On Friday evening, I was with my RN Mom, leaving a store. I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my chest that lasted about 1 1/2 min. followed by pain within my rib cage and radiating to my upper back. Breathing normal. Arriving home in approximately 5 minutes, I laid down and counted pulse rate. Mom retrieved stethoscope and confirmed that my heart rate was at 40bpm. I began feeling better within 20 minutes. After 2 hours sleep I felt okay. I had an apple and cheese 4 lunch w/ 2 Rockstar drinks. (240mg caffeine)
What happened? What is this about?
