Angina
This is the narrowing of an
artery
that can be brought on by
exertion
but is usually relieved by
rest. People with a history of
angina
usually carry a spray (Glyceryl
Trinitrate) that they spray
under
their tongue to relieve the
attack.
Treatment:
Get the casualty to rest in a
comfortable position and reassure
them. If they have any
medication
help them to take it. If the
pain
persists call an ambulance, and
suspect a heart attack.
