Farm work for hours before heart attack prompts health vigilance
A 60-year-old Portrush farmer, Robert Nevin, woke with chest pain, continued working on his farm for five hours, and then drove himself to hospital where he was treated for a heart attack, received a stent, and later completed cardiac rehab; he has since adjusted his routine (including selling milking cows) to reduce risk and urges others not to ignore warning signs, while stressing the importance of monitoring blood pressure and cholesterol.
