Just persistent chest pains combined with a terrible pain in my jaw.

I would have never taken it seriously until I checked my blood pressure. I thought it was a panic attack, as my brother had died the previous day. But luckily the VA provided me with a fancy blood pressure monitor so I checked it just in case.

I am a disabled Vet. my health care is free.

Honestly I had no idea what was happening. I was overwhelmed by a VERY bad feeling but couldn't put my finger on it. Luckily I have a blood pressure cuff and thought to take my blood pressure and the numbers were off the charts, 200/130ish .... seeing that I immediately went to the ER.

PETA pays for it.
