Thanks all for the well wishes. I slept for about 12 hours and now feel totally normal again.
It was suggested that stress could've also played a role in the not-a-heart-attack attack. (Stressed? Who, me?) So I think I need to find some cheap de-stressing activities.
Sounds like they did the full court press with you, so it shows they it took it seriously...
It was weird. Everyone seemed very calm and I was thinking that meant it was probably nothing and they were going to send me home soon. Then the ER doctor came over and, still quite calm, said, "We're very concerned and want to run a million tests and probably admit you for the night."
On the bright side, I've meaning to schedule a physical. Since they ran every test imaginable, including stuff a GP would never do, I can probably put that off for a little while now.
Yikes, Kristen! I'm glad everything turned out okay.
Please to not be collapsing anytime in the near future, Kristen!

They probably find it's not a good idea to freak out their heart attack patients even more. I'm glad it wasn't a heart attack, Kristen, and that you're feeling better!

Good idea, because, y'know? This thread title? Wasn't really meant to be a guide to life or anything...

There's a character called Paul, who works for the FBI. Heh.
Kristen, I'm glad you're ok. I strongly suggest finding a nice yoga DVD that you can do at home. Yoga's done wonders for my stress levels.
I'm trying yoga on Saturday! We have an Intro to Yoga class at my gym on the first of every month. My trainer's been pushing me to do yoga for weeks. I need to work on my flexibility.
I will confess that I would much rather be hitting people on Saturday morning but my knee is twitchy so yoga, it is.
There's always pole dancing! I wish I had the energy.
