So you lot must have upset me pretty badly, as I woke up at 3:30 this morning with unbelievable chest pain and shortness of breath. It was unlike anything I have ever had before. Having called the ambulance, I am now sitting in hospital waiting for a chest X-ray, and for my bloods to come back.

It is unlikely to have been a heart attack, but pretty scary for a while.

😯

Hope it’s nowt serious. Good luck.

Blimey fella. That’s no way to start a weekend.

Hope your ok

Ouch! Take care there…

Must have been the terrifying pumpkin thread? Here is hoping that one massive fart later, you can have a giggle about epic indigestion.

Post ride Kebab? Hope all is ok! 😀

Oh no, fingers crossed for you.

Large cat on chest?

That must be really scary. Hope everything turns out ok.

Had something similar a while back, rushed to Manchester Royal for potential heart surgery, given work up & told all clear from heart attack.
Then taken to Bury General & given full going over, told “we can’t find anything wrong but do you know you have a very low heart rate?” (44bpm)

Turned out it was a reaction to too much ibuprofen use (attacking my stomach lining) and a minor chest infection. My heart rate fooled the ambulance machine into delivering a heart attack verdict!

Hope yours is just as silly!

Good luck mate but try not to be I’ll during half term

Gall stones?

IANAD

Best of luck!

hope all clear comes soon for you..spent way to much time in hospital this year. worst bit is your ready too leave but have to get the ok from the doc seems to take forever and always at 10pm.

Fingers crossed it nothing serious James.
At YOUR age though ..

You’ve OD’d on salted peanuts, haven’t you? 😉

Fingers crossed for you. Get well soon.

Lots of supportive thoughts heading your way. Hope it goes well!

Does you poo smell of pear drops. You might of gay.

Hope all’s well fella.

Get well soon.

(bad) Cat AIDS ?

Our cat died of that but the vet said it does not cross species. Nor does my poo smell of pear drops . Get well soon.

Hope its nowt serious and your back home safe and sound before you know it.

Typical INTP…

Hope it’s nothing major.

Well, I am back home now, having been treated very well by the dear folk of the NHS.

All tests were clear, so they are confident neither contracted Cat-AIDS nor had a heart attack. The consultant was concerned about the pain I experienced, but I will go see the GP early this week to talk about what it could have been.

I was wondering about panic attack, but I’ll start a separate thread on that.

Thanks to all of you for your words. They kept me good company over the course of the day. And miketually: I couldn’t agree more. 🙂

I would suggest it’s unlikely to be a panic attack if you woke up with it… Most panic attacks have a trigger. (unless you were having a nightmare I suppose….).

Usual internet diagnostic limitations apply.

Wot he said, a panic attack during sleep ? Is that normal ? Sure it wasn’t a really bad case of indigestion ?
