Why is pastures' little green light showing when she should clearly be at her nearest medical place getting checked and reassured?

Because PN is more scared of the outside world and the bright lights and all the people and the confusing environment .... than having a simple heart attack.

Pastures you are a stubborn mule, but I can't call you out on it or I'd be a hypocrite because you lot all told me to call the doc when I had my trapped nerve and my face went numb. However please at least read these and see if any apply, and flit around and try and find an asprin to take as a precaution:

Heart Attack Signs in Women

1. Uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, fullness or pain in the center of your chest. It lasts more than a few minutes, or goes away and comes back.
2. Pain or discomfort in one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw or stomach.
3. Shortness of breath with or without chest discomfort.
4. Other signs such as breaking out in a cold sweat, nausea or lightheadedness.
5. As with men, women’s most common heart attack symptom is chest pain or discomfort. But women are somewhat more likely than men to experience some of the other common symptoms, particularly shortness of breath, nausea/vomiting and back or jaw pain.

If you have any of these signs, don’t wait more than five minutes before calling for help. Call 999 and get to a hospital right away.

go to a&e.

you'll be seen in 30 mins tops with chest pain.

please.

It's only tiny .... and occasional... but always in the same spot. about where my pecs would be .... it was probably that yomp I did yesterday.. Remember kids: fresh air's bad for you!

And a couple of times I felt a little fuzzy/dizzy ... but that passed after 10 seconds. So I figure that was just worry again.

It'll pass. I'll live.

No. I'm registered with a Doctor, but not been for years ... and I don't want to sit on the phone to NHS Direct who will then probably tell me to get in the car and do a 20 mile round trip to the Hospital to get checked out and take £10 for parking. I'll see how it goes

If you phone nhs direct and say chest pain they will probably send 'a chauffeur'

She has probably logged off just to stop us nagging her.
