I am in the US, so financial calculations need to be factored in.

For a moment, I couldn’t breathe, felt like I was going to die, then vomitted.

Now heart beating slightly off, not feeling great but not terrible, had mild chest pain earlier in evening…

Kinda feel off. Have medical insurance with large deductible.

Ignore it? Taxi to ER? Call 911? Genuinely don’t know and don’t like 911 since police are involved.

Also I feel hot, feel burning around my neck.

    Ironically, if your situation is “Urgent”, you do not go to an “Urgent Care”. Its a misnomer.

    I had chest pains and the Urgent Care I went to just told me to go to an ER. I’m like… 🧐 they didn’t have blood tests lmfao. “Urgent” Care is for flu and like ear infections, not for a fucking heart attack or gasterointestinal problems.

    Edit: It turned out to be fucking anxiety. Lmfao I hate myself. I was on my parent’s insurance so they covered most of it.

      Glad you went. I worked with a healthy young guy, he was like 26 at the time, and he had a heart attack on shift. It can happen to anyone.

      Oh and the lovely hospital made him wait hours to be seen because they thought he was too young for a heart attack.

        I mean in case you missed it, I said it was anxiety. They found nothing from blood tests, chest x-ray showed nothing. The “chest pain” was just my anxiety. So in hindsight, I could’ve just skipped all the trouble if I had known… 🤷‍♂️
