Anxiety.
Thought I'd post this here since I haven't posted in a while:
For a few weeks now I haven't been in the best shape.
My chest had been hurting, and I didn't know why. (But it was only a slight pain, so I thought nothing of it)
Monday night my arm went numb...
Monday night I felt like throwing up...
Monday night I did something I had never done before... I gasped for air.
Monday night I did something I hadn't done in years... I went to the hospital.
Monday night I had a panic attack, it was a first for me, and I hope my last.
An ambulance came and I was taken to UCH.
I waited 3 and a half hours (not bad for a hospital visit, especially since they had Scrubs playing in the background... and my Mom, my brother and Bylli were all there for me.)
The nurse made me realize that I'm not as nervous as a lot of people, including a nurse at UCH. When she was drawing blood from me she was telling me to calm down, meanwhile everyone was calm but her. (God I hope she doesn't read this ;) I say this like we exchanged information, we didn't, but I know some people like searching for themselves online, and I suppose she might be known as "crazy UCH nurse" to a lot of people so eventually she'll get the hint and search for herself under that.)... and everyone was also not as messy as her, she left a ton of trash on my bed.
At the hospital they talked about putting me on Xanax... Now I want you all to picture me on Xanax. My eyes would be permanently closed.
I was sent home by 6:30 AM, and I was incredibly sleepy from the medicine they gave me.
Today I went to the doctor, and guess what... I'm not crazy! Nope, I just have inflamed lungs! Woo! Caused by the flu I had a few weeks ago and probably the fact that I play trumpet and sing a lot. So they gave me some steroids and painkillers and I should be better in a couple days.
Thought I'd let you all know that. I am okay and I love you all :)
