3 WAYS TO... Spot a heart attack
1 DISCOMFORT IN YOUR CHEST
It happens suddenly and doesn't go away, and can spread to either arm or your neck, jaw, back or stomach. Other signs include tightness, heaviness or a burning indigestionlike pain.
2 FEELING SICK
Being sweaty, lightheaded or short of breath are other possible symptoms. Signs can vary, but if you suspect a heart attack, always dial 999 for immediate help.
3 COUGHING/WHEEZING
This can be caused by a buildup of fluid in the lungs. Other symptoms include a sudden feeling of anxiety, similar to a panic attack.
