I'm in the emergency room. I had overwhelming chest pain while driving. Will let everyone know more later.
Eta: just had a CAT scan. [I think Texaco Mike will do the reading.] They're more concerned about a possible pulmonary embolism than a heart attack. I should probably mention that Dad had TB.
Eta2: I am ensconced in a hotel. 7 hours in ER. No scarring on my lungs. No calcification in my heart. I already have a Primary Care appoint in 2 weeks, which I've been told is soon enough for a follow-up. I have a heavy duty Pepcid prescription.

but also chest pains in people our age is generally an express-lane pass into the ER. I assume they did an EKG right away, too, & that it was ok-enough?
