Take a breath

Isn't the thought of having a heart attack scary?  Well sure it is!  Last Saturday after a few episodes of chest pain I went to the emergency room.  I had called my doctor a couple days before and they said to go there.  I of course did not want to do that so didn't.  Then on Saturday morning at around five o'clock I had such bad pain I told the hubby I must go.  So we arrived at the ER before 5:30 in the morning.  When told the problem they took me right in.  Thirteen and a half hours later after numerous blood tests, two scans and a stress test, I went home.  The result?  No answer to why I was having the pain.  Then on Sunday I had a mild pain problem but was home alone and did nothing.  They told me to get right back if I had pain again but what are you going to do when you are alone?  Call an ambulance?  Well, the pain didn't last so I didn't call.  I went to see my doctor on Tuesday.  He went over all the info sent to him by the hospital and we talked and he listened to my heart and told me all the tests said no heart problem.  I was given a couple alternative ideas of what could have caused this and prescribed nitro pills to take if I got the pain again.  So Tuesday night I got the pain again!  At first I thought ..heart burn?  Having never had heart burn I wasn't sure how it should feel.  Took tums and pain subsided.  I thought oh my gosh, I have gone through all this for heart burn?  Went to bed later and a while  laying in bed reading I had pain...again.  This time it was worse.  I tried more tums.  Still having pain.  I gave in and tried one of the nitro pills.  One to two minutes later the pain was gone!  So today I am being very careful what I eat, how I move, and so far no pain..but its early.  Who knows what I am going to find out about all this.  The MS makes lots of weird things happen so time will tell I guess.  Then yesterday I found out that my childhood friend is going with hospice because she has a short time left.  Then my sister-in-law's brother is not good and in the hospital and things don't look good there either.  I know...not a fun blog to read today but this is life.  It gives one thought to be right with God so you have hope for a better life after death....I have that faith and am praying for these other people too.  Bless us all.
