What Is The Pain In My Knees?

Hello: My name is Joan. I was in a store today and was clutched over almost on my knees in pain while attempting to order a sandwich. I leaned on the counter and asked the teller to wait a minute while still clutching at my chest and thinking of what to do. At first I was going to run to the pharmacy section and again doubled down to my knees, and again, not realizing, or maybe realizing that I may be having a heart attack, I looked at my purse and was attempting to reach into it to get some Tums that I always have in the purse. I reached in and said to myself, ah, here it is and began chewing it. All the while the young lady was asking me in between my gasps , what would you like on your sandwich ?. I was out of breath and responded more shockingly but definitively, so that I could get out of the store and back to the car. I could not believe, of all the people in the store, noone, not one person asked are you ok , or do you need some help . I left the store and called my physician. I also called the store to get a copy of the video to show my physician of my reaction while in the store, just to validate what was happening to me. Things just never happen to me while I have a captured audience. Is that strange or am I hypochondriac!
