After I was gung ho to get back on track with my health I went for a 6km walk with my family. I came home and had such awful pain in my chest. Knew I wasn't having a heart attack but I knew something was wrong. I sat on the sofa had a glass of water and tried to review my studies of the cardiovascular system and the respiratory system. I was coming up blank and the pain was getting worse, it became hard to breath. I decided it was time to go to the hospital.
I was admitted at 11:30 pm, I was there for a few days. I had aspirin and IV was started right away. I had blood taken 5 times while I was there. I had an ECG (electrocardiogram), an x-ray, a cat scan, the test where they inject you with dye, And an Echocardiogram. All of the tests came back good except for the Echocardiogram, I am waiting to hear what my doctor has to say. Hopefully its nothing to worry about. I almost had to stay in the hospital but I explained how badly I needed to get home to my children and assured them I would take it easy.
Everyone seemed to have different ideas about what it could be. I'm just glad they didn't tell me something really bad. I was calm and stayed distracted until the wee hours of the morning when I sat there (because I couldn't lay) and thought about my 4 babies a home.
I hope this doesn't knock me too far off track or delay my health mission too much. It sure has made me realize how important it is to be a strong and healthy mom.
