Beading and a scare

I sat down yesterday morning, Our 52nd wedding anniversary to do some bead work. My heart went into over drive doing 99 bonk. Then a heavy pressure in my chest. DH rang our GP who could not see me until the afternoon. Pain got worse so DH put me in the car and rushed me to the hospital where I had my bypass and stents. My heart rate had gone up to 144 beat per minute.

I spent 24 hours in hospital, fortunately no damage done to my heart but it has left me feeling very shaky.

The bead project will have to wait. It was a very frightening experience. Hugs Shirley who lost one of her nine lives. LOL

Oh my gosh Shirley, that must have been a huge scare! I'm surprised you are up and posting again so quickly. I'm glad to hear that your heart is still in good shape though.

Best, Christine

Nah, you didn't lose one of the 9. Just got nearby and waved to it.

So glad you're better, Shirley -- tell your dang heart to stop scaring us!

That GP should have directed you to the ER immediately! You don't fool around with such things (and thank goodness you didn't). So many physicians

*still* don't think "heart problem" when a woman has these symptoms. We have to take care of ourselves, because many in the medical community are behind the times.

Ladies, did you know that a woman's heart attack symptoms may be dismissed as indigestion? We often don't have that "pain in the arm" that many men have. Instead, we may have nausea and neck pain. So don't be "brave" if you get suddenly sick ... go to the ER! And don't let them tell you to sit and wait while the "emergencies" are dealt with, because YOU are having the emergency.

Back to your beading, now.

Hello Shirley: I agree with the other comments. Get to the ER as quickly as possible!!

Best wishes to you Shirley, probably good to take it easy for awhile.

It is good that you're ok and that you had help when it was needed. It's hard to believe a GP would not take you seriously after a bypass though! Make sure to tell him about it.

My thanks to you and all who sent their good wishes. I am feeling okay now but taking it very easy. I have just had a letter that I have to go for further tests in January.

Please stop tempting me about Hershey kisses. LOL Shirley
