Your grandfather passes away and your grandmother begins complaining of chest pain. Don't panic. Some people, especially women age 50 or older, get symptoms similar to a heart attack after hearing bad news. It's known as broken heart syndrome. While people who have broken heart syndrome usually recover on their own, play it safe. If a loved one complains of chest pain after a traumatic event, encourage him or her to seek medical care.
