And the moral of the story for my non-nursing readers out there is: chest pain + shortness of breath + nausea = heart attack until proven otherwise. So if you have these symptoms, don't be stupid.

Worth repeating 100 times. I had these symptoms at work a few years back (age 39), decided to go to the emergency room down the street. 10 minutes later I'm having an angioplasty. Better safe than sorry is what I say. :)

My dad's cousin died almost 3 years ago in his forties. He had a minor heart attack and didn't get treated. A week later a massive heart attack came along and killed him almost instantly.
