A coworker recently suffered a heart attack. His doctor told him he had already had a heart attack sometime earlier but was unaware of it. Is that possible?

Joe says:
Yes. More than a quarter of all heart attacks go unrecognized. In other words, they occur without severe chest pain and other ominous symptoms. Oftentimes (and more frequently among women than men), mild chest discomfort may be denied or simply considered "heartburn."
