Well it happened again yesterday. Hubby ended up taking me to the ER, by the time we got there my left side was going numb and tingly, along with the pain and i did throw up some. They ended up giving me baby asprin along with 2 nitro pills that did eventually stop the pain, and checked all of my vitals.

They also checked my leg out to see if they could see any signs of a blood clot since it has been hurting me so bad for a few weeks now.

They didn't seem to think it was my heart and i tend to agree with them, cause it happened after eating a large meal again. Now i am afraid to eat anything.

I am waiting for my Dr to open so i can follow up and hopefully get some test run and find out just what the heck is going on with me. I am hopeing i can get in either today or tomorrow and get this taken care of.

I hope it's nothing serious Lynne, but you call me as soon as you find out something!!

Oh no!! I hate to hear that you had to run to the emergency room. I hope your doctor finds out what's wrong.

I know that one time I had stress so bad that I had pain down my left arm and felt like I was going to pass out......we ran into the dr's office and my blood pressure was so high the nurse wouldn't tell me what it was.......I ended up in the hospital for several days and eventually going to another doctor to find out that I had problems with anxiety. Eventually I was put on medicine to help it but I sure thought that I was having a heart attack......sure scared me.

It just goes to show that there are other illnesses that imitate others. I hope you're better soon!!! Hugs!!!

Lynne, I'm so sorry that you had another episode - but i'm glad that you went to the doctor and they don't think it is your heart. I hope they can find out what the heck is wrong though!

[gja1000]

Diana! That happened to my son-in-law too, except they didn't put him in the hospital - they just ran a lot of tests and decided it too, was anxiety. That must have been very scary!

Hi Lynne, I'm hoping you are feeling better today!

I don't want to scare you, but did they work you up for MS (multiple sclerosis). I do NOT think that is what this is, but you should be checked for it, given some of your symptoms, e.g., numbness, weakness and tingling.

Oh Thanks Gayle, here i was scared to death i was having a heart attack and now you don't want me to be scared about this LOL, just kidding you.

But no they didn't check for that.

Not sure if i had mentioned it or not but my leg has been killing me for about the past month, i went to the Dr for that and he wanted to start with the predisone and Tramadol, well that did not work, it's still hurting. The ER Dr did look at my leg to see if he thought there might be a clot and he did not think so. I do have an MRI scheduled but it's not till the 22nd, not sure i can hold out that long.

As for the chest pain, my Dr said to try the Previcide, so i started it today, i did not realize it was a 14 day pack every 4 months, i don't understand how it continues to work for the 4 months. I also scheduled a stress test, but not sure if i will keep that app or not, the ER Dr and my Dr were both pretty sure it was not my heart, so why go through that, it also is not till the 22nd. I am thinking it is more of a gastrol ?, not sure i could make it through the stress test with my leg any ways.

I did go back to work today and other than being tired and my leg hurting, i'm ok.

I'm eating light and smaller portions so as not to fill myself up, but hubby is getting on me about my weight, he says i am skin and bones and don't look healthy. I know i am exerting more energy just walking and just like before my back surgery i lost so much weight.

Good gosh i am such a mess, i've never been like this before and i am not liking it at all. Only a couple of more days and the puppies will be in their new homes, so that will be one less thing i have to dael with, as much as i will miss them, they have been good babies.
Ok i will stop complaining now.
