🚨 If you think you're having a heart attack, your first instinct might be to get in the car and head to the hospital yourself.

But that decision could put you and others at risk. Calling 911 gets trained emergency responders to you quickly and allows treatment to begin before you even arrive at the hospital.

Learn why experts recommend calling 911 instead of driving yourself during a heart attack:

Learn how to spot the warning signs, protect your information and verify whether a message is really from your healthcare provider.
