I'm really worried about what to do if someone has a heart attack before we can get them to the hospital. Is there a specific tablet that's recommended to take beforehand to help prevent any more damage to the heart?

I'm really worried about my father's condition. He's been dealing with coronary heart disease for about 4 years now and we've already tried various treatments and seen local doctors here in Pontianak, Indonesia. The problem is, he got really traumatized by the high doses or hard drugs prescribed to him, so now we're mainly relying on some herbal remedies like this red juice from Papua called Kuansu. It seems to help a bit, but not for long. A few doctors have mentioned that he might need a ring or bypass operation, but that's honestly really tough for us financially. I'm curious if there's any alternative treatment for coronary heart disease that you could suggest, especially considering our situation.
In cases where medication and herbal remedies have not provided sufficient improvement for coronary heart disease, and surgical options like stents or bypass surgery are not feasible due to economic constraints, another alternative treatment option to consider is medical therapy. Medications such as Atorvastatin (Lipitor) to lower cholesterol, Aspirin to reduce blood clotting, and Metoprolol to manage blood pressure and heart rate can be beneficial in managing coronary heart disease. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the most appropriate medication regimen and dosage for your father's specific condition.
