I have a good friend who isn't on mama source and is waiting on a call back from her doctor but since it is close to 5:00 and the end of thier day I was wondering what you all think may be going on with her. Last Thursday she had a sharp pain in her chest and it shot all the way down her left arm and across the left side of her body from about the neck down to her rib area. The pain lasted for about 15 min. and knocked the energy out of her for several hours afterward. The pain was so bad she laid on the sofa because it basically doubled her over. Well, today as she was making breakfast she had the same pain and it lasted for the same amount of time, this time it knocked her to the ground, she was laying on the floor in pain, (she's a strong woman and has a very high pain level). As of now, she is still drained, tired, hot and sweaty. Any suggestions on what this could be?
She went to the doctor this morning and he did an ECG on her that came out fine, but at the time he did it she felt normal..just tired. He is also running some other tests on her, (lots of blood work), to find out what is going on. Thank you all for your prayers and hopefully she wont experience anymore pain before he finds out what it is. She knows to call 911 if it does happen again and her daughter knows to call if her mom can't. Thank you all agian.
I hope your friend is okay and has been to the doctor by now. It does sound like she's having a heart attack. But signs for women are usually different than men. She definitely needs to get checked out...maybe even with a second opinion.
Please let us know how she's doing.
Prayers are with her!
i agree...my mom had a heart attack & when she finally went to the e.r. they found that she had actually been having several small heart attacks & didnt even know it!
I'm hoping and praying that by now your friend is at the hospital recovering from the heart attack or pains she was having, this is very serious, she's very very blessed that she was able to wait for the phone call from the Dr.. Next time she should immediately call 911 and get some help. Will be praying for her.
Get her to the hospital now!!!!
Pain in chest and left arm = heart attack!!!
Good luck , I'll be praying for her.
I would also suggest heart attack with the pain running down her arm. Women often experiance different symptoms of heart attacks than men do.
Hope she is okay.
