Although the NHS states that it's never too early to call 999, the early symptoms can vary.

In England, heart attacks result in about 80,000 hospital hospitalizations annually, yet at least 70% of patients survive them. About 9 out of 10 (94%) of those who visit the hospital and obtain the necessary care are included in this percentage.

But one of the most well-known signs of a heart attack is tightness in the chest. It's possible to ignore additional symptoms like dyspnea, lightheadedness or dizziness, nausea, or a strong sense of unease.

In addition to other symptoms like nausea or dizziness, people who are having a heart attack frequently report feeling tight or constricted in the chest or sweating. Professor Nick Linker, a cardiologist and NHS England's National Clinical Director for Heart Disease, explains this. A sense of unease prevailed.
