Scary Night!
Woke up the night before last at 2:00 am with chest pains, centered heart area.
Went to St. Francis Cardiac med. ctr. Fearing a possible heart attack they rushed me in, did x-rays, blood work and so on. Two hours later they found that I had strained muscle tissue in my chest. Probably did it mountain biking on a run and carry. No cause for alarm and heart was perfect. A scary night to say the least and my first visit to an ER in 15 years. R. |

Scary Night!
How could they possible tell you had a strained chest muscle? They were just
guessing. If the pains came on suddenly, you may have had muscle cramps in the chest. That's different than a strain. The cramps would then be caused by an electrolyte imbalance. The medical tests only indicate selected serum electrolyte levels, not platelet levels. The fact you had cramps so delayed after exercise is indicative of electrolyte imbalance. I'd really consider a stress test and complete blood profile. After natural causes, the next greatest cause of death is the medical practice itself. So go believe what they have told you, you're ok. Really. "Bobsprit" wrote in message ... Woke up the night before last at 2:00 am with chest pains, centered heart area. Went to St. Francis Cardiac med. ctr.

Range of motion test was consistent with muscle tissue damage. I don't smoke, drink or have heart disease in my family. I'm about twice as strong as most humans and have a resting heart rate (tested that eve) of 68. My cholesterold was recently tested at 144. I'm 40 years old. See you in 50 years or so! RB |
Scary Night!
A stress test in the ER? It takes about 2-3 hours just to get the chest
xrays and blood work back. What doctor would give a patient a stress test without knowing the results of the above? Remember, you said it took only two hours for the whole examination to conclude. The range of motion test? Couldn't you do it yourself and figure out you sprained a muscle? Why run to the ER for a sprained muscle that can clearly be shown through a range of motion test? You've been reading Suzzette's nursing book haven't you? No hospital gives a cardiac stress test within hours of reported chest pains. The do a 12 lead ECG, x rays and an enzyme test. Did they do a thorium test too to check for ischemia? Nice try, but your story doesn't add up. "Bobsprit" wrote in message ... How could they possible tell you had a strained chest muscle?

A stress test in the ER? It takes about 2-3 hours just to get the chest
xrays and blood work back. Not when your wife works there. X-rays and bloodwork done in 1 hour. Sorry if you don't like my story. Also sorry that you'd have to wait so long for x-rays. Fearing a possible heart problem, I can't imagine x-rays taking 3 hours. Mine were shot and processed within minutes. The blood work took slightly longer, maybe 50 minutes for results. When I got there there was not a single person in the waiting room. RB |
Scary Night!
The range of motion test? Couldn't you do it yourself and figure out you
sprained a muscle? Nope. I was asked to stretch my arms straight out and back. A nurse pressed at my arms hyperextending them. Can't see how I'd do this myself. Diagnosis: Chest wall pain. Presc. Viox (Rofecoxib). I'll have a followup checkup with my doctor next week. St. Francis is one of the top cardiac treatment centers in the USA. RB |

Hmmm... Bobsprit puts all the assets in wife's name. Wife has access
to pharmaceuticals. Bobsprit begins showing alarming medical symptoms. Has the topic of life insurance been brought up recently? Probably just gas.

So, did this contemplation of mortality change your general
attitude in any way, at least on the day after? Or, are you still the same s.o.b. you always were?? Hmmmm...let me see.... ....... .......... .............. Your mama works as a panty sniffer at K-Mart!!! Nope, same SOB. RB |

Your resting heart rate is no great shakes. Mine is 60 and I'm
significantly older than you. Last time they took mine in an ER (got bit by a f*cking stray cat and my thumb swelled up like a balloon), I was standing when they took it (a busy night at the ER I guess). My bp was 98/65. The nurse couldn't believe it, so after a couple of tries she got some pimply faced intern to try himself. He did it twice with the same result. He asked me if I ran. I said, not unless someone is chasing me. "Bobsprit" wrote in message ... How could they possible tell you had a strained chest muscle? They were just guessing.

Oh yes, and the technician for the stress test just happened to be there at
2 AM up on the second floor next to the O.R. Or did they shoot you up with dobutamine for the stress test? Problems though using the dobutamine to simulate exercise. Oh! Oh! I'm having sudden chest pains! I shall drive myself miles out of the way to where my wife works so I can get emergency treatment! Oh good I'm here! Suzzy will make sure I get the very best treatment. Oh thanks doc, it was just a sore muscle from lifting a 22 pound bike! Or was it a torn muscle from squeezing the brake handle!! "Bobsprit" wrote in message ... A stress test in the ER?

You can hyperextend them by using a towel clenched between each hand with
about two feet of towel in between and rotating your extended arms over your head to behind your back. Are you that flexible? Severe muscle damage from a 22 pound bicycle. Next time get Suzzy or your little sister to lift it. "Bobsprit" wrote in message ... The range of motion test? Couldn't you do it yourself and figure out you sprained a muscle? Nope.

My bp was 98/65.
You sure that that wasn't more indicative of being shocky from the cat = bite? If your finger swelled up, then you obviously had an adverse = reaction to cat saliva which affects the autoimmune system and could = have been a mild case of anaphalaxia. --=20 katysails s/v Chanteuse Kirie Elite 32 http://katysails.tripod.com "Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea." - Robert A.
