Glad you listened and went in to be checked out. Many folks don't and the outcomes can be severe.
Follow the rehab recommendations. Live long and prosper.

If my body could talk it would for certain be cussing me out for the abuse, I put it through. Many people hear voices in the head. The voice I hear from my brain are speaking in Spanish of all things. I don't speak Spanish.
I had something very similar happen last year. Up half the night with chest tightness that felt like heartburn but did not respond to antacid. Next morning get tunnel vision while taking my shower. Decided to go ahead and call a ambulance. Dispatcher tells me to chew up 3 of the low dose aspirin I have around. Two nice young ladies show up and hook me up. Yup, you are having a 'cardiac event' says one. Load me into the ambulance, push some blood thinner in through the IV and off we go. They wheel me straight into the cath lab on arrival and less than a hour after I called 911 I have a stent installed into the lower anterior descending artery, which is the one they call the widowmaker. Does not look like any permanent damage and I will find out next month when I get a nuclear stress test done how things are going. All other tests they have run look like no other blockages.
Yes, I do know how lucky I was. I personally believe if I had not retired a few months before the attack I would have died. So, as Heymatt said, listen to your body.
Pic from the day after the stent was installed. I went with the toga look because it turned out I was flashing the staff when I took my first walk.
