Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The best drug you can keep with you is asprin which you can take regularly too in low dose. Another drug you should keep with you is any sublingual nitrate which will help you in pain and acute myocardial infarction.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
