Demons2011 replied to jaws86's response:
This may sound mad as in crazy, but I have had one panic attack in my life. Chest hurt like hell, swear I could hear the heart beat in my ears, felt very light headed going down the Interstate around 75mph. Of course in the middle of no where- about 50 miles from any real help. Don't know why - but forced my self to start laughing until I couldn't stop laughing. Had to look like an idiot. Or try a paper bag, like for hyperventilation.

Demons2011 replied to jaws86's response:
Jimmy, your a nurse you know the physical signs that are present in every heart attack - out side of the chest pain, are any other the others present. If yes get to ER via ambulance. If no, you know it's not a heart attack correct?

I know too much medical knowledge, so much it scares me. Its not a heart attack, but when you panic, all reason goes out the window.

Demons2011 replied to jaws86's response:
Just reminding you of what you know. For sure, one heck of lot more than me. How you feeling? Don't know your age, but is the heart a real issue in your family?

Demons2011 replied to jaws86's response:
Never a problem. It's one of the things I never do - panic during a crisis. After words, I'm the one needing the paper bag.

Glad that's all it was, Jimmy. You need to remember that one along with sleep.
