Also just seen this, glad they caught it and hope everything moves in the best possible direction. Keep us up to speed with the recovery.
GWS. I've never heard of those type of symptoms before in regards to a heart attack. You were lucky indeed.
I've now heard them a few times over the last few weeks, it makes me wonder quite what they are going to find when I get my MRI date as it's something I've been suffering from on and off for the last 18 months or so, but has never been suggested as being heart related. I'd presumed it was trapped wind/indigestion and so have done nothing beyond gritting teeth and living with it, but there are suggestions my 'gritting teeth and living with it' threshold is quite high (I once crashed my motorbike heading to a long distance event, crushing my foot under the bike. My wife is positive I broke something in it, I kept the boot strapped on, fixed the bent bits of the bike and completed the 20 hour event. Then had to stay at a friends for a day because I couldn't get the boot back on when I'd finally removed it). When this hits I get pain for around 90 minutes, have no position I can be in that isn't excruciatingly painful and can barely walk. I have told people it's fortunate I don't own a gun... I lose all temperature control and go from cold sweats to unbearably hot. Often there's vomiting too. I've had my digestive system and throat looked at a lot (Barium Swallow, 24 hour PH test, Gastroscopy) none of which has shown any obvious problems, and am on Ranitidine and Omeprazole for it, neither of which are stopping the attacks which are roughly 6 weeks apart. Having mentioned occasional tightening of the chest and a bit of pain I was sent to Cardiology, as mentioned elsewhere I'm now also on Bisoprolol and thanks to an atypical Echocardiogram am awaiting the MRI mentioned above. The doctor is looking for signs of a previous heart attack, and mentioned while the ECG came up fine he didn't feel he was getting the figures he should for someone at my level of activity (healthy-ish but could do better).
While I'm still sceptical of jumping to conclusions from reading the 'net I am starting to wonder now.
