Thanks once again everyone. I'm feeling quite good today and although I am taking it pretty easy I can tell I am well on the way to recovery.

I have been getting regular checkups as I have a family history of heart problems. The last I had was a year ago followed by an ecodopler and an ecocardigram in late January this year and got the all clear. In fact when I was brought into emergency they couldn't see any problem on the ECG but it showed up, and how, on the ecocardigram and I was listed for emergency angioplasty etc.

My title of this thread, by the way, I intended to say it was not my day to shuffle off this mortal coil. It was however probably my lucky day in that I was able to get treatment in time to avoid more serious problems.

As I said: chest ache, shoulder pain, shortness of breath. Get yourself to a hospital. If it turns out to be indigestion so much the better but with symptoms like that it is more likely to be something more serious. If it ever happens to me again I won't hesitate.

Just a little aside worth knowing.

In Italy we can have an ap on our smartphones, "Where Are U", that can be used to call emergency services and gives actual GPS location. In the UK I see Google, without using a specific ap, gives the same service for 999 calls from Android devices.
