Melissa Gardiner suffered a heart attack and didn't even know it. This is her warning to other Australians.
Melissa Gardiner unknowingly experienced a heart attack after feeling a tingling sensation in her palm.
The study, surveying 101,936 Australians between 2010 and 2020, was aimed at monitoring whether people could identify symptoms following the National Heart Foundation's three-year campaign in 2010 aimed at educating people about the warning signs of heart attacks.The results showed that fewer people were aware of chest pain being a heart attack symptom: awareness fell from 80 per cent in 2010 to 57 per cent in 2020.
"When they're having a heart attack, people also tend to call others so it's important that people know the symptoms just in case they get a call from a loved one saying, 'I'm experiencing these symptoms, what do you think I should do?'"Every year 56,700 Australians suffer from a heart attack or angina, which is another type of chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart.
The 2010 campaign cost $16 million, a project that Professor Bray conceded was out of reach for non-government organisations. It is a joint effort with the Heart Foundation, Ambulance Victoria and the Victorian Government Department of Health.

Labor making Australians ‘poor’ through bad renewable investmentsNationals MP Barnaby Joyce says the government has made their “own people poor” by continuing to fund renewables that drive up electricity prices. Mr Joyce said Snowy Hydro 2.0 will now end up costing “$20 billion” after he was told it would cost just $2- 4 billion. “There’s only person who’s going to pay for that, and that is…you,” he told Sky News host Andrew Bolt. “$20 thousand million could have refurbished every coal fired power station in Australia to high intensity low emission…coal-fired power stations, belting massive supplies of power onto our grid – forcing down the price of power.”

Australians ‘didn’t even blink’ at the idea of nuclear subs: Barnaby JoyceThe Australian people did an “incredible job” to “get onboard” with nuclear submarines for the country as they “didn’t even blink” at the idea, says Nationals MP Barnaby Joyce.
