Portrush farmer urges people not to ignore heart attack symptoms

A PORTRUSH farmer, who worked on through a heart attack and lived to tell the tale, has warned people not to ignore symptoms.
An iconic British Heart Foundation red bench is to be unveiled along the Causeway Coast, to recognise Robert Nevin’s story.
Robert had a heart attack in late February 2024 with no prior symptoms.
Having survived, the 60-year-old has now opened up on his ordeal, in the hope of helping others, especially those in farming, who could be in the same position as him.
Robert woke in the middle of the night with what he thought was indigestion, got up early the next day and worked for five hours on his farm, before driving himself to hospital.
Following tests, he was told he was having a heart attack.
