My ER Visit
 

It all started yesterday when my stomach was hurting after school. So I went and took a nap. I woke up a few hours laters with my chest around my heart hurting, it felt like I was having a heart attack. I went back to sleep cause I needed sleep, I woke up again it was hurting the middle of my chest. I just blew it off and said forget it, so back to sleep I go. Then this morning I had to do bell ringing for the Salvation Army for my scholarship so I did that for my hour I had to do and then I went to the ER. They stuck me in my right arm, no luck then stuck me in my left arm and no luck so I told them to stick me in forearm, finally got it there. (I got baby viens, I was 1lb and 5 months early) Anyway they drew 6 tubes of blood and gave me some pain medicine, then I went for an x-ray and they said that I had two broken ribs that occured along time ago which I didn't know. I think that happened from an asthma attack I had along time ago and never knew it. Then I went down for a CAT scan to see if I had a bloodclot and negative on that. It was the first time I had iodine in my system, I was cold the whole time I was at the ER, then when they put that iodine in me and it set my black ass on fire to the point to where I started singing Charlie Daniel's-The Devil Went Down To Georiga! :lol: :lol: I was there for about 3 hours :roll: They told me that it was chest wall pain. I pulled it up online and found out it's caused from prolong coughing which I do cough alot and I also pulled up broken ribs and it's caused by violent coughing which I do when I'm having an asthma attack so that is probably where my two broken ribs came from. Talk about along day! Glad to be out of there.

Glad you're okay.

Thank you so am I, glad it's not a blood clot or pnuemonia for sure!

that Iodine is some scary stuff, be there done that, MRI are fun like having someone jack hammer on your head. Double glad to see you are filling better, could be the pain killer though, Take it easy.

Thank you, the doctor doing the Cat scan told me the symptons were mild to severe cardiac arrest, I was like GREAAAAAAAAAT lol I feel much better though, I don't know how this medicine will affect me if it'll make me tired or higher than a damn kite! :lol: I rather be higher than a kite instead of tired, the kids at school are gonna wonder what happened to me. :lol:

Yeah that reminds me of when I had to get my knee stitched back together that nurse that was there was hot.

I hope you get better..!

I tore my cartlige between 2 ribs one time from putting a plug in a tire, then a few years later, did it in the same place from coughing.

I'm in a catch 22 here, I'm prescibed pain pills for my chest. And I got school and I was told to take 3 for 4 days or as needed. I may have to miss Monday and Tuesday since I can't have pain pills at school. Honestly I'd much rather stay at home instead of going to school to keep my chest pains to a minimal anyway, rather be safe than sorry.
