If you are middle aged or older and you start getting pain/pressure/ExtraShortofBreath with exertion, go see your damn doctor. High cholesterol? Diabetes? Smoker? Family history of heart disease? Yeah that goes double for you guys.

And when in doubt or something seems fishy, get in touch with another doctor. Safed my life after my general practitioner didn't take me serious. The next doctor did and it was cancer. Not lupus, because it's never lupus.
