Ugh what a mess of a night. I went to the ER after a day of shortness of breath and then I got some bad chest pains I figured I should get looked at. It was 3PM so I expected the ER to be empty but it was crowded. I waited for an hour while multiple people got called back who came in after me. Finally I got called back to a little doctors exam room with an exam table instead of a bed. The doctor asked what was up. I told him. They had done an EKG at check in. It was ok my pulse was 108 though. They gave me fluids for the pain and dizziness. They did a chest xray and bloodwork. Said according to the bloodwork I am at an increased risk for a blood clot but the xray was normal. I left with a script for a pain med. I later realized I probably just overused my new weighted vest and 22 pounds of weighted blankets is too much. I wish I had thought of that before I went. My blood doctor and endocronolgist just have me so freaked out about blood clots. But anyways at least they were nice besides the nurse who was explaining triage to my mom and said "if this was the miltiary we wouldnt even waste time on him" jeeze thanks. Anyways I'm at home and I've taken the meds I didn't take before I left and I am under my new blanket and it is so nice and I am exhausted from the ER and I didn't sleep very well either last night.
