Semi-Quoting Aviation Today

"The affected pilot was the first officer. The first officer was reportedly experiencing chest pain, numbness in the arms and legs and a racing heart rate in the high 100s. The captain stopped the aircraft’s climb at about 7,000 feet before turning back toward MSP."

Note: These specific symptoms have not been publicly detailed by Delta and should therefore be attributed to the cockpit/ATC reporting.
