Don't delay!
A word of advice to all the men out there. Don't try and be tough when it comes to chest pain, even if you think it's indigestion. I work in a cardiac unit and a patient died on the table yesterday following a massive heart attack. It turns out he had been having chest pain for several weeks and assumed it to be reflux. He was 61. I know that witnessing death is part of my job, but watching someone die in front of your eyes is always a shock.
Obviously the same goes for women but I hear far more stories from men ignoring the signs of a heart attack.
