Heart attack: Accuracy of diagnosing old heart attack in EKG is only 72%. Hence it is not 100% correct. In 30% of the diabetic patients heart attach is silent. They don't know that they had heart attack. You need further work-up to diagnose whether you had old heart attack or not. Consult your physician.

Not likely: Silent Mi is not uncommon and persistent pain would be unusual.
