Knowing the early signs of a heart attack

The North London Cardiac ODN Heart Attack Campaign runs throughout October.

This year the NHS North London Cardiac Network are raising awareness of heart attack symptoms to help save lives.

Heart attack symptoms and signs can vary from person to person, but can include squeezing across the chest and a feeling of unease.

Symptoms don’t always feel severe and some people may have other symptoms such as shortness of breath, feeling or being sick and back or jaw pain without any chest pain.

Anyone experiencing heart attack symptoms should call 999.

Recognising the possible signs of a heart attack and anything that may be unusual for you, is essential in being able to get help quickly.
