Brain dump/feeling sort of silly

[justjen]

That sounds like a smart decision to me. Better safe than sorry!

Feel better!

Always better safe than sorry! Hope you feel better soon.

Don't feel silly! Intense chest pain is not something you avoid having checked out! I'm glad you're okay.

I agree, better safe than sorry. With your dad's health history & the various ways that heart issues can present themselves, it's a good idea to get checked.

If it makes you feel better, I once went to the doctor (thankfully not the ER!) for pains in my chest. The diagnosis? A strained muscle in my chest. The culprit? Wedding gowns! LOL. I was in a bridal show & had to change in and out of like 9 wedding gowns in a show (about 3 minutes from time off stage to getting back on). Between that & carrying bags of multiple gowns, I managed to strain a muscle. Oh, and the doctor is a family friend, so I had to see him again.

Do NOT feel bad! Those are actually symptoms of heart attacks in women, and so many ignore the signs because of "feeling silly". So glad yours was nothing but it is always better to follow up!

Hope you are feeling better.

You did the right thing and I'm like the last person on the planet to rush to the dr.

I was just reading the other day how heart issues in women can display issues similar to heartburn. So you are not entirely off base.

My mom also ended up in ER for what she thought was strong indigestion. She ended up gallbladder out.

You did the smart thing; don't feel bad. I hope you're feeling better!

I agree you did the right thing. Chest pain in women can be so different and it's better to go. I work in a hospital and see a lot worse things come into the ER. Don't feel bad at all.

Hope your feeling better
