(536 posts)ER and I am so glad I did. I had felt like my heart was racing and a few other symptoms for a couple of days and I kept thinking it would get better. Of course it was uppermost in my mind so my stress level was probably going way up. I decided I would call and get a doc appointment in the morning. I tried going to bed and I felt so uneasy, I got dressed and went to the ER. Turns out it was just a very fixable gastrointestinal issue. They did a bunch of tests and I was able to go home 5 hours later. The nurse and the doctor both kept telling me that I did the right thing, that that is what they are there for and to never hesitate to get things checked out. These last few days I have felt such glorious relief. It is scary when symptoms crop up and it is scary how our minds start imagining all kinds of scenarios. It is not easy to take the leap and you try tricking yourself saying ohh its probably nothing, itll go away. Please go get checked and let us know how you are. We care! Hugs to you. 🩷
