On Thursday/Friday last week I started to have pain in my arm again and then my chest (under my left breast) and it's started radiating all over basically, to my upper left back and center of my chest. It's not an excruciating pain, in fact, it's different at different times. It goes from an ache, to like a stab, almost like if you have a catch, to small localized spots.
I went to the ER again yesterday and they did an ECG/Chest X-Ray (again) and said it all looked good and sent me home. Pain actually got worse at a point yesterday evening and I took two Ativans and went to sleep. Today I called my cardio and the nurse was cool, moved my Echo from Mid-February to today (2:30 Est); I'm obviously so anxious it's absurd, but I feel like when this is done I'll have exhausted all the things I can do and finally begin accepting this is anxiety...or dealing with whatever is causing it.
Wish me luck; I'm not religious, but if you are and want to pray, that'd be okay to. I'm really scared they'll say something is super wrong and I won't be allowed to come home, as unlikely as that is based on my previous EKGs and stuff, it feels so real now that it's manifested into any kind of recognizable pain.
