A member asked:
I know that the heart is on the left side, but how come my right arm hurt when i had a heart attack?

Possible: Not everyone reads the books. Atypical presentations aren't unusual for chest pain and heart attacks. I have seen them with only nausea, or generalized weakness. There are many factors involved.
