[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 358540, member: 84"] Call your doctor ASAP! Are you having any symptoms now? If so, get thee to the ER as fast as you can. If such symptoms can be checked out when they're going on, the better. Women don't typically display the stereotypical symptoms of a heart attack. I'm not saying that is what was happening, although it's hard to know from the symptoms alone. (which is why it needs to be checked) Could be other things to do with the heart that also need to be checked out and treated, and this could be your warning to have it done ASAP When I had my heart attack my symptoms started mid afternoon. Oddly mine did display fairly typical symptoms. I had the crushing pain in the center of my chest that went thru to the back. I felt like someone was ramming a red hot steel rod thru my left armpit. And it was a draw between which of those two hurt the worst. husband was furious because I refused to be checked. I attempted to ignore it. Because if I sat long enough the symptoms to ease off. Went to walmart and it brought me to my knees. Still refused to go to ER. Went home and took a shower. (by now had decided that it was NOT going away) I barely made it out of the shower to call easy child before husband could drive me to ER. I have the training and know better. And still I waited. I'm lucky my heart didn't suffer much damage from it. Very lucky. I won't wait a 2nd time. Doesn't necessarily have to be a heart attack. Could be a variety of heart issues, that left untreated could lead to a heart attack. Get thee to a doctor to be checked out. Always with chest pain, get thee to a doctor or ER to be checked out. Believe me, they prefer it be a false alarm than for you to be sprawled out on the floor at home because you waited too long. Keep us updated. ((hugs)) [/QUOTE]
