So yesterday I finish work and I walk over the road to get a juice. I'm waiting in line their and all of a sudden I get this pain in my chest. Felt like someone just punched me in the chest then a numbness going down both arms and chest and down into my gut. Strangest thing I ever felt. probably lasted around 5 seconds. I go sit down and i'm sweating and feeling dizzy so I just sit their for a few minutes.
So i'm in a big mall and the hospital is basically right next door so im like fuck it, I will start walking over there just in case. I get a little more pain on the way over but not quite as bad. My dad, his two brothers and their father all had triple bypass so I figure better to be safe than sorry right.
So I end up walkin in to emergency and tell the girl at the counter i'm gettin chest pain so she takes my in straight away and 5 mins later im hooked up to an EKG? and some other crap. They take some blood and send me for a chest x-ray.
They take my blood pressure and its something like 180/95 and bouncer she is holdind the cuff with her hand. I tell her to get a bigger cuff so she comes back with a bigger one. I got a pic here of the small one right before my piece of shit phone died because its a fuckin samsung s7 that doesn't hold charge for more than 5 fucking hours.
Interesting thing was the reading were nearly exactly the same with both cuffs. You can see in the pic the different sizes they use.
I asked one of the nurses about the high BP and get this she says, 'because of the amount of muscle mass you have it could be throwing it off' im thinking yeh bitch muscle mass. So at this point I have seemn about 5 different doctors and nurses and they all ask the same questions. I told them everything I had been taking and they are asking me how to spell anadrol.
Chest x-ray comes back normal, bloods come back showing no cardiac activity..meaning normal. Only one spike in one of the EKG's which they think is nothing. Then they tell me oh but sometimes it won't show up in your blood for 6 hours so we need to keep you here and do more bloods later. They take me into the ward and Im sharing it with 3 other woman in the 80's. One has lung cancer and is coughing up her lung and the one directly opposite me just looks like a dead body, litterly motionless staring at the ceiling until the nurse comes in and starts feeding her custard. At this point im like fuck this im out of here so i call the nurse and tell her i want to discharge myself. Shes like oh you will be doing so against medical advice and you will have to sign a form. So im looking at this old lady with custard running down her chin and im like yeh bring me the form. Next thing one of the docs comes in and tries to convince me to stay at least until they get the second bloods back.
So long story short Im there for about 8 hrs. As soon as the second bloods come back they are normal so im like fuk it im going home which they didn't like but they tell me they will follow up with my GP to come back for more tests. So I have to go back there this afternoon.
So what was it? Fucked if I know...Anxiety attack? Massive heart palps?? I don't know but im not dead yet so all good.
The nurses were actually really cool with the gear. One of them even told me never to talk to GPS about it and see an Endocrinologist. The Doc also said it was great i was taking the baby asprin but I also need to be taking something else for stomach ulcers. He said anyone who takes baby asprin is supposed to take it.
Will see if i can get some more answers over the next few days.
