I have a family history of CAD and I am hi stress with high cholesterol. Played Basketball for 1st time in year and had sever breathing problems for 45 mins after game with chest pains. Then had tingling down both arms. After an hour I was back to normal. Do you think this was a heart attack? Dad died at 49.
