What in the world?
Posted by madamlight on January 10, 2009
I had the weirdest thing happen to me last night. I was sound asleep, I only know because it immediately woke me up, and there was the most awful and sharp pain on my left side basically under the breast.
I have never before experienced anything like this. I was almost frozen by the pain. I didn’t know if I should wake my husband or what I should do. As I have learned since child bearing, I tried to breath through the pain. But I couldn’t take any air in. It hurt so extremely bad.
I was having an internal conversation with myself as I felt my pulse race.
- Is this a heart attack?
- Should I wake my husband?
- Am I nuts?
- all the while telling myself to relax and try to breath deep.
It felt like an incredibly long amount of time and honestly I have no idea how long it was, but I was finally able to breath deep and the pain subsided.
Has anyone else ever experienced this? Any ideas? Stress? The cold I’ve been fighting with? Could I possibly have something more serious here? That would be terrible after all I have done to make myself healthier.
