so i've been having these random episodes of sudden chest pain for the last 1 1/2 years or so. never thought much of it ...
then, last night, i woke up around 2am with a really sharp pain in my chest, lasted for about an hour. i felt fine when i woke up this morning. shannon and i went to get lunch and while i was driving, the pain came back and the left half of my face went numb. we get to the lunch place and i get dizzy and have hotflashes. shannon freaks out and drives me to the hospital. i tell them my symptoms and they rush me right past the line of other patients and into the ER and hooked me up to a gazillion of cables. then i had to eat a bunch of pretty happy pills and they gave me a few shots of nitroglycerine. got all fresh oxygen to breath too. yum! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chowtime.gif) fast forward, 5 hours later, i'm back home and i feel fine right now. initial test results are looking fairly good except my blood pressure was waaay high. they took x-rays too. i'll get more details tomorrow, but it looks like my heart was trying to tell me something for the last 18 month, but i didn't listen ... so, if you have similar things happen to you, take my advice and "listen to your heart" ... don't put it off like it did. scared the shit out of me ...

I'm glad you didn't come to work on your car. Better to be in a familiar place when stuff like that happens. Happy to hear it wasn't anything major. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) i'm still waiting for the final results, but yeah, i'm glad i wasn't on the road somewhere alone or at the shop, that would have sucked even more ... fingers crossed ...
