with neighbors or loved ones.

You’ll hear real stories from older Americans who recognized the signs early and took action — and are now back to enjoying their favorite routines: morning walks, card games with friends, quiet evenings with family.
