I hope that you're okay. I've witnessed a man having a heart attack and it is really terrible thing to see. You feel helpless in that moment...
Yeah, I basically watched my old man spend 11 years dying from a bad heart and lung cancer. Now, a surgeon can put in a couple of stints in day surgery. Even if you have some basic first aid training, you can only do so much, and just pray that EMS gets on site quickly.
Yes, Mr. Death... I'll play you a game! But not CHESS !!! BAH... FOOEY! My game is...

Here is an update:
Nov 20, 2015 massive "three way" heart attack, consisting of 98% blockage, ventricular fibrillation, and myocardial infarct resulting in 45% remaining viable heart tissue. Fast forward to Jan 29, 2017. Nuclear stress test reveals the two stents, and NO evidence of ischemia or infarct. In other words, heart is 100% healed. The doctors have no rational medical explanation. I attribute the following:

Great!
Gazzak, how is your heart doing? It seems like you had a heart attack also.
I got the all clear earlier this year, like Tekboy I got lucky and my heart is fully recovered. I have to take tablets to keep my blood pressure regular, heartbeat lower, to thin the blood and to keep cholesterol levels lower. I get regular blood tests now which show good things. My lifestyle is changed now so that my intake is much healthier and my exercise regime is a minimum of 30 minutes cardio per day, (did 70 minutes coming in to work on the bike this morning, will do the same getting home too). Obviously the stent and tablets are there for life, but the long term outlook is a normal life.
