yuck... hospitals give me the heebie jeebies

so tonight in the midst of moving and such we decide to take a break and grab some dinner...
we sit down and Aaron?s like has your heart ever hurt..
im thinking.. uh NO... and try to get him to describe the feeling... he says not to worry he just had a random minor chest pain/soreness... and so we proceed to get some food, as soon as the food gets to the table he says he's feeling light headed and just over all NOT good... we were super close to Mt Carmel St Anns so we go to the ER there...

went through the process of getting checked in, normal questions, ekg, lung xrays and all kinds of other pokes and prods...

during this time Aaron felt bad, ok, good, fine, worse, good, bad again... the crappy feeling didn't come back but I think after the crappy feeling the nerves that come with it were there, of course had to be the strong one for him cuz I didn't want him to be freaking out if I was freaking out!

a few hours later with no real progress I told him I HAD to eat something (cuz my sugars get all out of whack) I went to the car and ate some of our packed food from dinner  . . . as soon as I sit in the car I start bawling.. that whole.. ok I can let my guard down thing :p
and I tried to call my sister (which I hated to do since you totally FREAK someone out when you say your at the ER and they feel helpless and want to do something or make it better somehow) anyway she wasn't there so I didn't leave a message...

then I ate some food, pulled my self back together and went back inside...

kind did a lot of sitting around, and convincing Aaron he DID NOT need to feel GUILTY about being ill...

about 3 hours into it he started getting really just miserable being there (kind of like making your self sick from being in a sick place?) and was hyperventilating and just dry heaving and stuff... :| ended up a few minutes later a lil doc guy comes a long and says so yeah.. I think your fine, we can't find anything wrong...
THANK GOD. . . but at the same time makes you worry about why your feeling like poop.

I think overall it may have just been stress and being worn out catching up to him... but the whole time at the hospital I just had the worst thoughts going thru my head

now we?re home, aarons asleep (I think his body just shut down and said I NEED REST) and I tried calling my sister again and no answer :| (she's a frosh on campus, and it's midnight.. who knows what that means :p ) but since she's being a "bad (not really) sister I needed to vent and didn't want to alarm other members of the family without knowing if Aaron wants to tell everyone or let it slide....

sorry for the super long post :| and thanks for reading if you got this far :)

  • Oh no!  I hope he'll be okay. I wonder if maybe he had a panic attack?  I get those from time to time.

    I should give you my number.  You can call me anytime and I'll listen no matter what the time.

    Hugs to you and Aaron!

  • Oh Simi, I'm relieved he's home and resting. So sorry you were dealing with all that. It's sounds really scary. :(
  • Scary!  Maybe you all should take it easy this weekend.  Sounds like anxiety or a panic attack.  Sorry you all are dealing with this. 
  • I'm glad the doctors think he is fine. I hope it was just the stress of moving and not something with his heart.

    Take it easy you guys.

  • Oh no! I hope he's ok. If he's feeling funky today, I'd suggest he go to a family dr.
  • I hope he's OK, maybe it was a really bad case of heart burn??? How scary. Both of you better take it easy this weekend!
  • All the previous posters contributed my theories: heartburn, panic attack, stress/exhaustion from moving....

    I'm sorry that you guys had a bad night and I hope that Aaron is feeling better this morning.

  • Wow, that can be scary! :( I hope he's feeling better and it was just stress or something like that.

    So sorry you guys had such a rough night!!! :(

  • oh simi!  scary.  i'm glad they didn't find anything wrong with him.  you have my number, call me if you ever need anything.
  • Oh wow, that would have scared the crap out of me. I'm glad they couldn't find anything wrong, and hope he continues to feel better.
  • How scary!!!  I hope he's feeling better today and can take some downtime to take care of himself.  ((HUGS))
  • I'm glad he's alright.  It sounds like a panic attack to me too.  My DH dry heaves when he's really stressed.
  • feel better!  I know it is so stressful when someone is in the ER.  Hopefully it doesn't happen again.  Both of you should just rest and relax this weekend, doesn't matter if there is a mess around the house or not.
