What should I eat when?

First, I was almost asleep when a great pain came in the center of my chest that radiated outward in all directions from the center, but did not reach my shoulders, and it made me scream.  I got up and went and told my mother that I had just had a heart attack.  She hadn't heard me scream and she said that I didn't have a heart attack.  Maybe I had indigestion.  

I said I was going to make some hot tea, but then when the water was boiling I made hot farina, also, and ate it.  The rest of the night, I started to get pains in the back of my head, then on the sides, each time I had  to yell or scream and run away from the place where I was.  First, I was trying to sleep on the couch, then I was trying to sleep on another couch, then my loveseat, then I was trying to sleep on the bed.  Finally, I sat up for at least an hour in a chair with the light on, until it was very late at night, with my legs hanging over the armrest.  The weather was rainy, but the lightening and thunder had stopped, at least outside.  I thought I saw lightening near my bed and the loveseat, which is why I didn't want to rest on the bed or the loveseat any more.  I had the wiindows partly opened, because it was 80 degrees to start, but it got down to 79 degrees by the time I started sitting up in the chair.  Finally, the elecricity from the lamp seemed to be radiating toward me, and it was late at night, so I got a flashlight, so I sat there with the flashlight on until the flashlight started to go out.  So then I turned on the lamp and tried sleeping on my bed, but then I got a big pain in my left ankle, which made me get up out of the bed and I almost went downstairs to the family room and the kitchen where I had left the industrial personal computer, but I decided to sit in the chair again for awhile.  Finally, it got to be light outside, so I went to sleep in my bed, and didn't have any more pain until my mom yelled at me to get up.  I don't know what pain I had then, but my ankle hurt later, when I was walking in from the garage it got weak and buckled a little.  I told my mom I had had a pain in my ankle last night, and she just said as you get older you get more and more pains.  I want to go to the doctor I went to in New York City a few years ago, because he told me I needed vitamin B6, and no other B vitamins, because my arm was getting numb, but I haven't called him to make an appointment yet, because my mom didn't give me any of my money and she might not give me the car to get to the train station if I have an appointment set, so I'm waiting until she decides to give me enough of my money so I could pay the bill and perhaps if she starts letting me use the car again without bringing her with me, because she doesn't want to go to New York City.  I also have a therapist in New York City who wants to see me, and she says my boyfriend is still around.  So, was eating hot farina and hot tea the right thing for me to eat when I got an intense pain radiation out from the center of my chest?

The right thing to do when you get the intense pain you describe is to go to the hospital.
