@gail, I didn’t know what was happening. I thought I was stressed out from too much overtime. I was having pains in my chest that radiated up the sides of my neck and into my ears, and felt sick to my stomach, dizzy and weak, so I left work and went to my doctor’s office. He told me my pressure was way up ( 156/110, normal for me is 110/70) he prescribed some medicine and said to come back in 2 weeks. the pains got worse, so I called the nurse line from my job. when I described my symptoms, she said to call 911. My SO took me to the ER, and the rest is history. They admitted me because something was off with my enzymes, and the stress test showed some ischemia so they did the cath.
@drhat77, Thanks. I used chantix once before and it helped, but I couldn’t afford it. Now that I have better insurance, I can quit for good this time.
