I guess it's my turn.

[shesulsa]

I went to the ER last night with serious chest pain, my blood pressure was 157/99. I've been admitted. It's still high, but my cardiac enzymes and EKG are normal.

I just returned from a stress test and am awaiting results.

My thoughts are with you! At least you haven't had a heart attack, so there is good news. Keep us up to date, please.

 

[Bob Hubbard]

So, now would be a bad time to suggest you come back as an admin?

Seriously, get better fast.

 

[Steve]

Ugh... take care and keep us posted!

Take care and feel better!

Get better,soon, Georgia. (157/99 is not too alarming, btw. It could be that elevated from normal stress, like kids, or being a mod. Hopefully, they'll figure it out soon...)

Did they disconnect the coffee IV first? Just kidding...feel better soon!

"G" Are you under stress, short term or long term? Like being a worried mother, dealing with a start up business, or dealing with being a landlord?

"G" Bob never asked me back even in jest.

"G" have them run the tests and make sure. Check your BP your self when you get out in the morning and evening to see if it is high before or after sleep. Track it and let your doctor know. More data should be good for him.

Stay relaxed and breath in and out slowly. Get well soon.

I'll avoid the reflex to start asking detailed questions and just say you're in our thoughts and hope everything turns out well for you.

Later, I'll expect to see copies of your EKG, lab work, stress test and imaging posted here.

 

[Tez3]

Get better soon! is it watching the Olympics that's doing it lol?

 

[Xue Sheng]

Keep us posted and I hope all turns out fine.

So you are trying to give her a heart attack because your still upset she stopped being an admin... is that it :uhyeah:

OHkizay! EKGs are normal, cardiac enzymes normal. Stress test and nuclear imaging showed no ischemia and no blockages. Heart and vessels are working great. Won't get the results on lipids back for a few days. So ... follow-up with primary about digestion, I'm thinking, and probably anxiety. Fun stuff.

Exellent news, G. GERD is certainly preferable to CAD.

I think Bob is causing your anxiety. Stop it, Bob!

Was worried when I read the OP, Georgia, so I am glad to hear that there is at least some good news that has come to you quite quickly - finding out what something is not, especially scary things, helps cut down on the 'fret load'.

Am dealing with another round of evil ailments with both my mother and my missus's mother too this time and am considering declaring a ban on people close to me getting ill :lol:.

 

[shesulsa]

Thanks for the well-wishes, everyone!

I'm very glad the ticker is tocking in good form! I eat my share of cheeseburgers (which will be a more scarce occurrence from here on in) and am overweight, so ... I'll save the "PHEW" for when my lipid results come back.

I made the follow-up appointment and am going to schedule a procedure to reduce my monthly bleeding (should help abate the anemia). Looking up the GERD eating plan now. You know, just in case.

Back about 2003 (part of why I started taking martial arts, BTW), I was having stress induced anxiety attacks. I actually went to the doctor with chest pains one time. It was one of those cycles where I would stress out, which would cause chest pain, which would trigger more anxiety, and so on... My EKG was one of those where it was... normal, but there were some anomalies that weren't "uncommon." The cardiac enzymes came back "a little" elevated, which is also not uncommon, but combined with the slightly off EKG, they ended up doing an angiogram (or whatever that thing is where they check out your arteries through your thigh). Needless to say, my anxiety shot through the roof at this point. Interestingly enough, my brother actually had a heart attack at 39 years old... so, it's in the family.

Ultimately, though, in my case, it was a false alarm. I addressed my diet, got into martial arts, eventually found BJJ, lost weight, reduced my stress level and learned a lot about my body and overall health.

All of that just to say, get well soon! I know exactly what you're going through.
