"It is important to understand that warning signs can vary from person to person and they may not always be sudden or severe.

Although chest pain or discomfort is the most common symptom of a heart attack, some people will not experience chest pain at all, while others will experience only mild chest pain or discomfort. Others may experience one symptom, while some experience a combination.

The one thing all heart attacks have in common is that the sooner you receive treatment, the less damage will be done."

If you experience the warning signs of a heart attack for 10 minutes, if they are severe or get progressively worse,  call Triple Zero (000) immediately - or 911 or whatever the emergency telephone number is where you live - and ask for an ambulance.

And some people like diabetics may not experience any warning signs at all!

Heart Foundation of Australia 'Recognize Your Heart Attack' Campaign - February, 2010

In February, 2010 I was invited by the Heart Foundation of Australia to participate in the launching of their 'Recognize Your Heart Attack' Campaign here on the Gold Coast. The launch and interview took place on the ambulance ramp to the hospital and was covered by the local newspaper and TV station.

It was indeed a privilege and honour to be asked to address those in attendance and to participate in the launch of this important campaign by the Heart Foundation. It was also a very emotional moment for me.
