Eventfull week

[formariz 12,328]

So I have not been feeling very well lately with my heart racing and difficulty breathing when that happens. This week has been particularly bad specially Wednesday and Thursday. Friday I decide to see doctor and as soon as he examines me he basically asks me if he should call the ambulance or if my wife will drive me. Sure enough this is what the poor woman needed now in her condition. So he states that I either already had a heart attack or am about to have one. Stubborn as I am I did not want to go in an ambulance and since my wife cannot drive a manual car I wound up calling a friend nearby to take us. 
  Summarizing the events since then it was established that I did not have a heart attack yet but something is wrong either electrically or some type of blockage. They did find a clot in my leg which luckily has not traveled anywhere. So here I am all wired up doing all kinds of tests again. Seems like it never ends with health issues for both of us now a days. I’ll be here until Tuesday in the very least from what it looks. This may be the new normal unfortunately.

Thank you to all that asked about my abrupt interruption while posting on something. From there things unfolded pretty rapidly.

prayers Cas! 

 

11 yrs. ago I was in a similar situation. Except I was very tired. Had the flu shot a couple of days earlier and thought that was it. Then started getting acid reflux which I never had. Went home early from work and my hands fell off the steering wheel. Managed to get home. When my got home I told her and she called the Doc. He said get to the hospital I just had left. Turns out I indeed had a heart attack and had to have 2 stents in my LAD artery

Praying for the doctors treating you and good results.  The most important part you got help right away. The work will be there when you get back.

Cas - my prayers go out to you & yours.

I too had a near-death experience 11 months ago. Went to see my PCP, and the resident Doctor and left there in an ambulance. Eight days in the Hospital dealing with the effects of Congestive Heart Failure and an A-Fib condition. A few weeks later, I went back to see the PCP for the post-hospital checkup. Left there again in an ambulance! I told them if I see the Doctor's car in their parking lot on subsequent visits, I'm leaving!!
