    Nighttime scare

    A couple of weeks ago, I woke up at about 3 AM. The thoughts in my head were approximately:

    Grumble, grumble, grumble... Dammit, my CPAP machine noise is bugging me. And my freakin' chest aches.

    Wait, my chest aches? I have chest pain? I HAVE CHEST PAIN?!?!?!?!?!!!!!

    OMG, PANIC! Sit up and PANIC!!!!

    Beeeeeeeeeeeeelllllllllllllllllllcccccccchhhhhhh.. ...

    Ahh, that feels better. No more chest pain.

    ... OK, so how the heck do I get back to sleep after that???



    TD;DR: Woke up thinking I had a heart attack, turned out to be gas.
    “There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged.
    One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world.
    The other, of course, involves orcs." -- John Rogers

      However, a large number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced.

        Glad it was just gas, but I hope that belch didn't get caught in your CPAP!
        "I look at the stars. It's a clear night and the Milky Way seems so near. That's where I'll be going soon. "We are all star stuff." I suddenly remember Delenn's line from Joe's script. Not a bad prospect. I am not afraid. In the meantime, let me close my eyes and sense the beauty around me. And take that breath under the dark sky full of stars. Breathe in. Breathe out. That's all."

          You know, Dexter's Lab had a story that was a bit similar for one of their episodes... Except it was a different sort of gas... (Possible NSFW?) https://youtu.be/vj78ypO5xSc?t=28s
