I was woken up at 5 yesterday morning with chest pains. I have had them like this before and they are usually just gas. One good burp will usually take them away. So, I pressed on with my day trying my best to ignore them. Burps came and went but the pain persisted. By 3:30 in the afternoon, I finally gave up and had Marianne take me to the ER. They took blood, ran tests and took x-rays. Everything is fine. They think it was just my acid reflux acting up. I let out a sigh of relief that I wasn't going to kick the bucket and last night I slept very well.
I must say, when you walk in to the ER and say you've been having chest pains, things start happening fast! They didn't even wait for me to finish what I was saying before they were up and getting the doctor. Once the EKG was done and looked fine, then things slowed down while we just sat around and waited on the results of the blood tests. All in all, we were there for a couple of hours.
