[quote name='Mark' date='May 24 2006, 04:46 PM']Sorry to hear about your college mate but good to hear you are doing OK. A few years past that 40 mark already and one thing I will pay attention to is the chest and left arm pains. I jsut hope I can differentiate from my normal pains and tinglings. <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/smile.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />

Mark that isn't easy to do sometimes, particularly if you have gastric pain or spinal problems. The one thing that sent me to the hospital the right time though I can describe. If you can remember when you were a kid and ran too far and your side would hurt until you got your breath, the sensation I felt was the same, but up high in my lung alsmost to my neck. I won't forget that feeling anytime soon.
