My boyfriend had a scary medical thing today.

We thought it might be a heart attack but it turned out to be a "pre-syncopal attack" and we had to go and look it up...

He's feeling silly and fed up.

1. that's not silly

Just be careful when it comes to driving and using equipment.

2. That's what I told him but he's all down and "meh"

He's decided he needs more exercise, which I've been telling him for years.

3. Is this anxiety?

I thought I was dying once, and had a "simple" anxiety attack.
But really-I thought I was flickering out of existence-not cool.

4. He's not the only one who could use more exercise,

fresh air, and sunshine!

5. I have latent clonic-tonic seizures. The only warning I get is from our sheltie. She just knows.

Other than that, I just wake up in the hospital a few days later with no clue what has happened - and it takes a few days to snap out of it - and that's after I wake up. His condition is different in most ways but similar in the results. It's still really freaky. They've got medications for both, but please encourage him to see the appropriate specialists on the matter. And you hang in there!

6. Better to be safe than sorry. I tried treating heartburn for 2 hours before....

...going to the hospital and finding out I was having a heart attack.
