Emergency Life Support
If you think that you are having a heart attack, call 999 immediately. It could save your life.
Your heart needs a constant supply of oxygen-containing blood to keep it healthy.
Calling an ambulance immediately means that you can get the treatment to restore the blood supply as soon as possible.
In some parts of the country, the paramedics (ambulance staff) may give you the treatment before you reach the hospital. The sooner you receive treatment, the less damage to your heart muscle and the greater your chances of survival.
The longer you wait to call for medical assistance, the greater the risk of permanent damage to the heart muscle and the greater the risk of dying.
There are many reasons why people delay calling - uncertainty about the symptoms, not wishing to make a fuss or refusing to believe that it could be happening to them.
Calling for an ambulance is vital if you think you are having a heart attack.
