John,
Good advice. As I have experienced a heart attack, I can attest that all heart attacks do NOT involve the "crushing" chest pain, NOR arm pain or chin/neck pain. My pain was just a strong indigestion feeling.
We were with good friends and had just set up at Top Sail Hill State park in Destin, Fl. when I had the strong indigestion. They gave me a couple of aspirin while my lovely wife went to the office and have them call 911. The state park staff were marvelous in assisting my wife and me.
When the EMTs arrived I informed them I had taken two aspirin. This was very important to them as they administered the 'nitro' to help ease my pain.
So, be alert that a heart attack pain can be in many different forms.
