I awoke in my sleep last night to a serious pain in my left side and under my left breast. It felt like someone punched me in the ribs. It hurt to move and try to get up. Was this a heart attack?

That symptom alone is not a heart attack. The pain extends from the front to the back. In addition breathing becomes difficult and painful. Then there is a tightness in the upper arm and even pain radiating down to the elbow. Finally there is light headedness and weakness in the legs. That is the big one. This is experience talking.

You would not forget it. Severe chest pain, sweating, pain radiating up or down your arm.
Since you are alive and not in a distress it was probably a muscle spasm I often get them. If you are over forty and haven't had a check up recently it is a good time to see a doctor and get advice.
There are mild heart attacks that won't kill you but every heart attack does damage. Don't take chances if you are in the risk category male, over forty, overweight, high blood pressure, eat a lot of junk fatty foods, have family history of heart disease.
