I just got home from the ER
Been having dull chest pains right and left daily for a couple weeks. Today at school decided I needed an ekg. School nurse said go to the ER now. Called a local ER option in town they said go to the ER so reluctantly I went to the ER. Lots of poking and tests all of which came out positive and they sent me home. I was there an hour and the bill was 4000.00 my share was 440.00. I will admit the govt finally did something right and they have to show you the exact bill before you go home and they are tied to it.
I guess knowing my heart is ok is worth 440.00 after worrying about it for two weeks is worth it. |

You threw me for a second. Usually medical tests coming back positive is exactly what you don't want.

Sounds like $440 well spent, never ignore your body when its trying to tell you something... luckily this was a false alarm

Glad to know everything's OK. Keep alert for those symptoms though.

I had a scary time that made me go to the er a few years ago. I was having chest pains and after getting on the internet (do not do this) all the symptoms started. Woke my wife up at some early morning hour and told her to take me to the er. Turned out I had arthritis in my sternum or what is called the breast bone between the rib cages. Now I don't know if it is the arthritis or a heart attack. Lucky me.

Did they do a stress test?
Because if they didn't, please go get one. Ask me how I know. |

I had virtually the same thing OP has been having. Sharp pains in the heart, been happening for a few weeks now. Went in and got an EKG, x-ray, blood work...everything came back great. Wore a heart monitor for 48 hours, it came back just fine. My wife wants me to do a stress test as well. What did it catch that these other ones might have missed?
