“The reason I’m happy to share my story is because often heart attacks don’t show like they do on TV where people collapse. A new survey recently published by NHS England has revealed a lack of confidence among the public in recognising the symptoms of a heart attack. While the most common symptom is chest pain, symptoms can vary from person to person. Other symptoms can include a feeling of pain; pressure, heaviness, tightness or squeezing across your chest, pain in other parts of the body – such as in the arms , jaw, neck, back and tummy; feeling lightheaded or dizzy; sweating; shortness of breath; feeling sick or being sick ; an overwhelming feeling of anxiety and coughing or wheezing.

If I can help and support people with the help they need, then I feel like it’s worthwhile.”
