Correction . . .

So I mentioned that I'd had 3 heart attacks. I was equating chest pain with mild heart attack.  In reality the chest pain was angina. I had 1 heart attack and LOTS of angina. Here's an explanation of 3 types of angina from WebMD.com:

• Stable angina. The pain is predictable and present only during exertion or extreme emotional distress, and it disappears with rest.
• Unstable angina. This may signal an impending heart attack. Unstable angina is angina pain that is different from your regular angina pain or pain that occurs while at rest. The angina may occur more frequently, more easily at rest, feel more severe, last longer, or come on with minimal activity. Although this type of angina can often be relieved with medication, it is unstable and may progress to a heart attack. Usually more intense medical treatment or a procedure is required.
• Prinzmetal's angina. This is when angina occurs at rest, when sleeping, or when exposed to cold temperatures. In these cases, the symptoms are caused by decreased blood flow to the heart muscle from a spasm of the coronary artery. The majority of people with this type of angina also have coronary artery disease. These spasms occur close to the blockage.

What I had was either unstable or Prinzmetal's and has not occurred since. So the pain I had was not a heart attack and the heart attack I had had no chest pain. Imagine my confusion! I'll be learning more next week when I go in for my first cardiologist appointment . . .
