I'm downstairs on the lap top and it's 3:39AM . . . been up for a while. Thinking about my health. I felt slightly nauseated, still do on and off; had to get up for the bathroom at 9:30, 10:30 and again before coming down here. I keep running over symptoms of flu . . . scaring myself that it could be my heart.
I have looked online for heart attack symptoms. I really don't have shortness of breath and I haven't had. I haven't had any shooting pains or any sustained pains in either arm or my neck or shoulders. I haven't been dizzy or cold sweating.
I do have a heaviness in my chest, right where my sternum is, and, plenty of heartburn. I have a lot of burping. The cough I had from the cold was never "horrible" but never went away completely. I have a lingering cough of "hem-hem" to loosen phlegm (there's never a lot; it's always clear).
I sort of have the feeling I'm going to puke, but I fight that sort of thing from happening as long as I can. In the past, when I have puked, it pretty much comes so hard I get red spots all over my face and neck. It's not pretty.
They say if you think it's your heart, go to the ER. There's no pain, just that one symptom of something tight in my chest, yet my breathing and heart rate seem normal. Otherwise I feel pretty good.
My mind and all the thinking it gets up to sends me into tailspins. Everyone else is asleep and I know if I woke Chief he would just ask me, "Do you want me to take you up to Tripler?" If I felt that way, I would wake him up. So, I don't wake him up.
I'm going to call and make a doctor's appointment, though, and we'll go from there.
In the mean time, I'm wide awake and desiring to sleep . . . but I remember I had coffee in the late afternoon . . . which is likely the root of my problem to begin with.
UPDATE: I think I have a stomach bug. I feel wretched. Had a banana and been drinking water. The Oreck vacuum bags will have to wait, among the other things. But, it is really all small trifles. I'll get well, then think about going out to tackle things that can wait. In the mean time, I reckon I'll make myself comfy on the sofa and watch telly, begin reading Two Towers and get lost in getting well. Teenie is ready for school, but complaining of a sour stomach. Aha! There's some bug about! P'raps I won't be home alone, which makes me feel better, but then, I feel terrible she's not up to snuff.

Hope you are feeling better this morning. Maybe it was just a bad dream that you don't remember...I'm hoping that is all it is (because I have more bad dreams when I am sick). So glad to have won! I've been thinking about those kisses since you mentioned them a few months back. I love all things coconut (used to have some coconut perfume...)but don't stress over anything on my account. And it's cool enough here that if they melted in HI, they'd be solid by the time they got to my door!
Hope you are feeling better this morning and get to take a nap today. We are headed out to Mass and then to do some fall shopping for the kiddos. I'll call you later.
I have had alot of indigestion this past year or two. I think for me, ..I hope, anyway, its the whole coffee and not enough water through the day..not enough exercise and eating too much for someone who sits far more than she should. I was thankful that before I read your post that I had gotten my walk done with my Leslie Sansone tape...it just sorta helped knowing that I had done that before reading about sickness.
I think you are probably fine..
you know girl, you've had alot of change in your life recently and that has to affect us until we get settled. Our nerves can do alot of things and sometimes we don't really think we are feeling that way..its kind of hidden, ya know?
I'm praying that this is all it is and you get some good sleep and improve soon. :) Love and prayers....Suz
oh my, do you feel better this morning?!?! i sure hope so! if you don't...you DEFINATELY need to go see a dr. no need taking any risks. and i hope you can get some rest to make up for being up all night! take care :)
Praying you feel better very soon!
Hope you feel better soon! I had a sour stomach last night too - must have been sympathy pains!I know it's from lack of exercise and too much coffee.
I hope you're feeling better! How scary that must have been. Praying for health in your house.
I hope you're feeling better soon!
Heart attacks are no fun at all. My dad had one 4 years ago now I think it was. It was at my fiancee's hockey game, so I had to drive him to the hospital. Not a good night at all.
But he had pain and numbness.
I'll pray for you.
Prayers that you are feeling better soon and it is nothing to be worried about!!!
Sarah, hope you are feeling much better by now. Take good care of yourself. Sending up a prayer for you.
I hope you feel better soon! Take care of yourself!!
Aw man! Prayers...you must either be catching up on sleep or still not feeling well at all. Yes, I promise some prayers, here. :) Hugs.
hope you are feeling better sarah. anxiety can give you that feeling in your chest. i get that from time to time. take care of yourself. drink lots of water and vitamin c. there seem to be "bugs" everywhere so you are not alone in that sense. but it surely doesn't make it any easier.
prayers.
xo.
