Susan, along with her sister and brother-in-law, went on a trip to visit relatives in Nashville. On the way home, she developed severe pain in her chest and left arm.
They stopped at ER at the University of Arkansas Medical Science hospital in Little Rock Saturday night and they were able to get the pain to subside somewhat with nitro. They ran tests that did not indicate a heart attack, and probably ruled out a blood clot, at least in her lungs. Ten years ago she had a blood clot in her left arm as a result of chemotherapy treatment, but has had no problem since.
Anyway, they did EKG, blood tests, CT scan, x-rays, a D-Dimer test, and other tests, and they told her she could go home about midnight, after around seven hours there. She had to wait on a bed in a hallway for an hour or so before they could find her a room.
Yesterday, the pain was much better, but still there. Seems to be better when she lies down. She did recently have a fall and it possibly has caused some issues, such as a pinched nerve or something, but we don't know.
She also has a history of Esophageal Spasms, which can mimic a heart attack, but these symptoms are much different.
She is going to her cardiologist today at 2:45 to see what he recommends. She's just a baby, only 60.
I would ask that you keep her in your thoughts, and prayers, if you are so inclined. I can't do without her.
