I decided to use this thread to explain a couple things that happened since I was in the hospital. That way you all would know what I was talking about .

I did explain in Health Support that I had a Gastro Intestinal doctor appt last week. To make sure the pains werent part of a stomach or esophegeal problem they are doing an endoscopy on Tuesday . Sometimes the stomach and esophegus can spasm which is comparable to the chest pains I was having.

Yesterday I had a cardiologist appt. I redescribed my symptoms to him and he thinks this is mostly caused by angina. Something my dad has had also. Dad also had a heart attack. And Mom had and Dad has..CHF ~Congestive Heart Failure. So because of all of that. He still thinks that if everything turns out ok with the endoscopy that they will still do a heart catherization. I am scared to death because Mom had a bad reaction to the dye for the heart cath. I felt so overwhelmed int the office yesterday that I forgot to ask him about that. He prescribed a couple drugs . One for me to take everyday to help prevent the angina. And the other is the nitroglycerin. I will take that everywhere with me in case it comes on. Which I've had some small bouts of it since coming home from the hospital . But none as bad as that one night.

Thank you everyone who have been asking me how I am doing and supporting me thru this. If I didnt have you guys and my real life friends .. and ok .. my part time husband lol... I would be lost . Your love and continuing support mean so much to me. You are absolutely the best!!!
