Inky's blog: "Need To Knows"

UPDATE: I am finally home(Friday), Dr came in and told me everything... so Tuesday night i had a migraine coming on so i took my imitrex, well about 30 minutes later, i started to get shooting pains in my head and my jaw locked up and my chest started to tighten up. well i didn't think anything of it.. (yea stupid me) and i just went to bed. well the next day the pain was still there... so i went to the er (Wednesday).... they admitted me asap... they thought i was having a heart attack SO.... they hooked me up to an iv.. gave me morphine and nitro and had to inject me with blook thinners so my blood wouldn't clot and put me on a 12 lead EKG. the morphine wasn't working so they had to go stronger.. and they had to take me to xray... at this time.. my BP was 168/116 and my heart rate was 125, i had a fever. they had to give me a bettablocker.. if i spelt that right... well they got my heartrate down BUT it also got my blood pressure way down... tooo low ... it was 78/54. and at this time i wasn't aloud to move... hell i had to call the nurses if i wanted to tinkle... the next day they did an echo on my heart because they thought i had blood clots in my lungs... then today (Friday) they told me what happen.. so when i took the imitrex it triggered a panic attack, and when my heart was racing like it was and when i tensed up with the attack.. it brusied the muscle wall on the inner part of my chest wall, hence the chest pain....... they told me i need bed-rest.. but that isn't going to happen at all where i live...
