ER visit

Tweet

Yesterday I was having pains in the left side of my chest. Wasn't really bad pain, and really thought maybe heartburn...but around midnight, not only did the left side of my chest hurt, the shoulder area started hurting especially when I took a deep breath. I kept trying NOT to go to the ER, but got worried and had Tom take me about 2am. Got in right away..actually had a Bed instead of a lounge chair. They did an EKG and took blood. I sat up in the bed at a slant..anyway, I had to put the upper part up even more as I started getting dizzy. Wouldn't quit and I had to go to the bathroom. The nurse got a wheel chair and went with me. I finally quit spinning. I have to say I bet the nurses do not have to put their lunches in a Frig to keep them cold..the ER is cold enough. I was freezing...they Finally brought me a blanket. Long story short, my EKG was good...my BP was 126/59. no idea about the x-ray results. I was given a choice..I could be admitted for further testing or I could go home and follow up with my doctor, but they could not find anything wrong. SOOO..I went home in pain still..went to bed..called my heart doctor and got an appointment foro Friday morning. Had to cancel my foot doctor that was on Friday. I figured if my heart wasn't working my toes would not matter. LOL Not sure what hurts worse right now...my chest area or my right leg. Just took an 800mg Ibprofen..hopefully I will be able to tolerate going to the store to get my Lottery. LOL
