how much more west do you want?

If you have to go to work you have to go to work, but I'm sure the west of the folks at IHD would agree that a westful weekend would be good, perhaps watching reruns of The Young and the Westless.

Oh yeah. Ithas been real fun. They sent me home with chest pain and a bottle of nitro. The nitro helps a little, but the chest pressure is still there.  I am going back into urgent care/er on Friday if this still sucks.

Are you getting some time off from the school on christmas break? Please don't over do things until you are confident that your ok. Something is causing that pressure feeling. I'm in the same boat. I get that also and have had stress tests and ultrasounds and they say everything is fine.

I'm worried about both of you.  Chest pain is SCARY!  One of the dogs I'm keeping this week belongs to a client that went to the ER a few days ago with chest pain.  He's had surgery - replaced a valve and something else - maybe bypass or stent.  I didn't delay his wife when she dropped off the dog.  Stay on the docs to take care of you!

Oh Kit, this is too much! You have enough on your plate already. I've got all my digits crossed that it just goes away and never comes back. Let us know.

they probably mean musculoskeletal (involving muscle and bone). Many of the patients who are referred to our cardiology clinic with chest pains are checked out, and the conclusion is that the pains are musculoskeletal rather than cardiac. It's actually a good thing, really! Well, it's not good that you have pain, but it's good news to hear that it's not cardiac. That's why these things need to be checked out so quickly.

the last thread was 27th, it's 30th over here, how's Kitkatz? I pray you are good and fine to welcome the new year. I am just surprised that everytime we (me & hubby) have our wednesday novena to our Mother of Perpetual Help, I always say a prayer to the whole IHD family in general, but last wednesday, I specially mention Kitkatz, and I haven't read this thread until now. Kitkatz, come'on, you are needed here, we love you.

I had chest pain at dialysis today and they sent me to Kaiser ER to be checked out.   Victor (hubby) took me to the ER. They say there is nothing wrong.  They don't know why I am having chest pains. They must think I am psycho!

We already know that.. :rofl;.. I think you passed psycho a long time ago Kit. So do they have any suggestions at all? I know this has to be awfully stressful on you.

 :grouphug;  Hugs Kit.

Have they done all the tests? Are they suggesting it's stress related? You have been under a lot of stress lately. (To put it mildly  ::) ) I am sure your body can only take so much before it screams "Give me a break!!"

Can you take some time off work? I know that might not be so easy. So what about another long weekend away with Victor.

Either way Kit you need a rest.   :cuddle;

Hey Kitkatz, have they done an angiogram? When mom had her chest pains she said it felt heavy across her chest and she felt sharp pains in both her arms. She was short of breath and sweaty. On a separate but related note, mom's PCP told her that he had another patient that had the same overall redness and itching that she did only this person got it after being home for a day. Doc thinks it is the dye. Mom said her nails are stronger, her hair is dryer, and now her toe is acting up - skin getting thicker and tender. From what I've read of allergy to the dye, it affects more than what you can see.

If you haven't had an angiogram and you get pains again, can you make them do one? It's one thing to give you nitro ( to probably protect them as well as you), but I'm sure you agree that the cause needs to be discovered soon. take care Kitkatz
