Texas gal Joanie Simpson suffers from "broken heart syndrome" after her dog Meha died. Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy. Do you think you have it?

She thought she was having a heart attack after she awoke experiencing chest and back pain. Her docs checked her out and her heart was clinically fine but "broken" emotionally. So now we have a scientific name to put on the terrible heartache losing a beloved pet causes. I hope you haven't experienced it but if you have then you have my condolences.
