Cardiology Team,
Chest pain that feels like pressure or tightness, spreads to the arm, jaw or back, or comes with sweating, breathlessness or nausea needs emergency care immediately.
Do not wait if
- The pain lasts more than a few minutes
- You feel faint or very short of breath
- You have diabetes, high BP or a family history of heart disease
Every minute matters in a heart attack. Call the emergency number or 108 and avoid driving yourself.
