Chest pains and shortness of breath are common signs of a heart attack which shouldn't be taken lightly, regardless of a person's age.

PETALING JAYA: Heart disease is the main culprit in cutting short the lives of Malaysians - it’s the number one cause of premature deaths in the country.

Premature deaths are lives that are lost between the ages of 30 and 69, below Malaysia's average life expectancy of around 75.
