I was working away yesterday and during the afternoon developed a strong pain in the centre left of my chest
dropped the lads off then went home (it was our 10th wedding anniversary)
the missus says "how are you?"
to which i replied "not good ,chest pains"
her mum then said "omg we have been to 2 funerals already this week" (cheers for that mum in law)
so off to the Luton and Dunstable hospital
I have just been released now after a full battery of tests,when i say full i mean like every hour during the night they were checking ecg,blood sugar,blood pressure,pulse etc
they also did an xray, a stress test (walking on a treadmill whilst wired up) and an enzyme test
the final outcome??
i have pulled an intercordial muscle apparently this is 1 of a number of muscles that entwine your rib cage.
yay result!
but i have to say that every person nurse doctor consultant that i dealt with was outstanding and for me anyway it was a humbling experience being in the company of these people
they deserve maximum praise from me anyway
LLL
Had similar from machine driving, think its from the left arm being almost parallel with your shoulder most of the day.
Nothing the doctor can do, just grin and bear it, plenty of paracetamol and brufen.
Had a similar experience a couple of years ago. After a trip to the jon, I had an alarming movement, bright red and crimson water.
Keeping my head I mulled over what to do, will writing, who was going to have what etc.
Sat the wife down and explained what had happened and how a trip to the docs was probably academic. Cool as a cucumber she said 'Oh well, that will teach you to stuff yourself on beetroot'
