Spent today in the ER for possible heart attack. I’m ok. But it was scary. Called emergency line with doc, I woke up in a puddle of sweat and was chilling and hot flashing every 30 minutes but had no fever and had chest tightness. Nurse said call 911 NOW. Hate my first thought was about ambulance $

Omg this is terrifying! I am glad you weren’t having a heart attack however i am sad that you were that poorly that this whole thing was necessary. Hopefully you will be in the mend soon. *hugs*

I’ve never felt this intensely bad outside of kidney stones. The good news is that outside of unaffiliated security guard my local hospital (which I was born in!) treated me VERY well. Kaiser wanted me to go to one 14 miles away like, bitch is it an emergency or not? Ambulance would take me local

Yeah the security was ridiculous! Please, when you feel up to it, register a complaint with the hospital patient advocate. They need to update their rules for the security team. Maybe not hosp staff but must have a contract. this is liability for the hosp. They’ll care if their money is threatened.
