Medical doctors at the Pacific International Hospital say it would have been a different story if Lagot had ignored the numbness in both arms.
Lagot was lifting heavy equipment when he experienced his first ever signs of heart attack.
"That's how it (heart attack) happens," Dr Suresh Venkita, cardiologist and medical director, PIH, explained on Wednesday.
Lagot said the feeling of numbness in both arms was present for a long while so without hesitation, he went to the hospital that same night.
“I thought it was a normal chest pain,” he recalls.
