I just came back from going to the Emergency Room again tonight, last time it was for an appendectomy, this time, I thought I had miniature heart attacks. I was feeling these sharp pains a couple times today, and when it happened again tonight after dinner, I immediately went to the hospital.
I was well enough because these sharp pains came and went, so I was feeling normal when I drove to the hospital. I went and checked in, the receptionists were very nice and friendly to me, as they were last time. After I was admitted, the ER doctor came in and did a quick check of my pain area and asked me a series of questions. After the questions and checking my heart and lungs, he came to the happy conclusion that those sharp pains were not from heart attacks at all, but were muscle pains. My family and I were relieved and we were out of there in the next 5 minutes.
I would like to say that from my experiences at Saint Joseph's Hospital in Eureka, CA, they are one of the best, if not the best hospital around and they have excellent doctors and nurses who care for you. This was also a wake up call to me again, that your life could change in a heart beat so cherish every moment that you have, especially with your family and friends.
