Spent a good portion of the day in the ER. This morning while trying to do some shelving at the library, I developed some significant chest and neck pain, dizziness, and all that fun stuff.

Kettie ran an EKG and decided that I should go into the ER for more tests, so I did. Kristen took me. (Dont think that was in the sponsor manual, but ...)

They ran another EKG, lab work, a test to look for a blood marker for a heart attack, and an MRI of my neck to rule out an embolism. All that looks to be ok ...

... but that doesnt mean Ive not still got a cardiac issue; I just dont have a dangerous one. So I have to go through more tests.

The only thing the ER would say was elevated was my *lithium* level and to discontinue. I called Dr Burke for advice on that as I trust him on psych meds more than anyone, but Im hoping he wont call til tomorrow cause its getting onto 10 pm.

So, yeah .. feel like crap, but all I can do is pain manage, hydrate, and rest for now.

health shit, matthew burke, er, cardiac, kettie
