Heart attack symptoms and signs can vary from person to person, but the most common include pain or squeezing across the chest and a feeling of unease. You might be surprised to hear symptoms don’t always feel severe – some people may have other symptoms such as shortness of breath, feeling or being sick and back or jaw pain without any chest pain. If you think you or somebody you’re with is having a heart attack, don’t be tempted to dismiss the signs or wait to see what happens. The faster you act, the better their chances. It’s never too early to call 999 and check. Visit nhs.uk/heartattack for more information.
