What to do....

Postby Ilovebigcats » March 20th, 2008, 7:58 am

What do you do if you feel like you need to go to the ER but you have too much to do and can't contact a relative to come watch your kids. :?

I am having some chest pains. It kept me up all night.

Call an ambulance....they can check you and determine if you really need to go.

I know that bad acid reflux can cause chest problems like that. A girl I knew went to the ER thinking she was having a heart attack or something and it was just really bad acid reflux. Maybe try some tums?

It doesn't burn. It is more like a pull.
I have consistent palpitation issues and have been told I need to be checked for a Mitral Valve Prolapse but I don't think that causes pain.

personally I'd say call your husband and your pastor! (OK Dr Ron, you can kill me later)

honestly if you are in trouble and need some help, I know enough of your church and your pastor to say they'll do everything they can for you, and if you are needing emergency medical treatment, your husband can take off to come watch the kids, if he can't (which would seem to me to go against the family medical leave act) then your pastor may have someone or know someone who could help.

BUT the ambulance idea may be better, to determine if it's that drastic.

It's not a drastic emergency. I do think I need to be checked though. I don't have a regular doctor and I get free care at St Thomas ER... soooo... that is all it is. I will wait until Danny gets home in an hour and a half and see what he says. It is starting to annoy and scare me.

I know a lot of church people that would help... even a few friends but it is out of my way to get the kids out there. My grandmother and husband get off of work shortly. *sigh* I don't know... I am trying to talk myself out of going.

It isn't bad enough to freak out but it is bad enough to keep me awake and scare me.

OK, that's a different story, when I hear "Emergency Room" I think "Emergency" our insurance frowns on using it as a general Dr visit.

I think you should definitely be checked just to see what they say. Better than wondering and worrying!

We don't have insurance. I fall under and charity group they have at that hospital.

One, take an aspirin (just in case).
Two, take an antacid (just in case).
Three, check your pulse/heart rate.
Four, get somewhere comfortable and relax in a position that does not stress the heart (legs up and uncrossed, etc.).

BTW, we are praying with and for you, sister.

#1- I have problems with thin blood already.
#2- I take a daily supplement that prevents heart burn.
#3- My pulse is high.
#4- I laid down but that intensifies the pain. I fell asleep and the sharp jabs woke me up. My left arm was starting to cramp. Now it is just kinda numb and weak.

I think I may be crazy. LOL!

Go to the doctor! The signs that you are exhibiting could very well indicate a coronary event.

Do not pass "GO"

Postby Pastor Gary » March 20th, 2008, 1:10 pm

Get to the ER.
Do not pass "GO" - do not collect $200... you do NOT want to mess around with chest pains in any way at all.

Guess wrong, and Danny will be a young widower looking for a second wife who loves kids.

My arm is bothering me again.

My grandmother is coming over to watch the kids. I am heading to the ER.

Pray for me please.
