for a couple hours I noticed my left shoulder and chest was hurting. otherwise I felt ok. then I started feeling weird and tingly and dizzy and my skin got cold and clammy. this lasted for a few minutes idk five or ten or fifteen minutes. then I started feeling better. I've been in bed all day. my chest/shoulder still hurts some and I feel tired but otherwise fine all those other symptoms stopped

i can't go to the doctor because I'm poor and American (thanks Obama)

this happened to me once but it turned out to be a kidney problem because i drank one (1) energy drink a week and it was messing up my fragile internals something bad. i went to the hospital about it and all, and it was quite scary. you know those things are bad for you but it's difficult to comprehend just how bad where even drinking one a week can make you have heart attack symptoms and reduced kidney function

anyway if you're drinking energy drinks stop it

Honestly, that sounds scary. Isn't there a free clinic you can get to? Because that poo poo can be serious and you need to get it looked at.

Try posting in our medical forums as well. But Im prety sure they will tell you the same. We've got a ton of actual doctors there. Take your own pulse (rest 10min - pulse for 15s x4)

Thank you for the beautiful sig Machai!

DOPE FIEND KILLA G

I hope you are okay op, please look over the byob official list of good hospital names to find the right cardiologist for you. but really try and see a cardiologist please, like google this said a bill is better than dead. hopefully you'll end up paying a guy to tell you you're okay and not dying and gonna live forever! but if something bad is going down u gotta go find out duder. godspeed

I don't drink energy drinks but I drink a lot of soda I probably have diabetes it could be a kidney thing


Forums that aren't byob are scary and intimidating to post on


Looks like the county health department can't help me http://health.nhcgov.com/resources/faqs/
Too bad I don't need condoms or STD testing I could get that for free. I guess the government only cares about sexhavers

I can't go to the doctor anyway because of my social anxiety. It's embarrassing to have health problems. They will just shame me and give me the typical diet and exercise lecture. One day I'm just gonna die alone in my house cause I'm too scared to ask for help.

I feel better today but still really tired. I drove to the grocery store today and that exhausted me.

ECT, we love you and care about you. I don't know how to tell you that anxiety about seeing a doctor is silly without sounding dismissive, so I won't try.

If you have serious (or potentially serious) health problems, everyone in byob would be much happier if you addressed them by consulting with an actual real-life doctor who exists in reality and has a degree that's legitimate.

Cute latina females of the feminine persuasion are one thing. Heart attacks are quite another. Seeking help regarding the former is an idea, but not nearly as good an idea as seeking help regarding the latter.


Thanks to Manifisto for the sig!

Hi OP, I'm a doctor and I've looked over your post and ran some tests.

You've had what we in the business call a "heart attack", and after putting a timeline together of the events that you describe we have concluded that it happened "last night".

Happy to help.

i was a Boy Scout and i do recall those are symptoms of a heart attacks

I got social anxiety and I had to book in for a aids test a while ago.. :iamafag: I went through all the usual anxious worrying crap but it genuinely helps to stop and remember your doctor sees hundreds of other patients with way worse/more hosed up problems than you.

imho you should go to the doctor because transforming into a ghost has a very low success rate so it is safer to just be alive and posting.

i'm a little socially anxious myself sometimes but you have to just power through it when you need to get something done. put blinders on, as it were. go where you need to go, say what you need to say, don't watch people's reactions so you don't overanalyze them.

everyone has or will eventually have health problems (that is why homo sapiens sapiens are not immortal), and here in america you're one of a freaking 9-digit number of people who have preventable health problems brought on by an unhealthy lifestyle so there's really nothing to be individually embarrassed about

and if your lifestyle is literally killing you then what well-meaning person wouldn't encourage you to make some changes? i'd be more wary of the heartless shithead who wouldn't

for serious, though, if you're that paralyzed that you can't fulfill basic needs for yourself and you're that isolated where you don't have an adequate support system you probably need a social worker's help. maybe the assertive community treatment team here? or find something else in your area and make a couple of phone calls, surely someone can refer you to someone else who can help you. you can get an advocate to help you navigate the hurdles of getting healthcare and whatnot. surely there's medicare or a subsidized plan that you would qualify for if you can't afford full-price marketplace insurance

in the meantime, worst comes to worst, it's a not-quite-so-secret that you can usually make small monthly payments on a giant healthcare bill and that will keep collections off your rear end, even if you don't have formal financing in place

get a social worker while you're being seen and sign up for their financial assistance.

you've very very likely had a heart attack. you may have another, worse one if you don't seek help promptly. you probably have some degree of damage to the heart muscle.

and even if it was just a panic attack, gently caress it, talk to someone about your crippling anxiety.

good luck friend.

Yeah, the likelyhood for *treated* attack repeat within 5 years is high, I cannot imagine the numbers for an untreated one being pretty.

This actually can cause chest pain for a lot of people. But still he should go to the doctor. Remember though, always bring a stool sample with just in case they need one.
