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.

If you're not in the Cardiac ICU things are already going better than I feared

YIKES!!

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?

Thank goodness. I'm sorry about the pain and hope there's a trivial remedy. You've already had to make so many lifestyle changes.

Pepcid, eh? So it's fucking gastic reflux, and I guess the YIKES bp was due to stress of worrying if you were going to die

Yeep. I'm glad you're still alive and probably going to be okay.

Looking back, you did have a very stressful four or five weeks.
