Not sure if what I had was symtoms of a heart attack.
On friday 9/11/09 I was sitting on my couch web surfing and watching t.v. all of a sudden i started to feel tired and lightheaded. Well I thought ok let me put my laptop down and relax for a little but then I fot so dizzy it was as if I was on a fast merry go round ride. I got nausea and pain in my neck and just plain like I was dying. When the dizziness slowed down I went to lay down for a while but the room kept spinning. All of a sudden I got really hungry but still very nausea. I got a peice of bread as I tried to eat the bread I was shaking and feeling my lips and cheek numb and tingly and cold rushes on my face. I went back and layed down cause my head started to hurt really bad and fell asleep. Since then I feel lightheaded and headache and very tired. Also the following day all my musles on my left side of my body was so sore as if I was exercising. No cold sweets but I was very cold. I am still puzzled on what could have it been.

I find that I am a great deal older than most of the advisers on this site, so my advice will be somewhat different from what you have received and may continue to receive from others.
Those of us who answer questions on this Website are not Doctors and should not be giving medical advice nor should you be looking for medical advice on this type of website. The type of advice you are looking for should come from a Doctor.
What you have written about what happened to you last Friday evening tells me you need to see a Doctor as soon as possible. Do you need to go to a Hospital Emergency room or can you wait to see your family doctor? I would suggest you call your family doctor as soon as you receive this, even if it is after normal office hours. Let the doctor decide if you can wait for normal office hours. If you do not have a family doctor then I would suggest you go to the closest Emergency room or after hour’s clinic as soon as possible.
What you described is not normal and needs to be checked out. Nothing says the event was a life threatening event such as a heart attack or that it will happen again. Only a doctor can perform the necessary tests and evaluations to say what has happened to you and how serious it may be. So see a doctor ASAP.

You can never be too sure whether or not you're having a heart attack.
If at all you think you are, or something just isn't right, I would definitely contact your Doctor or send yourself to the ER.
If this really is a heart attack, I would not delay. I would totally contact someone if I were you ASAP.
