I'm sorry to hear about your friend.
The pain thing can be deceptive. I had a heart attack myself very nearly a year ago and afterwards friends and family would ask me about the pain which I was happy to tell them was uncomfortable rather than sheer agony. Only later, when recalling my first discussions with the staff at A+E (ER) did I remember a doctor asking me to rate the pain on a scale of one-to-ten. Eight or nine was what I told them. Morphine is a wonderful thing!
