Gotta Have Heart

Yesterday I started to feel badly again, another 'episode' as I have begun to call them. I tried valiantly to move on with my life, fulfill my obligations, but alas, that was not meant to be. After arriving at my second job, the 'episode' started getting worse. By the insistence of my friends at the second job, I drove myself to the local Emergency Room. I then stayed for tests that led to the recommendation that I stay for a 24 hour cardiac observation.

So there I sat (layed, actually) all by myself waiting to see what, if anything, is going to make me feel better.

My niece offered to come out to be with me, but at that point I was waiting for a room upstairs, so with nothing more for her to do but sit and stare at me (at least at that point) I told her not to worry and that I would call her in the morning. Unfortunately, this is the part where my phone battery dies. No lie, the drama just keeps coming.

Bottom line, all symptoms point to heart trouble, no test can prove it. So, with no test able to prove heart trouble, we move on to number two on the list that fit the symptoms:  Panic/Anxiety attacks.

Solution: Get healthy, make lifestyle changes, eat more fruits and vegetables, diminish stress.

Sounds so simple, doesn't it?
