Sounds like you had the stereotypical male reaction to heart attacks. We think its anything but what it is, or we deny it to ourselves and we delay seeking help. It's sometimes fatal!

Very glad you are NOT one of those statistics.

My dad had a massive heart attack when i was 15 (62 now) - before bypass surgery, before clot buster drugs, etc. so i always assumed I'd have cardiac issues. Even knowing that i delayed two years go when having severe chest pain, thinking it would pass. Turned out to be a gall bladder attack - was blocked, gangrenous, emergency surgery. But secretly i thought i was having a heart attack. BE MINDFUL YOU GUYS!
