Phew what a day yesterday was , just for those worried i wasnt sat here posting , i was waiting for the emergency doctor ! Anyway to cut a long story short after all the checks, they are quite happy with me , but cant say for sure if it was a small heart attack or STRESS related ..(no prizes for guessing which i think it might be!) Just to be on the safe side i have got a GTM spray now for if it happens again .So thanks guys , but you aint getting rid of me so easily !!  to everyone !!!! |

Just going to take it easy for the next few days and chill and order a takeaway tonight , yay no cooking ! Got a couple of good books and could just do with a nice cold beer  guess i might have to pass on that one ! But im buggered if im doing any housework or stuff like that for a few days ! |

that's a relief! those events can be pretty scary.
when i was in the hospital last year, one night i tried to roll over and a sudden, excruciating pain ripped through my chest. it felt like a heart attack or something, i couldn't move or breathe in without terrible pain. i called the night-nurse and they brought in a machine, an ECG I think, to check my heart, they checked my lungs too, but couldn't find a thing wrong. after a time, the pain subsided and I could relax and breathe. they still don't know what the cause was.

Phew you scared us all. I've just posted an emergency call to your first thread. I didn't realise you had posted to let us know you are OK on a new thread. I think we kept looking for a reply from your on your first thread and when that didn't come we all got a bit worried. Anyway the main thing is that your OK. |

Hi Kick Start, So glad to hear you are okay. 3 months ago I had a heart attack. Didn't realize it until I went to the ER. I didn't have shortness of breath or severe chest pain. It felt more like severe heartburn, but when it traveled down my arm I said to my boyfriend I think I need to go to the hospital. He was mad because the Red Sox were on and made me get the game on in the car on the radio.  He didn't realize I was having a heart attack either. So, after waiting 20 minutes to register with the triage nurse, they finally brang me in and did an EKG which showed I was having an accute heart attack. They sent me to a major hospital downtown to have an angioplasty right away. 4 days later I was back to my old self. I'm so glad you're doing better! Take it easy girl! Chris |
