A Nova Scotia man is thanking a digital watch for saving his life. Travis Chalmers, of Elmsdale, N.S., said he was outside playing road hockey with his son when he suddenly experienced a "warm sensation" in his chest area and a splitting headache. "I just thought it was a flu or cold coming on and my seasonal allergies had been kicking in. I thought it was flu-like symptoms and shrugged it off," he said.

It Was Stranger Than It Seemed. - The New York Times Posted: 12 Dec 2019 11:25 AM PST It was chest pain that brought the 34-year-old woman to the emergency room at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx. She'd been coughing for days, but that morning the pain was so bad she was worried that it had turned into pneumonia. She tried to tough it out, but when it was no better by the end of the day, she decided to go to the E.R. It took a few hours, but finally the physician assistant caring for her in the E.R. brought some good news. She didn't have pneumonia; she didn't have a clot in her lungs. This was just muscle strain from coughing. The year before, she was told she had asthma. She was given inhalers to stop the coughing and wheezing, but they didn't seem to do much. So she didn'...
