A to Z Challenge 2012 ~~E is for Emergency Room...again





They love us there.

            I think that's why we go there so often...that has got to be the reason.



                      They rolled out the red carpet....

                        Yes we' are famous there.


Just wish we didn't have to be there so often.




Last night my Mom complained of chest and stomach pains. The Doc advise quite wisely to get her to the E.R.  ASAP.

You see Heart Attack symptoms can be very very different in women

                              Symptoms like


Shortness of breath -may occur with or without chest discomfort.

Nausea and light-headedness

Flu-like symptoms, including chills and cold sweats

Heart Palpitations

Chest discomfort (angina): Pain, tightness or pressure in the center of the chest that lasts more than a few minutes, or that goes away and comes back.

Discomfort in other areas, including pain or discomfort in: one or both arms ( especially the left arm), the back, between the shoulder blades, neck, Jaw or Stomach.

Heartburnor indigestion

Extreme fatigue

Prior to a heart attack women have felt...

Unusual fatigue

sleep disturbances
shortness of breath

indigestion

anxiety
                                                                                   




These can all mean something is very very wrong. So if you feel any of these symptoms...better safe than sorry; go to the doctor or ER.


It was 3am before they let my mom go home after a battery of different tests. No evidence of a heart Attack, and no blood clots; so that means today it will be another follow-up with her regular doctor....



                  We're famous there too.......unfortunately
