[QUOTE="PNWdude67, post: 2244567, member: 110615"] I do now. When I had the heart attack I “walked into the ER” as I was very close and new something was up. So, part of their protocol for a STEMI in process was to “chew up some baby aspirin” 4= 320 mg and nitro sublingual spray as needed along with the Heparin IV and other stuff we can’t really carry in the field. I have a nitro prescription filled now as a back up to have in the field. I don’t think it’s available over the counter. The Nitro really seemed to work immediately for me when I felt the pain which was coming on (feeling like a cramp in my heart). It would “relax” and I felt better. Most of us won’t go through what I did, but if you do, having some baby aspirin may buy you enough time to get EMR response and further treatment. Just something I feel we all can have handy just in case, as well as the other key stuff in our first aid kits. I thought about all the hunts, fishing and hiking I was doing without it handy over the past few years and this could have happened at any of those times where help was not available right away.
