I Worry About My Health

I had to pull over on the highway yesterday. I had intense pressure in my temples. It felt like I was getting squeezed with a vice. It was two distinct back to back episodes and although they each only lasted a few seconds they left me slightly nauseous and chest pressure and fatigue for several hours.
I wouldn’t share this except on an anonymous site but I was scared and definitely scared to drive. I’ve had an aortic valve replacement and an ablation to cure A-fib so a trip to doctor or ER would have meant a lot of fuss and I knew it wasn’t heart. (Rate was low and steady).
I feel great today and had a great day coaching my team on a day when they ran great, but I am worried it’s going to happen again. I am surrounded by people who care and shouldn’t worry. Definitely need to quit stressing about it.

😳scary!
If it happens again....definitely get it checked out


Or maybe even share this with someone close.....just so someone is aware

I did the latter. I had to ask someone else to drive. I blamed it on vertigo because it’s hard to describe. I will check it out if it happens again. Thanks for the advice. 😀@Happymedium
