Many Singapore do not seek prompt medical attention for chest pains. This is despite knowing that chest pains are an early warning sign of a heart attack. About a fifth of Singaporeans would just lie down in bed and rest rather than seek proper medical help, according to an independent survey. This is a worrying observation as prompt medical attention can prevent heart disease and heart attack. The results of a survey of 400 people revealed that while 70 per cent of Singaporeans surveyed knew chest pains and breathlessness are warning signs of a heart attack, 21.8 per cent did not see the need to seek prompt medical attention.
