Had a bit of a scare yesterday

Didn't post it last night as I was still calming down from it.
My wife called me from her work and said to come get her, she was having pain in her chest and it was getting worse. I left work and took her to the doctor. Luckily everything is all right. Still don't know the cause of the pain but the heart is ok. We are thinking maybe and anxiety attack.

Wow. Scary. Glad, so far, so good.
Did they rule out P.E.(Pulmonary Embolus)? Blot clot in the artery to the lungs?
Make sure.
Someone on FGI(Mack? not sure.) Bad situation. Almost died
Keep an eye on her. I've been in medicine 18 years, and I've seen/heard more problems from people ignoring symptoms.
Good luck.

They did an EKG and it was normal. This morning she seems to be pain free. She did not have any injuries or changes to anything. When she was lying down it seemed to be better. We'll just see how the day plays out. They did give her a pain killer. Hard to tell what it could be in a 33 year old woman.

Recent baby? Birth control pills? Smoker?
All 3 are major contributors in women of that age group developing DVT, which is the leading cause of PE.

No, no, and no. She says her rib cage feels heavy today but it does not hurt. |

Hmmm. Medical mystery for sure. I just conferred with a colleague, Dr. House. He specializes in these types of mysteries.
We'll need to run a full blood panel, cultures, CBC, chem. 7, lites, type and cross, check LFTs, enzymes. EKG has been done, so we can skip that. Chest x-ray, Ct chest, Brain MRI, cardiac adenosine stress test, echo cardiogram, carotid arterial dopler ultrasound and lung perfusion study.
This will take some time, we'll get back to you if anything turns up.

Are you also a 33 y/o female on birth control, who smokes? I may need to run some tests. |

when i had this (26 y/o male, non smoker, asthmatic,no prior history of heart issue, no family history of heart issues other than one paternal gradmother in extreme old age with congestive h.f.) they determined it was due to dehydration induced pulse irrythmia , a complication of extreme dehydration from the flu. it set us back many thousand $. hopefully this isn't the case for you (sounds like it isnt)
