Last night I had such difficulty sleeping. Chest pressure, intestinal pain, and vomiting. I was more than worried about my health today. I went to the ER. I was admitted and stayed for a few hours. EKG, X-Rays, blood tests, and monitors the whole time I was there. While I lay there waiting and hoping the results were good. I heard the doctor tell the lady next to me she would have to stay for a while because they thought she may have had a heart attack. Of course I start to stress more than I already am. Fortunately for me, they found nothing, but I was told at my age and with the medication I am on, I am at risk for blood clots and they wanted to do a CT scan. Cancer runs in my family and I have awful luck. CT scans cause cancer, I think the doctor said 1 in 1000 get cancer from a CT scan. So I declined. I would rather drop dead from a stroke or heart attack than get cancer and die a slow horrible death. I was officially diagnosed with an ulcer and GERD, due to stress. They were not sure where the chest pain and pressure was from, nor the weird tingling sensation I was getting in my arms. Oh well. As I sit here, I feel like death. The doctor suggested taking today and tomorrow off work, but I declined for tomorrow. I had already missed work due to being in the ER for today. So, now I'm off to bed in hopes of sleeping and forcing myself to get up at 3:30 am. YAY!
Good night and sleep well world.
