Guide for use:

Acute coronary syndrome symptoms may include:

  • tightness, pressure, heaviness, fullness or squeezing in the chest which may spread to the neck and throat, jaw, shoulders, the back, upper abdomen, either or both arms and even into the wrist and hands
  • dyspnoea, nausea/vomiting, cold sweat or syncope.

Seeking medical attention could include the person presenting to their GP who then refers them to hospital or the person presenting directly to hospital (via ambulance or own form of transport).

If the person is already a patient at the hospital for another reason then the date would be when they advised hospital staff of their symptoms.
