Carolyn Hennecy had a suspicion about what was happening to her when she started having shortness of breath and tension in her left arm and jaw.

She was working as a legal assistant at a busy law firm in Lakeland, Florida, and had witnessed her boss experience the same symptoms shortly before he had a heart attack one year earlier.

Hennecy thought her heart might be in trouble, too, but she didn't rush to her doctor's office or schedule an appointment with a cardiologist to address her own symptoms.
