I would like some prayer for myself...
I am going to have to call the doctor first thing in the morning and try to get in.
I had what I'm almost 100% positive was a muscle spasm this evening. But, it was on my left side, right under my heart, was excruciatingly painful while it lasted and actually caused me to not be able to speak for a few moments.
About 2 hours prior to that, I was feeling sort of punky... a little woozy and sort of nauseous... Now, you have to understand that it's really baking hot and we don't have air conditioning... I've been sweating profusely for about four days now and, while I'm drinking plenty, it wouldn't surprise me if I was dehydrated. The heat alone is enough to make me feel out of sorts and I'm prone to muscle spasms when I'm dehydrated.
But, Steve is insisting, and I have to admit he's right, that I go to the doctor and get checked out... I'm 50 and overweight... I've been struggling with asthma and had a very bad episode last night, almost 24 hours exactly to the pain I experienced tonight. I can see where a heart attack isn't outside the realm of possibility.
The thing is, we have insurance, but my deductible is sky high and after it's met, we still have to pay 40%... so I really don't want a bunch of really expensive tests, just to find out that my heart is fine and I was just experiencing a muscle spasm brought on by dehydration.
Anyway, I do ask for your interceding prayers here.
