I think that's heart attacks, probably because those would be the veins first affected by the sudden loss of blood flow if there were a blockage.
Whereas a stroke is in the brain, and the pain would be whatever signals got sent down the nervous system, and depending on which side of the brain is affected would determine where the symptoms would manifest themselves in the body.
Or so I thought I heard on House or ER or whatever. Maybe Elvis or Sarge will be along shortly with a more qualified medical opinion.
Hope your mom gets well soon Kwame. It was about this time last year my mom had her own middle of the night trip to the hospital. Symptoms resembled a heart attack, but they never did find anything physically wrong with her.
