I started watching and had to stop - I couldn't stand it.

I read the Watch And Post on Daily Kos after the fact.

Yeah, that's pretty much what I did. Daily Kos is declaring Hillary the winner; some are suggesting that Trump was on something - coke, perhaps. I'll read the newspaper reports (dead tree version) when I get home - can't really face the news first thing in the morning (except the weather report, which is necessary).

I keep wondering why the Clinton campaign, in the face of Trump going on and on about jobs leaving America, never seems to talk about the fact that he hires people from Eastern Europe to work at his resorts, rather than hiring local people. And a while ago there was some reporting on his modeling agency (and possible new wife recruitment?) bringing in models from Eastern Europe and they were working without the appropriate visas.

Okay, about 45 minutes ago I had a sudden sharp pain and pressure in the right side of my chest that hurt so badly and lasted long enough that, if it had been on the left side of my chest (because, heart) I would have called 911.

I've been googling, and hilariously, the internet thinks I have a collapsed lung. But I'm not having a hard time breathing or anything. And I have WAY too much shit to do and possibly a low tire on the car in the driveway.

Yes, I would tell ALL of you to at least go to urgent care with this if you posted that you had a sudden sharp pain and pressure in your chest. I'm just trying to justify not going. Also, I haven't showered in 2 days and I don't want to go to urgent care all stinky.

I am ridiculous.

Is it possibly acid reflux? I used to think I was having a heart attack all the time. I'd say take some tums and see if it gets a little better in 10 minutes. If not, call your doctor or go to urgent care.

I'm gonna agree with sj here.

Does acid reflux pain happen over on the right side? Like, WAY over? It's not close at all to the left side, or even the center. But I have Tums, and I might as well try it.

It's probably nothing. Just a weird...something. I'm pretty lightheaded, but that's probably stress. Or I need to eat something. It was probably just a weird anomaly.

Was it possibly like a side stitch or spasm of the chest muscle? They can really hurt.

Well, Tums didn't change anything. I texted Tim and he called and when I told him what happened, he said that's what happened when his lung collapsed (pain, pressure, lightheadedness with any exertion). But that's statistically improbable. That I have a collapsed lung, too. That would be ludicrous.

I guess it could be a spasm of the chest muscle. It still feels like a big fat man is pushing down on my chest, though, and there's a weird pain in the same spot (um, latitude-wise, I mean) on my back, like under my shoulder blade.

Steph, I have had those stabbing pains from acid reflux all over. They would often be sharp enough that they would trigger panic attacks. My doctor pointed out that the digestive system snakes everywhere.
