I've just heard that my ex had a heart attack last week. Pretty much the same circumstances as above. Woke up with chest pains, was sick, NHS direct was called and they in turn called an ambulance. He got to hospital and had a full blown heart attack.

He smokes, drinks, eats badly, doesn't exercise, takes recreational drugs, works long, stressful shifts and is adopted so doesn't know if there is a history of this kind of thing in his biological family.

He's also 27.

I just can't help thinking that if he hadn't been visiting his parents at that time, he'd have ignored the symptoms, stayed in bed and had his heart attack at home where he would have died.

Gotta stop thinking about this.
