A colleague of mine felt pains in his chest, and was later admitted into ER unconscious. He's alert now and of course going through a lot of tests.
I think he is a year younger.
I think this is a curse of the older worker. Regardless of what our plans are, health issues begin to dominate, deteriorate and ultimately eliminate us from the work force.
Other than the curse of genetics, our lifestyles and bad habits also begin to take their toll.
@SECRET_ASIAN_MAN hopefully whatever is going on he has caught it early and can have a good recovery. As I get older the question of every ache and pain of what should be treated at the hospital becomes more important. But chest pains should always be taken seriously and checked out.

7 years ago I went in for a routine physical, and they did an EKG; then they put two nitro pills under my tongue, threw me in an ambulance, and sent me to the ER.
Got my chest cracked open & some plumbing done on my heart. It's all good, now, but it was real there for a bit.
Getting old ain't for wimps.
