To Those Who Have Ever Worried I Was Having A Heart Attack

Great news! Remember those times when we thought I was going to drop dead from a heart attack because of the sharp stabbed-with-a-knife-like* pain I felt “in” my heart? Well, a co-worker–who suffers from the same pain–told me it is precordial catch syndrome (pdf), which is semi-common and nothing to get super-worried about.

So when this happens in the future, don’t sweat it and just stand by and help if I’m holding anything; I’ll be okay!

Not surprisingly, those hacks society calls “doctors” don’t know why it happens. WebMD–that it’s-gotta-be-cancer diagnosis center–doesn’t even have an entry on it.

*How do I know?

I got Stabbed 14 times, I can tell you it weren’t by gangsters
My uncle got stabbed like twice and he died, I tell you he’s one of them gangsters.
