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.

Sad times

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
