Sometimes it's hard to tell if it is heart or lung or muscles or joints, etc. Even my doctors aren't always sure. Does the pain get worse with exertion? Can you touch a spot on your chest and cause the pain? Does it radiate to another place? After all the other pain, I was getting pain across my breast bone and the doctor told me it was inflammation of the cartilege in that area. Stress can do a lot of things. Stress is at the root of my heart condition.

Prior to my first heart attack, I had symptoms but the tests showed that I had a healthy heart. It wasn't until they did an angiogram (angioplasty) that they were able to see the heart's arteries in real time. Insist on it. I had to insist the second time.
