I feel awful they are sending an ambulance.

I hope she's ok.?

I hope so too. Beginning to look like she might not be though.

Anyone sent a PM to starblaze?

Also, anyone waiting for an ambulance while alone, must make sure to have the front unlocked.

Just to pick up on this - if you're really ill and can't get to your front door do not delay calling an ambulance; they will be able to gain entry with the help of the police/fire service.

I know someone who delayed calling 999 when he was having a stroke because he was worried about the front door and was waiting for his daughter to return home.

I did pm her. No reply ?

I am really worried and I hope she is ok

Does anyone have contact with her IRL?

Is she elderly?

She could still be having tests.

I'm so so sorry everyone

I am a she!

I had a couple of glasses and a few too many chocolates at my work do, it was afternoon so not over the top. I had a lot of pain in my chest and my neck which was why I thought indigestion.

I haven't had a heart attack but it wasn't indigestion either. I had an SVT attack that lasted about 36 hours, this is all very new so bear with me. When the ambulance came my heart rate was 190. In hospital I had my heart stopped and started 3 times before they could finally get it under control. I had to be stable for 24 hours before I was allowed home as they were worried my heart would fail. There was talk of getting me straight into surgery but they have decided now I should wait till in the new year. I will be having a minor heart surgery to cauterise off a little piece of heart muscle. I had actually been having short episodes for a while but just thought it was panic attacks. Happened quite often at night where I woke with my heart racing and I put it down to bad dreams as it didn't last long.

Once again I am so sorry, I really wasn't very with it and feeling quite dizzy and sick. I thought I was wasting the ambulances time and resources.

I'm taking tablets in the meantime and I feel dreadful and very very tired. I have never been so terrified and thought I was dying a few times.

If I don't catch up soon, Merry Christmas everyone.

Yayyyyyyy you are back! So relieved you will still annoy us (wink wink)!

Starblaze how scary for you, I hope you are going to rest and take things easy whilst waiting for your operation

Grannygravy said it all, take care now Starblaze

Thank you for giving an update Starblaze. Must have been very scary for you.
Hope you have a peaceful Christmas, and are restored to rude health after surgery.
Thank goodness for paramedics.

Good to hear from you, glad you are home, relax and if you don't catch up happy holidays to you, too-

Well now you know you did exactly the right thing calling the ambulance and I hope you would do just the same in future.
So pleased you are back home and I wish you a very speedy recovery from the procedure.

Oh huge relief Starblaze so glad you’re home (if a bit scared). Rest up now. Have a happy Christmas. x

Good job you didn't take elastic's advice

A nasty scare but now you know what you are dealing with. Hope you were planning a quiet Christmas?
