A woman from Solihull has shared how suffering a heart attack in her 20s has shaped her life.

Neena Chauhan had experienced chest pains for weeks but had not sought emergency treatment until she felt a 'crushing' pain in her chest.

She was rushed to Queen Elizabeth Hospital by ambulance from her family home after her mum and siblings witnessed her writhing in agony and sweating profusely during the heart attack in 2013.
