Choose an answer to check yourself.

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Stop the vehicle immediately and activate the hazard warning lights.

Explanation

Severe pressing chest pain with difficulty breathing may signal a serious heart problem, and the driver could lose control at any moment. So the vehicle must be stopped at once and the hazard warning lights (the "emergency alarm") switched on to warn others of the danger, rather than driving on to a hospital, giving tablets or suggesting a walk (Rules, point 22).
