So had some chest pain and difficulty breathing night before last, along with a fever. It continued until to yesterday morning when I decided to go in to the ER.

Pretty much immediately went in for a chest x-ray. Cute radioligist says “are you wearing a bra, if so we need to remove that so it won’t show up on the x-ray” So I go into the changing room and take it off.. not even thinking the whole time that.. OOHHH yeah I have 10g titanium in my nipples thats going to show up on the scan as well. So after he takes the two films and i’m waiting.. THEN I start to think about this *lol*… oohhh the look on his face when he came back out was priceless *HAHAHAHAHAHA* I think i’m going to request a copy of the films *hehe*
anyhow, then went from there into my own room in the ER and was hooked up to a heart monitor, a blood saturation monitor, and a blood pressure cuff.
Peed in a cup. Got stabbed for blood and an IV. Then had an EKG done.
Talked with one of the Doctor’s about the possiblity of it being an infection from my suspension piercings, but with no signs of infection he was highly doubtful that that would have caused any problems. It did make for an amusing chat with him and the nurse about suspensions and the Bed & Bondage in OR *lol*
Then they came back to say they had left the blood out to long so had to take more, but couldn’t take it from the IV so they had to stab my other arm.
Both the Chest Xray and the EKG were normal so they had me do a breathing treatment to see if it wasn’t my SIA turning into Asthma. But that didn’t do anything.
Then they did a blood clot test and that turned out negative too.
So they said that with all the symptoms i’m having the only explanation was an inflammation of the lining of the heart and/or lungs.
So sent me home with a perscription for anti-inflammitory drugs and vicadin for the pain.
They said that it could be a re-occuring condition I have problems with later, or it could be a one shot deal. But if I didn’t see any signs of improvement to come back in.
Been home since about 2pm yesterday and I still feel shitty. Chest hurts like a monther f**ker, breathing is a bit better though.
