I woke up last night at 1.40am with chest pain

Never had that sort of pain before.
I did wonder if it was something to do with my heart.
As I lay there thinking about what to do, my thoughts went to the parlous state of our hospitals these days.
If I was to ring an ambulance there was a very high chance that I would end up waiting outside the hospital, still in the ambulance - called ramping.
When finally taken into the hospital there was a high possibility I would end up waiting in the corridor.
So I decided to not worry about it and if I was to die then I would not know I was dead anyway.

I think a suspected heart attack might get immediate treatment

@TheSirfurryanimalWales It does make one wonder though.
How does one recognise a heart attack? 1.30am, such a hassle, let it go and go back to sleep. All is good if I awaken in the morning. If I do not wake up, I will never know
Don't let that stop you. That's laziness.

@Spoiledbrat Not what I would call laziness. Honestly...it does not matter to me if I die tomorrow or in 20 years time.
It should. @Gusman

My children's uncle tried to drive himself to hospital when in a similar situation and no ambulances were available (Western Syd)

It was a heart attack

Glad you're ok

You should have gone to emergency when it comes to the heart they would have seen you
