You can follow these steps to provide first aid to a person having a heart attack:

• Make the person sit somewhere comfortable, call for medical help and tell them about the person’s situation. 
• Talk to the affected person and ask about how they are feeling.
• Ask the person about any allergies or previous medications they use, like for angina (chest pain), which may help the person at that time.
• If the person does not have any allergy to aspirin, then get an aspirin tablet and ask the affected person to chew it slowly. Aspirin will help in thinning the consistency of the blood, thus relieving some of the symptoms until medical help arrives.
• If at any point the affected person becomes unconscious and stops breathing, you may have to give CPR to them immediately.

Only a certified person should perform CPR, otherwise it can worsen the condition of the affected person. The steps involved in CPR are:

• Tilt the head slightly back and lift the chin to deliver rescue breaths. Put your mouth on the person’s mouth creating a seal and pinch the nose shut. Now blow into the person's mouth to deliver air, simultaneously checking if the chest rises. 
• If the chest fails to rise with the first rescue breath, re-tilt the head before delivering the second. Once you have delivered two rescue breaths, start giving chest compressions.
• To deliver chest compressions, place one of your hands on top of the other, interlock your fingers by folding the fingers of the hand on top. Place your hands in the middle of the chest and lock your elbows. Use the entire body weight to give compressions.
• Make sure that compressions are at least 5cm (2 inches) deep.
• You must deliver 100 compressions per minute.
• You need to continue performing cycles of chest compressions and breathing until the person wakes up or medical help arrives.
