About five years ago I too had a "heart attack" while out to dinner with my son. I walked into the local hospital and complained of a tightness in my chest and a weird feeling in my arm. They hooked me up, told me I was having a heart attack and sent me to a major hospital about 25 mi. away. They ran me through all the tests including an angiogram. Kept me there for three days. In the end, the cardiologist told me that my heart was stronger than normal, there was no blockage and my heart was getting all the blood it needed. So what's the problem? Well, it turns out to be something called a heart "spasm." No one seemed to know why that happens but everyone said I should go home and live my life. I maxed all the post-hospitalization tests. Now if I can just stop throwing myself on the ground.......
