HEART ATTACK SYMPTOMS

*Pescatarian 🤣

What a horrible, insensitive thing to say

You are ignoring the people who say 111 will (eventually) send you to a and e so go now!

Like a PP said, your daughter not settling will be the least of your problems if you delay further.
Seriously - just go!

RING 111 now, if they think there is a need they will send a paramedic (heart attacks and strokes are high priority) and take the child with you, it and you will be looked after, if not urgent then maybe A&E, but you will have time to sort child care then. Strange at ti may seem they (NHS) can deal with all eventualities

Agree with others. Just cut out the middleman and go to A&E. Leave your child with someone.

Statistically it’s very unlikely to be a heart attack but why would you take chances.

Your heart is on your left side and heart attack symptoms present as the weight of an elephant sitting on your chest so much more likely to be gastric but best get checked in case it's gallbladder

I waited 12 hours to be seen with my heart attack last month. They were doing ECG and blood tests, but it was 12 hours before I saw a doctor.

Can’t your parents and partner watch your daughter together whilst you go to a&e

Time is of the essense with symptoms like that RING 111 now,

..forgot to say, the upset tummy can be connected to an excess of stomach acid, and the effect that that has on your whole digestive system (again, same happens to me)

The chances are it’s not, but, you are going to get more and more anxious (compounding things) until you know.

Acid Reflux can cause the original symptoms you mentioned, I get the same .. that burning sensation, travelling up. I too thought it was much more sinister when it first happens.

Palpitations, yep, get those too, and when i get them, I worry about them, which makes them worse. They are always worse when I am worried about something.

Neither of these have been heart attack signs for me, just unrelated incidents. As I say, you are not going to stop the worry until you know.

111 will just call an ambulance or tell you to get someone to give you a lift in surely, they cant assess whether you've had a heart attack on the phone. So you may aswell just go to the hospital now while it's still early. 111 cannot diagnose chest pain you need to be seen in person.

"I’m going to call 111 when I get home as ask there advice as if I turn up to my local walk in centre ill be waiting 12 plus hours to be seen. It’s a nightmare."

You won't be waiting 12 hours at a&e and 111 will just send you to a&e.

So go to bloody a&e. And good luck.

Go to A&E NOW

The chances are it is nothing and you will go home reassured.
They will do an ecg and give you blood tests. If it is a heart attack they will need to do tests to find out how bad it is and give you appropriate treatment. Its not unusual for a milder heart attack to be followed a number of days with a more major heart attack. That is why it is so important to get treatment. It can literally save your life.

Actually I agree with others with those symptoms you're better off at a&e.

I hope it isn't serious. I can understand how scared you feel I've had times when I thought I was a goner. Good luck with 111.

You won’t be sitting in A&E with symptoms
of a heart attack.

Even if you are left waiting, if you have another attack of whatever it was, isn’t it best that it happens in a hospital?

Why are you risking everything by putting off an A&E trip?? I cannot understand posters like you, asking for help and then ignoring what the majority are telling you.

OP also Google ‘silent heart attacks’ and the consequences of delaying action. Not to scare you. Just to ensure you are making an informed decision.

Signs and symptoms of a heart attack in women
Heart attack symptoms can vary from person to person but the most common signs of a heart attack are:

• chest pain or discomfort in your chest that comes on suddenly and doesn't go away. It may feel like pressure, tightness or squeezing. The pain or discomfort may spread to one or both of your arms, or may spread to your neck, jaw, back or stomach
• shortness of breath or difficulty breathing with or without chest discomfort
• feeling dizzy, light-headed or faint
• feeling sick, indigestion, being sick
• sweating or a cold sweat
• a sudden feeling of anxiety that can feel like a panic attack
• a lot of coughing or wheezing.

111 will send you to a and e. Just go to a and e. I know this because we called about something similar recently. Sent to a and e after waiting for 111 for ages.

Too scared in case they admit you? If this is a heart attack happening lovely then your daughter will be without a mother forever if God forbid things turns worse. Please please think of your child and family and go get checked out. She'll manage for a night or two without you while you recover.

Just go straight there, 111 will take hours to call back then send an ambulance. Quicker to just go straight to a&e yourself
