Bladder infection?

I recently was admitted to a local hospital with chest pain, dizziness, and hallucinations. I was treated with ativan and then released. I think I had a bladder infection. I received my medical records in the mail. It looks as though I had a bladder infection. I don't think I ever received antibiotics.

My question is this-why did I not receive anti-biotics? If I indeed did have a bladder infection, I was never made aware of it.

I am not prone to bladder infections, but I feel like someone should have made me aware of this condition.

Any feedback?

I was just looking at my ER record. Apparently I have anxiety and need to follow up with my psychiatrist.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
