I just called 911 on somebody and he got took in an ambulance. He was having chest pains, numbness in his limbs , dizziness , sweating, clamminess, and vomiting. Also, he had a headache and difficulty breathing. I was afraid he was having a heart-attack. Was I right ? (I acted as soon as possible to get him help). Please no crazy answers. Thanx.
