Actually I wrote lesson plans on the board and notified the teacher next door and my principal via text.

Teaching is the only job where you have to call in and leave plans to be dead.

Back when Covid was going on we were writing lesson plans for other classes for teachers who had it bad. Poor kids. Then school got closed down and we pretended that they were learning online. When they came back to school they had no motivation at all. We never should have done that to them, or us. Should have just let everyone get it and go on with life. I got it twice. A few day later I was fine as were most people. Bad deal.

I was on leave for stress and anxiety the first part of Covid. Not sure if you remember that. Kids are so different today. And not for the better.

Now I don't know if it is the arthritis or a heart attack. Lucky me.

I was there an hour and the bill was 4000.00 my share was 440.00. I will admit the govt finally did something right and they have to show you the exact bill before you go home and they are tied to it.
I guess knowing my heart is ok is worth 440.00 after worrying about it for two weeks is worth it.

Glad you guys are okay.

The scary thing about heart issues, or any serious health issue for that matter, is that if you've never experienced it, it's hard to figure out that it's a serious health issue. False alarms are kind of useful, but even then it just muddies up the water about what's real and what's not.

I went yesterday because ive been having this crazy pain in my stomach for a while now. Turns out I have to get my gallbladder removed. Everything else is perfectly fine including the heart though. Never ignore pains

Good luck, man. And if they ask if you want anesthetic, say yes. It's not worth saving the fifty bucks to go without it.

I had the same symptoms for a month then a panic attack. Root cause = Generalized Anxiety thst Ive had my entire life since i was a kid. Vertigo and panics linked to low seratonin levels. Kind of crazy this shit goes undiagnosed for a lifetime

Glad you're okay. Good on ya for going and seeing someone, too many folks procrastinate themselves into poor health.

Smart thing to get it checked...I've related on a separate thread my heart attack from 18 months ago.

My chest pains started started with the same feeling as if I had eaten Italian Sub Sandwich from Firehouse Sub with extra onions...but a little more intense.

Oh, also I am surprised they didn't have you do a Stress Test within a couple of days of your visit.
