A heart attack is when the blood cannot get to your heart. This hurts the heart muscle. It is very serious. You must get help fast.
Signs of a Heart Attack:
- Pain or pressure in your chest
- Pain in arm, neck, jaw, or back
- Feeling sick or sweaty
- Trouble breathing
- Feeling dizzy or weak
Call 999 right away if you or someone else has these signs.
Why It Happens:
A blood clot blocks the blood to the heart
The heart’s blood pipes (arteries) can get narrow from fatty build-up
What To Do
- Call 999 now
- Sit down and keep calm
- If you can, chew 1 aspirin (unless a doctor has told you not to)
