I had a strange, sharp pain under my left arm, on my ribcage yesterday. It REALLY hurt, and it only lasted for about 15 seconds, but I can't account for it. Before it, I felt fine; after it, I felt fine. No trouble breathing...nothing. Then last night - I don't know what time it was - I was awakened by what I can only refer to as a bursting bubble feeling in the same area - but inside. I can't explain that one, either. It didn't hurt, but it sure felt weird.
It creeped me out enough to get online this morning and look up heart attack signs in women. I had quite a few of them, but I can attribute them to the fact that I've felt so lousy the last week or so. But does one play to the other and/or vice versa?
Hubby would most likely say the culprit is (ahem...) gas - but I don't agree. I don't know why I don't agree, I just don't. He said, "See! I told you you should quit drinking those sodas!" I'm down to drinking 2 sodas per day; I sip one 16 oz diet coke all through the day at work and then I have another after I get home. I've been very good.
Today, as I sit in my chair at work - I feel...and the only way to describe it is...odd. I don't know if I've put myself into a panic or if I'm actually feeling what I'm feeling. I'm fluttery. I've found myself confused a couple of times on very simple things...like counting out how many little card thingies to distribute to our IT department. (A story for another time.)
I feel a bit weak, if you want to know the truth. The "filtered dirt water" (a.k.a. green tea with lemon) I'm drinking has only minimal caffeine. I've only had about 5 sips of my diet coke this morning. I've got a yucky feeling at the back of my throat...
What the H.E. double hockey sticks is going on? I've got a doctor's appointment in two weeks as a follow up to one I had last month, but I wonder if I shouldn't head in today...?
And I've got a butt-load (um...has anyone ever figured out exactly how much a butt-load is?) of stuff to do today and my boss isn't here to sign off on a couple of things that need to go to our A/P department and I still have laundry to do tonight when I get home...
Maybe I'm just tired.
