Hey everyone
Hey guys....how's everyone. I haven't been doing to well. I told Joni about it the other night. I've been having some troubles with my daughter. I thought I was having a heart attack Saturday and ended up in the E.R., they said it wasn't my heart though. I go back to the Dr. tomorrow so hopefully I'll know more of what is causing this pressure and shortness of breath. I hate that I missed chat last night. I did catch up with Joni late last night and we had a good talk. I hope she is being careful out driving to those Dr. appts. today. Let me know when we are having a chat again. I always miss the fun stuff.

Hope you feel better soon Beth. I had something similar happen to me last year. My blood pressure went sky high, I had gotton upset at work by a coworker, long story. I went to the ER with shortness of breath, and major mid sternum chest pain, left arm pain, nausea, the whole 9 yards. I just knew I was having a heart attack. It wasn't. The doctor said it work related stress that brought on an anxiety attack. He took me off work for a week and put me on muscle relaxers, around the clock and gave me Lortab 10 for my migranes. It was the best thing he ever did for me. I was relaxed and well rested, my blood pressure was so high he was even afraid to let me go home, so he kept me in the ER for almost 5 hours, and medicated me until it went down. I got the records and used this as part of my comorbidities , to BCBS too. Unstable BP not relieved by BP meds I think played the biggest part in getting my approval. Enough rambling, get well soon sweetie!
Love,
Elspeth!
