Yesterday

Night before last, I slept very little. I hadn't slept well the previous night either.When I got up yesterday morning,I noticed a tightening feeling in my chest,and my heart and thoughts were both racing and I was having trouble breathing. Long story short, I ended up going to the ER by ambulance.They took my vitals and after that,when they saw that there was nothing "physically" wrong with me,they left me lying on the gurney til the therapist came in.He evaluated me and determined that I didn't meet the criteria for hospitalization.I was discharged and instructed to go back to taking melatonin for sleep,but when I got home I discovered the girls had pitched my bottle of melatonin because keeping it is against the rules. So I took Vistaril. I slept 12 hours,from midnight to noon. When I woke up I felt SO much better.It was the first panic attack I've had in several years.I thought I was having a heart attack. I've never had a MI but I heard that the symptoms are similar.
This weekend I'm supposed to be resting.
