Not feeling so great

Yesterday evening I started feeling like I was having a panic attack, but it felt different somehow.  So I called my dad to take me to the ER.  I spent the night there while they ran tests.  Good news is that I didn't have a heart attack and there are no blood clots.  Because I was starting to feel some better this morning the Doctor said I could come home but would have to be in his office in the next week or two for a stress test.  Chances are good that I am just having alot of bad back-to-back panic attacks, but he thinks it is best to go ahead and rule out any beginnings of any type of heart disease.  (there is a ton of heart problems in my parent's families.

I feel better but still lousy.  Then  I opened some of my other email accounts to find over 1000 emails in one and 600 in the other.  Totally forgot that I had signed up for something called "tag wars" for the weekend.  Have never seen so much mail in my life!  I guess I will get it cleaned out sometime.  I have already missed tag deadlines -- but do I care?  Heck no.

Talk to you guys laters.

Don't forget to change your clocks tonight!  Go back an hour!!!!  Yeah, an extra hour of sleep.

Hope they get it all cleared up and there is no heart problems. I am sure the panic attacks are bad enough. One of my daughter takes medication for anxiety so I know it is no laughing matter. I hope you feel better soon. Paula

I am so glad you went to to ER.  Women generally die more than men of heart attack, because they don't think they can have heart attacks.  I am sorry you feel so bad...take care of yourself.

Hope things are ok this morning Kathy.
It really isn't fun being unwell.
Our clocks changed as well last night.

Awwww, I'm sorry to hear you haven't been feeling well. It seems none of the evils that could be causing it are good. After all, having panic attacks isn't necessarily better than the other health woes. As such, I just hope you get plenty of rest, and are comforted soon with good news that it will all be okay.

P.S. I love that picture tag thingy in your sidebar. Very elegant and sheek. I nominated you for one of the graphics related things in the Vivi's and was really disappointed when you didn't get it. But, I guess there are just so many now.
