Just an update: on sunday i went to emerge cuz i was having chest pains. After 3 echocardiogams, 6 ekgs, 1 ultrasound, chest xrays, and multiple vials of blood drawn for testing, i was put on heart attack watch. After all the tests were run i was diagnosed with pericarditis. The sac wrapped around my heart has filled with fluid, putting emense amounts of pressure on my heart. I am on meds to help with the imflamation and meds for anxiety aswell. I will be seen tomorrow mornung by a cardiac specialist to do further testing to see the severity and to see what needs to be done do resolve it. I have been an emotional wreck and apologize if anyone feels i have been ignoring them but right now im scared and have to focus on taking care of myself. Lots of bed rest, and no stress is all i can do right now to help minimize the pain. I will keep u all updated as more info becomes available
