RN I really feel like a thoroughly exhausted lifeless dishrag, but I prefer the way my previous post sounds. Goodnight, all.

Right now I think im gonna pass out...I just shelled out some more money for the kiddos summer camp activities...bringing the grand total of all camps (4 different ones) to $890 here is the moment where i wish i had more children...so they could entertain each other and i wouldn't have to stress about keeping my only child busy all summer long...

RN, I did decide to take the day off! I work at home, so I put a message on my answering machine that my office is closed today. RN, I've got to get to work on my 10-page paper that's due tomorrow - hence, the day off!

rn, I came into work late and am leaving early. My boss just thanked me for coming in today and told me to take Monday off. She knew I hadn't asked for the day off cuz she had a few things that we didn't get to during the week that needed to be done today. Yay me!

rn, i'm deciding when/if i should go to the hospital. i called dh, so he's home ready to take me. around 10:30am i think i had slight heart attack. not sure, never felt anything like it. i was on the computer, just reading, sitting. suddenly i felt this crushing type feeling or tightness in my back. different than a backache. i was wet with sweat between my breasts. it was short. just a 2-3 minutes. not sure. after a few minutes i felt okay. just very light tightness in chest. then nothing. only odd thing is my left calf felt a little numb or stiff right after and still does. i started googling. then i called insurance to make sure i could go to the hospital closest to me. then spent about 3 hours writing out all the information i thought dh would have to know to fill out hospital papers. then i wrote on separate paper what happened this am, what i had eaten, explained on no medications, that i had taken one aspirin after pain (per google: take one aspirin while waiting for paramedics), no allergies, and to take my purse (with all insurance info. etc). i taped it that paper to the counter near the door. left my door ajar. i was feeling okay. then around 3:45 i get back on the computer. i start typing (updating some email contacts)....then i notice a little tightness in my chest. then clammy hands. i rarely get that and that didn't happen this morning.no sweat anywhere else. so, i figure the typing was causing this again. strange, though, since i had just been writing for hours and felt okay. so, now i've started typing this and no change. so, hopefully i'm okay. there is a little bit of tightness in my chest. but not bad at all. just feels like some pressure. i didn't get the sore left arm (a symptom per google) this morning but for about 2 hours now there has been soreness on upper arm. odd thing is i'm a bit hungry. that seems like it would be a good sign. i wouldn't think one would be hungry if one had a heart attack. feeling sick or feeling like one has to vomit are possible symptoms. i'm afraid to eat though. i tend to choke a bit sometimes when i eat (nothing to do with too big of bites or eating too fast). i'm afraid if i start choking, i could start something. if i decide to go i've got everything ready to get out the door and get to the hospital. about 10-15 minutes away i guess. either way, i will definitely go to doc first thing monday morning and get everything checked out. i'm going to take it easy. i mentioned a couple of days ago, i was going to have a stressful day. well, it ended up not being stressful since i put it off. i have been worrying about a few things that i need to get working on (paperwork type stuff with professionals). it was so odd, though, just a few days ago (monday morning or tuesday around just the same time, i was on the computer and i suddenly felt very anxious. i couldn't figure it out. there was nothing that i was thinking about at that moment. i suddenly was just worried something bad had happened. i checked the news to see if accidents. i thought dh might have been in an accident. no accidents. i was also worried because if dh didn't show up at work, i doubt anyone would think to call him at home until very late in the day if at all. i finally just called him. he was fine. then i even checked my horoscope (something i never do). that was interesting. i made some more calls. all seemed okay. then about 3 hours my power went. i first thought, okay, here it comes. turns out just power out in this area due to work be done on the street and some problem. well, i'm going to stop typing now. my hand feel a little clammy again. maybe, i'm just hot. i've been blasting the ac off and on though. i'll check back soon. i'm going to lie on the bed and watch tv. just while typing this the tightness has seemed to lessen. i think in about an hour, dh and i will go to a restaurant very close to the hospital (and i'll take my stuff). that way, if eating makes it worse, i'll be close.

Right now, take care of yourself, Abby. I think getting yourself in to be checked up is the best thing you can do.

Abby, get OFF the computer and get yourself to the hospital. It sure sounds like the warning sign of bigger things to come. Don't mean to panic you, but you certainly can not play around with this. Best wishes to you, and please have someone let us know if you have to stay in the hospital.

I wanted to add that there are medications they can administer to lessen permanent damage from heart attacks. Don't waste valuable time just waiting for the morning, please.

Yes I do think it can happen more than once. As with strokes, there are often a series of smaller events prior to a larger one. I honestly don't want to scare you, but you need to be checked out. Hey, if it's gas or the flu, you can relax. Nah, don't take anything other than your insurance cards. You can wear a hospital gown and deal with your own personal things later if need be. They will likely just hook you up to the monitor and they need access to your chest area to attach the pads. ETA: Women's symptoms are not necessarily the same as men's. Just because you didn't have the left arm pain thing doesn't mean much.
