HOW DO I KNOW IF I AM SUFFERING A HEART ATTACK?

If you experience these signs, you should:

STOP AND REST

Tell someone about our symptoms and, if you take angina medicine, you should take a dose

If your symptoms are severe, getting worse or have lasted more than 10 minutes you should call 0-0-0.
