ER
I can't remember the last time i had to go to the ER for anything.  I mean i go to the doctors frequently for other problems, but nothing that freaked me out enough to go to the emergency room.

Since the day before yesterday i was having some sort of weird pain in my chest.  I was a bit tired but i just shucked it off.  It went away for a while but it came back yesterday, i felt so crappy i called my boyfriend to come pick me up from work in SF, and we drove home, it got better but after getting settled in it got much worse.  I looked it up online to see what it was, i didn't think it was too serious, but whenever i checked like web MD for chest pain symptoms it kept prompting me to call an ambulance.  Even when i tried to get more detailed with the symptom description. That was a little unsettling.  I was feeling much worse as time went by, so my boyfriend drove me to the hospital and it freaked me out even more because they checked me in right away.  They did an EKG to see if there were any problems and said that looked fine, so it couldn't be my heart (thank god) but then they took me to another room and made me remove all my clothes, put on this shitty gown that didn't cover up anything, put me in a bed, and i started to worry just a little bit.  The nurse was getting ready to do an IV drip, and i was like wtf is going on!  They ended up not doing that, but they ran a ton of other tests.

Anyways, long story short, because i don't want to worry anyone, is i had some thyroid problems, and that can cause the type of pain and fatigue i was experiencing.  It's not life threatening, so after a few more hours they sent me home after they finished all their tests.

It still hurts, and I'm still very tired. I'm going to follow up with my physician today to see what's up.
