@arowlands6- Good morning. I'd also like to welcome you to Connect. This is such wonderful information. I thank you. I agree with both you and @lisalucier- We certainly need to listen to our bodies. On the occasions that I have visited the ER with a panic attack the things that have been said about things being in my head were so derogatory that it made me afraid to go back. Some in the medical field think that it's their duty to pass judgment too.
It keeps people away from being able to make good decisions. It sounds as if you got sound medical care without any judgments.
It's more important to be afraid of what is wrong than any uncalled for judgment.
Fast beating hearts and being sweaty are scary symptoms. DId you learn this from you nursing background or your experiences with the ER?
