[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 641226, member: 1233"] I am glad you are seeing your doctor, but ToK is right. If you cannot sit and tell your kids what I said, then you get to the ER when you have the pains. Part of the reason this scared me is because of family history. I never got to meet one Grandpa because he died before I was born. He had chest pains several times and ignored them. They went away, so how bad could they be? He had at least SEVEN small heart attacks that he ignored. By the time he saw a doctor, things were so bad that he could not be helped. He didn't even make it four more months. It is also alarming because I just saw an old episode of Dr. G,Medical Examiner. The patient suddenly fell over dead. Only it was NOT sudden. He had a major heart attack a few days before and ignored the symptoms. Only part of his heart died and was necrotic, meaning dead and decaying, by the time he actually died. Had he gotten medical attention, surgery could have repaired the problem so his heart would not have died and been turning black inside his body. Would you prefer to go and get checked and learn it isn't a heart attack, but have the CHANCE for surgery to save you if it is, or would you rather just let it 'go away' and then die because you let one of your most important muscles just rot away? Would your kids be able to cope with that? What if you were driving them around in the car when that happened? Would they get hurt? I know this tugs at your heart, and some seems really icky and gross. That is because the reality could be heartbreaking if you allow it to get that far. Just because you have anxiety issues doesn't mean you cannot still have a heart attack. [/QUOTE]
