Well that was strange!

Last night was pizza night.
yes, I only ate the toppings and a big salad.

BUT~ Before I ever got to my dinner... I started to feel pressure in my stomach, like a gas bubble, pain between the shoulders and realized this is a very familiar pain. Comes on with little to NO warning and is so excruciating that I almost had hubby take me to the hospital. He says that it was a panic attack. I told him that I had zero reason to have an attack, zero reason the last time this happened (a few years ago) and to explain to me why after I ate about 10 antacids, the pain went away~ It took about 20 min for it to go away, but it went away.

Now... here is something about myself and pain. I apparently dont feel pain like some people do. This was a 6 on the 1-10 scale, childbirth only ever being where I got to 10. I've had some pain in my body and life before. LOTS of pain. BUT I also understand this pain would have had most people curled into a fetal position and sobbing. This is from my doctor by the way. I am an 'ox' to him. ahahah

Hubby checked my pulse, kept an eye on my breathing and the color of my fingers and lips. I was just in alot of pain. I could breathe fine, it just HURT. Was NOT gallstone pain, I've had that. Was not kidney stone pain, I've had that too. This hurt WORSE than the 3 kidney stones I've passed. I hadn't had anything strange to eat. Last time this happened, I had ONE bite of asparagus that my mom offered me. The pain expanded and blew up. Felt like I needed to burp really bad, but there was NO air coming out!
Once the pain went away, with pepto, I was able to go have a few more bites of asparagus.
Last night, I ate a piece of sausage off off one of the pizzas. ONE.
When i was done with my attack, i was able to go ahead and eat most of my salad and the toppings off of a few pieces of pizza without lasting pain or stomach upset.

now~ I'm sure everyone is going to be sure that I should have gone to the dr because it sounded like a heart attack. Had it moved further, and had my heart been beating strange or not hard enough I would have. I was under close monitor from my husband.

BUT DAMN~ PAIN PAIN PAIN.
