Guest guest Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 Yesterday after delivering a lecture to my students, I almost passed out. I had felt funny all morning but chalked it up to anemia. But after scaring my students, my heart was pounding, I got very nauseous and started perspiring. I thought " great. I'm having a heart attack. " Instead of going to the ER (which I don't know why i didn't) I went to my GP. She ran another blood test, still anemic but better. She did an EKG. Nothing. Other blood tests show nothing. I had center chest pains on and off all night with severe fatigue. I went to bed at 9 and couldn't drag myself out of bed to go teach this morning. I went and had an XRay and I'm PRAYING it shows something. It's been one thing after another for two years now. Even my husband is getting tired of " a new problem every month. " (I had pneumonia, kidney stones and cellutis this year!) Now this. My coworkers can be extremely catty. One told me on Monday my problem is that I go to see the doctor in the first place. (This from a woman with a huge cyst on her breast) I am home from work. Again. My heart occasionally races, I'll get dizzy and I will sweat buckets! I can't drive like this. I work 30 minutes away. The pain is in the center of my chest but it only lasts a couple of seconds. I am losing my breath walking up the stairs. I know this isn't normal! I am only 40 and I feel like I am 80. Help! I'm at a low point right now. G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
