when I fall...

[solar]

I had a hell of a scare today at work... collapsed at work, chest pains radiating out to my arms, back and jaw.

Within 5 minutes, an ambulance was on the way, I was helped to the office, and my aftrnoon classes were covered (I am a school teacher, remember).

The office manager stayed during the tests and such, my boss also stayed for a bit...

(Thankfully, not a heart attack...but I am in bad shape)

Yikes. Gonna be okay?

Something similar happened to my girlfriend last year (without the collapse or paramedics). She had pretty much all of the females symptoms of a heart attack. Thankfully, not her heart.

At this stage, it looks like my heart is good and the pain was severe reflux - so now to find what caused that.

My workmates are awesome!

Glad your girlfriend was okay!

Eh... I didn't say she's okay, just that it wasn't her heart. She'll live... but she might not like it.

But good news on your part! Reflux is sooooo much easier to deal with than "Hey, a big chunk of your heart just died."

I would've freaked out. Chest pain ain't no joke. I had it recently and it turned out to be a pinched nerve. I'm glad you have something that's treatable and not as serious as heart disease, and that you didn't have customers in the traditional sense of the word, 'cause they'd probably complain about the inconvenience.
