In this video, we explain what the symptoms of a heart attack are.

The signs of a heart attack can vary; the most common symptoms include chest pain, which may feel like pressure, tightness or squeezing across the chest, pain in other parts of the body such as arm, a feeling of unease and a sense that something just isn’t right.

It can be easy to dismiss the signs of a heart attack as the symptoms don’t always feel severe. It’s never too early to call 999 and describe your symptoms.
