Hello again, I thought I would give you all an update to what my chest pains were since you were all so kind and helpful.

It wasn't anxiety or a heart problem. I was actually releasing gallstones from my gallbladder. It came about that on 7/21 at 4 a.m. I started to have the crushing pain in my chest and it lasted for 30 minutes, it was so sever I could not breath, sit, or lay down. I was pacing around just trying to relax and I was sure I was having a heart attack. So my husband called 911 and I was taken to the hospital. After an ultrasound they saw the tubes between my liver and intestines were full of gallstones.

So I had to have my gallbladder removed and all the stones, too. But I ended up in the hospital for 2 weeks because I also got pancreatitis from the gallstone removal. I have since learned that gallstones often make people think they are having a heart attack, which is good to know.

Anyway, thanks again and I just wanted to update you on what was actually going on.
