Early yesterday evening I start feeling unwell. At first I put it down to severe indigestion but as the evening progressed the pain spread higher into my chest and to my back. The pain was the worse I every experienced, even more than the pain I had recovering from heart surgery!
Fortunately my brother was over for the weekend and we called for an ambulance. The paramedic arrived promptly and wired me up to check my heart. Nothing obvious, no indication of a heart attack but the ambulance arrived and because of my heart history whisked me and brother off to A&E. The pain was still really, really bad, the morphine they gave me didn't seem to help.
In A&E they took another couple of ECGs, took blood, put a cannula in and then finally, after checking everything, gave me painkillers. Slowly the pain receded.
My brother came in and they moved me out of resus to a cubicle to recover. A few hours later (about 3am) the blood results came back; the pain had receded to a feeling of soreness around my upper abdomen so they said I could go home.
So it turned out to be a seriously bad case of indigestion redface:
However the blood test did show up possible problems with my liver eeek: so they are going to refer me for further tests.

Sorry to hear of the distress Uncle, but if they have made an early discovery of a liver problem, it might have been worth it.
