Scared

[Superbob]

Am hoping Blake took the very good advice you all gave and got this checked out right away, and we'll hear soon everything is okay. I am just catching up with this. I agree that symptoms such as were described ought to be checked out right away.

Blake, where are you??

Hoping she is just busy with the turkey.

Hello everyone I am so sorry I didn't write back, kept forgetting. I talked to one of my heart doctors and he told me if I had another episode to go straight to the ER and get in to see primary asap. I am doing fine and didn't have another episode. I could not make an appt. to primary until Dec. 1st, so will be doing that soon. Thank all of you for being so thoughtful and thanks for all your help. I know I probably should have went to ER that day but I didn't, don't know why just second guessed myself I guess or was in shock and that is dangerous I know. But I will be listening to my body from now on.

Thanks again,
Blake777

I'm glad you call. You take care of yourself.

Glad you're ok for now. Really had us worried. Let us know how your appt goes on Tuesday... and for heaven's sake, if something like that happens again, get to the ER.

Blake:

Your appt is tomorrow. Please post results of your visit. Descriptions of the incidents give cause for concern.


A friend recently had some odd episodes that she ignored. Her husband was out of town at those times. Two weeks ago, she had another one; her husband was home, so he took her to the ER.
Diagnosis: major heart attack.
2 arteries were 100% occluded. She had to have 4 stents put in, spent about 1 week in the hospital.

So, please do NOT gloss over anything unusual and don't let others tell you it's perfectly normal. Better to "waste" a few bucks having something checked out than to ignore it, thinking it will go away.

Let us know. We worry. Good luck on your appointment tomorrow.
