Well, if that helps someone
The big issues I think was the tightness in the jaw and pain in the center of the upper back.
Other symptoms include chest pain (obvious)
If your left arm falls asleep and feels like 100 lbs, that could also be a sign.
One problem is you can't go off to the ER for every ache and pain... So it's a little freaky. I go by the three sympton rule. Three symptoms and I'm off to the ER or on the phone to the Doctor's office. OR one major symptom, like sharp pain the chest.
Had a couple of false alarms at the ER. Think most do that after they've had a heart attack.
