Darren, my oldest that is in Madison Wisc. just called me a little big ago. He spent most of the night in the ER. He said he had these weird chest pains. They burned and hurt, and his neck was real stiff and hurting also. So he took some aspirin and waited it out. By 1am, it was still no better, and his GF was freaking out. So, they went to the ER and he had an EKG and blood work done. His BP was 150 over 105, and his heart rate was up. They found an "Irregular Heart beat" but, said it was pretty normal otherwise. They told him it could have been just a bad case of heartburn or indigestion but I am so glad he went in.. He is an Athlete that works out every day, sometimes twice a day. He has always been in perfect health. In fact, last night was the very first time in his life he has ever had blood taken! (He is 21 years old!)
I told him I was proud of him for going in and getting it checked. You hear so many stories of Athletes dropping dead of Heart Failure... I told him if it happens again, take a couple of aspirin, chew a couple of Tums, and if it still bothers him, GO BACK!
