rtbiscuit Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 been off ill last night and today with D & V but this afternoon have been suffering chest pains, i know a bit about cardio stuff as my mum had a heart attack last year and was sure it wasn't that. but it got to the point i couldn't cope with the continous stabbing pain in the centre of my chest. ended up ringing NHS direct who ended up calling an ambulance for me. got all the neghbours out and everything. ended up having an ECG and all other tests. doesn't seem to be a heart issue, paramedic reckons it might be a trapped nerve in the centre of my chest or severe muscle spasm. must admit was releived to konw it wasn't a coranary issue, as i was getting worried when i was struggling to breath. will give the neighbours something to talk about. and i've now had my chest shaved by 3 blokes. panic over now to get rid of the D&V Quote
rtbiscuit Posted June 15, 2009 Author Posted June 15, 2009 had me worried. especially as i was struggling to breath Quote
Andy Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 I had a similar thing last year and spent the night in hospital, they put it down to overworking and not enough time off and the hard to breath down to a panic attack due to the chest pains! Had 3 ECG's and a load of other tests, x-rays etc and everything came back clear!! Glad you are ok though mate, these things can be rather nerve wracking!! btw, what's D&V? Quote
LRF4N Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 sickness and arse sickness glad ur ok mate musta been scary Quote
IanS16 Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 btw, what's D&V? One comes out the mouth. One comes out the other end Quote
rtbiscuit Posted June 15, 2009 Author Posted June 15, 2009 btw, what's D&V? One comes out the mouth. One comes out the other end i got the term off the paramedic, thought it was good as i cant spell die-a-rear Quote
martinmac Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 Its a great relief to know what it isnt Rich, very worrying mate. Glad you have been given the all clear. Quote
rtbiscuit Posted June 15, 2009 Author Posted June 15, 2009 thanks guys, i hadn't posted to do so much as i was worried about heart problems, more that i thought it was funny that 3 guys shaved my chest. its all itchy now. my wife told me off because she told me to ring for an ambulance an hour before hand but i was being stubborn and told her it would pass. it did but not until the paramedics turned up. its like they scared it away. must admit, struggling for air is not fun. did make me a little panic'y was glad to see them turn up when they did. these guys do an excellent job and i sometimes think they are under valued.

Rushed her into hospital, loads of blood test and ecg's absolutely shitting ourselves, really thought she was having a heart attack. Turned out to be an acid reflux problem, she's been on a health kick ever since and lost a ton of weight etc etc,now her boobs are shrinking, f***ing hospitals Quote
