I spent last night in ER wasn't sure. Short of breath and wide spread chest pain mostly on left side.

Nitro helped the chest pain but EKG and blood tests not coming back to bad. Just a little off normal. I asked if I could have thrown another clot and they said it was possible but they wouldn't do a cat scan because the treatment wouldn't be any different than what I was already doing.

So now I add cardiologist to my list of specialists I have to see with in the next week. I am not happy about all this and the 3 antidepressants I'm already on are not doing their job!

I need to stop this stressing!! Anyone need to buy a house in the states? I have a good one for sale. It's causing so much stress taking care of 2 houses!!!

      I am on thinners. The ER Dr said it was possible to still throw a clot!! I'm feeling better but I get real short of breath if I do anything. BF tells me not to clean the house but he won't do it. I think I'll start paying someone.

      The cardiologist called yesterday they want to see me and go over tests from the ER I know the second EKG was strange because the tech kept making me do strange things trying to change the rhythm. I think I was in A fib again. I did that when I got the blood clot
