I'm not going to take sides and debate the comments here, but I think one thing should be cleared up ...
I've never had a heart attack myself (knock wood!), but I've had two friends who've had them.
You don't always know you're having one. The symptoms are confusing because they could be other things, like flu, primarily, or muscle strain. Or even heartburn (hence the name). The fact that she didn't pick up the phone and call 911 is actually very common. Most people (the percentage is high) don't call right away. That's what increases the chance for serious heart damage or death.
All "poetry" aside, I think that's her point. To raise awareness to get help quickly and not either live in denial or misinterpret the symptoms.
Of course, does that mean everyone who becomes nauseous with cold sweats and strained muscles should dial 911? That could be interesting.
