I've had two heart attacks (two days apart - call it the same event if you like - one occurred in CICU).
I didn't have chest discomfort. I had a pain between my shoulder blades in the center of my back. Sweats and then chills, tightness in the jaw?. Joints in my wrists ached also. Thought I had the flu. That was in 1988, I'm still here and typing away on GFY.
Was way to young to almost die of a heart attack. Was chain smoking, drinking hard, no exercise and my diet sucked. The typical life of many webmasters.
Think about it.
