Symptoms of a heart attack
Possible symptoms of a heart attack include the
following:
1. Pain that appears to spread up to the neck or
down to the left arm
2. Breathlessness
3. Sweating
4. Feeling faint and/or nausea
Dos and don'ts in the event of a heart attack:
Dos
1. Call local ambulance number.
2. Paramedics are trained to stabilise the patient’s condition with medication, and the
ambulance is equipped with a defibrillator to resuscitate the patient should the heart
stop en route.
3. Give clear instructions to the paramedics on finding the patient’s home, have
someone wait at a visible location to guide the paramedics and hold the lift open if the
patient lives in a high-rise building, so as to save time.
4. Get ready the patient’s personal effects such as personal identification, medical
benefit identification, insurance and other documents for admission.
5. Have the patient seated in a location where he can be transferred easily to a
stretcher.
6. Give a clear account of what happened
7. Let the paramedics know about any drug allergies or past medical history
Don’ts
● Drive or take public transport to the hospital, even if the patient lives nearby. As the
patient’s condition may deteriorate en route, it is safer to wait for an ambulance. Also,
ambulances also get priority on arriving at A&E.
● Ignore the pain. Get anxious about time wasted when the paramedics perform an on-
site ECG.
