I just took a hot shower. nothing came up. I do have that 'elephant' on my chest thing going on. I have a call into my husband. I have a very huge vehicle that I can drive the five miles, but I can only make right turns with it.
I will figure out the route and go.
Thank you.
I know you are right.
That burning means pneumonia or bronchitis you gotta get some meds to help you. Some eucalyptus and steam might have helped in the beginning but you're way past that now. I hope you feel better soon. I know it hurts almost as much as the pain in your chest to have to pay out money you don't have for an unexpected illness but sometimes you just have to.

Maybe a friend can help you? Don't be afraid to ask.

If one of MY local friends told me she was having difficulty breathng I would be RIGHT at their doorstep, pronto.

Breathing = Not optional

:hugs Worry about you, not the credit card.

Sorry it took so long to get back. Never, I repeat NEVER walk into a walk in and say your chest hurts. be very specific and clear. say your LUNGS hurt.
So EKG, and of couse when your heart can't pump blood into your lungs because they are constricted, it will show up on the EKG. ambulance ride to the emergency room. eight hours later...acute bronchitis and a handful of RX. I was is such misery when I finally got home.. and then had to wait for the scripts to be filled.. and then once they helped I fell hard asleep.
I am breathing this morning, and I am glad you all encouraged me to go. I feel they just REALLY over reacted, but my son was with me, and the look in his eyes when I said I would rather not go to the hospital... well, you know, Not worth any risk to have to leave a child behind.
I am 80% better this morning. Thank you for your thoughts. I am sorry I had you worrying. I was hoping a handful of cooking herbs in boiling water was the answer... hope springs eternal, ya' know.
