Only speaking for myself (other people have different symptoms), thre was some chest pain in my upper left chest, but it was mostly in my arm and shoulder blades and jaw.
It wasn't like on TV... guy clutching his arm and thrashing around... it was more like "damn, that hurts! Why does my arm hurt? Hmm, now my jaw... why am I in a sweat... goddamn, I better get to the ER..."
I was actually pretty calm. Drove there, parked carefully, walked up to the ER... as soon as I said "pain in my chest, left arm, jaw..." all the bureaucracy stopped and the medical stuff happened. Took about 5 minutes to be shaved for electrodes, aspirin given, ECG and bloods taken.
30 minutes later was admitted and was talking to the cardiologist about risk factors of angiograms...
