A nurse has heart attack and describes what she felt like when having one

I am an ER nurse and this is the best description of this event that I have ever heard. 

 FEMALE HEART ATTACKS 

 I was aware that female heart attacks are different, but this is description is so incredibly visceral that I feel like I have an entire new understanding of what it feels like to be living the symptoms on the inside. Women rarely have the same dramatic symptoms that men have… you know, the sudden stabbing pain in the chest, the cold sweat, grabbing the chest & dropping to the floor the we see in movies. Here is the story of one woman’s experience with a heart attack: 

 "I had a heart attack at about 10:30 PM with NO prior exertion, NO prior emotional trauma that one would suspect might have brought it on. I was sitting all snugly & warm on a cold evening, with my purring cat in my lap, reading an interesting story my friend had sent me, and actually thinking, ‘A-A-h, this is the life, all cozy and warm in my soft, cushy Lazy Boy with my feet propped up. A moment later, I felt that awful sensation of indigestion, when you’ve been in a hurry and grabbed a bite of sandwich and washed it down with a dash of water, and that hurried bite seems to feel like you’ve swallowed a golf ball going down the esophagus in slow motion and it is most uncomfortable. You realize you shouldn’t have gulped it down so fast and needed to chew it more thoroughly and this time drink a glass of water to hasten its progress down to the stomach. This was my initial sensation–the only trouble was that I hadn’t taken a bite of anything since about 5:00 p.m. 

After it seemed to subside, the next sensation was like little squeezing motions that seemed to be racing up my SPINE (hind-sight, it was probably my aorta spasms), gaining speed as they continued racing up and under my sternum (breast bone, where one presses rhythmically when administering CPR). This fascinating process continued on into my throat and branched out into both jaws. ‘AHA!! NOW I stopped puzzling about what was happening – we all have read and/or heard about pain in the jaws being one of the signals of an MI happening, haven’t we? I said aloud to myself and the cat, Dear God, I think I’m having a heart attack! I lowered the foot rest dumping the cat from my lap, started to take a step and fell on the floor instead. I thought to myself, If this is a heart attack, I shouldn’t be walking into the next room where the phone is or anywhere else… but, on the other hand, if I don’t, nobody will know that I need help, and if I wait any longer I may not be able to get up in a moment. 

I pulled myself up with the arms of the chair, walked slowly into the next room and dialed the Paramedics… I told her I thought I was having a heart attack due to the pressure building under the sternum and radiating into my jaws. I didn’t feel hysterical or afraid, just stating the facts. She said she was sending the Paramedics over immediately, asked if the front door was near to me, and if so, to un-bolt the door and then lie down on the floor where they could see me when they came in. I unlocked the door and then laid down on the floor as instructed and lost consciousness, as I don’t remember the medics coming in, their examination, lifting me onto a gurney or getting me into their ambulance, or hearing the call they made to St. Jude ER on the way, but I did briefly awaken when we arrived and saw that the radiologist was already there in his surgical blues and cap, helping the medics pull my stretcher out of the ambulance. He was bending over me asking questions (probably something like ‘Have you taken any medications?’) but I couldn’t make my mind interpret what he was saying, or form an answer, and nodded off again, not waking up until the Cardiologist and partner had already threaded the teeny angiogram balloon up my femoral artery into the aorta and into my heart where they installed 2 side by side stints to hold open my right coronary artery. 

I know it sounds like all my thinking and actions at home must have taken at least 20-30 minutes before calling the paramedics, but actually it took perhaps 4-5 minutes before the call, and both the fire station and St Jude are only minutes away from my home, and my Cardiologist was already to go to the OR in his scrubs and get going on restarting my heart (which had stopped somewhere between my arrival and the procedure) and installing the stents. Why have I written all of this to you with so much detail? Because I want all of you who are so important in my life to know what I learned first hand. 

1. Be aware that something very different is happening in your body, not the usual men’s symptoms but inexplicable things happening (until my sternum and jaws got into the act). It is said that many more women than men die of their first (and last) MI because they didn’t know they were having one and commonly mistake it as indigestion, take some Maalox or other anti-heartburn preparation and go to bed, hoping they’ll feel better in the morning when they wake up… which doesn’t happen. My female friends, your symptoms might not be exactly like mine, so I advise you to call the Paramedics if ANYTHING is unpleasantly happening that you’ve not felt before. It is better to have a ‘false alarm’ visitation than to risk your life guessing what it might be! 2. Note that I said ‘Call the Paramedics.’ And if you can take an aspirin. Ladies, TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE! Do NOT try to drive yourself to the ER - you are a hazard to others on the road. Do NOT have your panicked husband who will be speeding and looking anxiously at what’s happening with you instead of the road. Do NOT call your doctor – he doesn’t know where you live and if it’s at night you won’t reach him anyway, and if it’s daytime, his assistants (or answering service) will tell you to call the Paramedics. He doesn’t carry the equipment in his car that you need to be saved! The Paramedics do, principally OXYGEN that you need ASAP. Your Dr. will be notified later. 3. Don’t assume it couldn’t be a heart attack because you have a normal cholesterol count. Research has discovered that a cholesterol elevated reading is rarely the cause of an MI (unless it’s unbelievably high and/or accompanied by high blood pressure). MIs are usually caused by long-term stress and inflammation in the body, which dumps all sorts of deadly hormones into your system to sludge things up in there. Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let’s be careful and be aware. The more we know the better chance we could survive to tell the tale.“

Reblog, repost, Facebook, tweet, pin, email, morse code, fucking carrier pigeon this to save a life! I wish I knew who the author was. I’m definitely not the OP, actually think it might be an old chain email or even letter from back in the day. The version I saw floating around Facebook ended with “my cardiologist says mail this to 10 friends, maybe you’ll save one!” And knew this was way too interesting not to pass on.

Welp guess it’s time to raid the recycle bin for cardboard again-

ATTENTION!

FEUDALISM RESTARTING IN 10 SECONDS. CLASSES WILL BE RANDOMLY ASSIGNED

This site has been going around Twitter trans accounts quite a bit lately, so just pointing out here too that it'll do fuck all, they're exploiting trans people at a time when hrt is particularly hard to access and please don't give them your money

Another one had appeared smoke dancing around their form. Cream colored fur, claws hidden within clothing this was not a Pokémon this….. this was one of the spared. Given in to their primality they were not to be trifled with no longer bound to humanity…… this was beyond His expectations beyond what He thought would happen congratulations you’ve pushed the few to their limits.

Time and Space were already upset now they’ve become angry their desires pushed onto those they had spared from death….. the mask the spared bear they will not give to you make your own arceus’s chosen…. You must learn to continue your journey do not fear the few or you will be lost to the others…..

If you can’t reblog this, unfollow me now.

This was just a random thought-

But if Darkrai would have a final form I think they would have a similar appearance to a Kirin a mythical creature.

So, questions about your Primal AU.

First, what sort of physical changes are there? We know Palina has tails, and it appears that Sabi has wings in your Braivary sketch, but I can't help but wonder.

Second, what sort of ending did you have in mind? I'd assume it involves quelling Primal Dialga and Primal Palkia, and hope it involves the Clans making peace with each other.

Third, what happens to the masks after a Warden recovers? Is it gone for good, do they keep it around? What?

Finally, what happened with Iscan and Palina? I've left my thoughts under the break if you're interested. Apologies in advance for the detail I go into, the two of them happen to be my blorbos so...yeah. Don't worry, I'm not going to contest whatever choices you make (especially regarding shipping), but my ideas do assume their canon pairing is maintained. (Hopefully I'm not making any incorrect assumptions about what you're thinking with her and Melli.)

As much as I hate to say it, I see no reason to think their relationship didn't take a turn for the worse when the Clans started getting at each other's throats. Not to the point where they'd kill each other, but enough that there would be arguing.

There's no way of telling how that'd impact them while Primal. After all, Violet either had his feeling about Adaman completely reversed - or just is angry because of that "I Told You So" moment you hinted at.

Admittedly, we only know Palina goes Primal - Iscan might not. Assuming that is the case, I'd imagine Vixen would be...curious, about the fish-man. And perhaps less aggressive towards him than other Diamond Clan members. Alternatively, if you want to go the angst route she could basically be hunting him down for...something.

It might also be that Palina didn't die from, well, inter-clan warfare but instead from the storm that claimed Lord Arcanine. No clue if Palkia was enraged back then, but if so then I think it'd be perfect. Maybe Vixen sorta-remembers how the weird fish man tried to save her? He's last on the "To Hunt" list for some reason, even if she doesn't know why. Dying from the storm could also explain why she's sequestered the young Lord away - fleeting memories of his near-death, tangled up with her own, could make her paranoid.

I also think that one of the key memories for Vixen to recover would be that storm. Whether it was killed her or not, Iscan saving her (or at least trying to save her) is a key point in Palina's life. Recovering that memory could be what leads to her finally remembering who she was. No idea if it'd be possible for both Iscan and Palina to end up Primal, but if so that would lead to interesting situations. Maybe they're constantly at each other's throats? Maybe they're reluctant allies? Maybe they have this odd flutter in their heart when they see each other?

Maybe they have to regain their memories together? Not sure how that'd work, but it would be a neat touch.

Admittedly if Palina DID die because of Iscan, I...honestly think Iscan should end up Primal also, likely because of Palina.

Either way, Vixen and/or Primal Iscan regain their memories, the relationship would start being repaired.

wow 0.0- I’m gonna be honest I wasn’t expecting this in an ask but I’m super happy you did this!! And I’m more than happy to answer!!

So for the first question physical changes are mostly minor like increased body size, sharper teeth, tough claws(feet and hands), and some fur, or in a serious case like Violet or Vixen the two both are capable of spewing out fire or poisonous smoke which is common to the species they try to copy. These effects stay behind but only much weaker than before like Melli randomly spewing small purple clouds when upset or Palina spitting little embers at people. For Brave(Sabi) however the wings are connected partially to the suit and can be disconnected at will (probably won’t be removed even after the events that transpire)

second question: The ending does involve Palkia and Diagla but Volo makes an appearance with his followers and uses Giratina to restrain the two to take over the spared who have lost themselves completely at this point because of two pretty major things 1) The gods are panicked and linking themselves to ALL of their spared which is like a summoning to them 2) Giratina is attempted to over take the two control but is unable to because of a third entity drawing their attention away…

third question: (personal favorite) The masks do remain even after the wardens recover but are only summoned if the warden relapses from a traumatic memory that occurs from a memory of the attack or something that happened before example): Sneasler trainer who attacked Melli and captured Skuntank causes a relapse and Violet/Melli (it was a combined effort) almost take him off the census permanently… The guy doesn’t make through the month from a slow acting poison that brought him immense pain and Violet/Melli refused to help him despite Adaman’s attempts (the relapse can cause both feral and human mind to merge and the two can speak to each other in public it is a very unnerving thing for the rest of the clan however and Violet takes advantage of this a lot-)

fourth question: I’m gonna be serious with you… I respect your love of the two blorbos and I too care deeply for them. the two were in a relationship yes and still technically are- but Iscan can’t find Palina and is and has been aware of Vixen for a while partially why he warned Adaman of the dangers with Melli but as you can guess it didn’t work out… Iscan is a honorary spared to Vixen and Violet they respect him and will retreat from his generally space if they feel he is uncomfortable with their presence. The clans only started back at each other’s throats when Palina was announced missing and Iscan had been found nearby and they blamed him so the two weren’t really tense… His scent is all over the cliff side and it does intrigue Vixen as to why this man-who-smells-like-fish is walking around their territory

fifth question: this is a very important part of the story I will be honest with you… Violets anger and hatred stems from Melli’s feelings of betrayal and hurt that came from Adaman over looking important details and evidence that the other wardens brought to him to try to prove it and Melli had been injured when they went to talk to him but was immediately shut down by their older brother figure because he felt they were exaggerating the threat. These feelings grow into hatred and rage when Violet is “born” the confusion with these emotions and how bad it makes them feel makes Violet more violent towards their former leader and the trust that Melli had in Adaman will never truly be regained after it Melli basically d*ed a horrible and slow lonely d*ath of blo*d loss and hypothermia from a lack of protective clothing from the attack from the sneasler and the wounds they had Melli is physically and mentally scarred from that experience and can’t look Adaman in the eyes because they see him as untrustworthy with their feelings and events that occur around them because he might shoot their warnings/feelings down along with the fact that they almost lost skuntank because of him… and that’s not something Melli takes lightly trust me.

Back to Vixen and Iscan gonna say this first Iscan does go feral but it’s a little bit more into the story like about when the research trio meet ingo kind of into it Vixen hunts them down(Rei,Akari,Fate(OC) down and gives them a free trip back to cobalt coastland where Iscan is seen wearing a basculegin mask and squaring off with the local alpha Waldron and winning calming him down takes a little while but eventually he leads them to a small cave where Violet lies injured and unconscious Diagla had overtook Iscan(while alive) to use as a replacement for Violet while they healed(Diagla was upset with them for losing a fight with Vixen/Palkia during one of their full moon all out brawls) but released him soon after and he joins Vixens pack the two are close at this point but it is a respectful close even with the mixed (nice) feelings the two feel in close proximity to one another

When Iscan went primal a memory was triggered that woke up a feeling deep inside of Vixen and helped to slowly wake Palina up and Vixen and Palina did converse together for short periods of time and the two helped give Iscan his primal name Soul which Soul/Iscan liked very much

Palina’s “d*ath” actually happens from blunt force trauma her young lord witnessed it and it effected him badly and is much more skittish than canonly out of fear Palina was attacked by another Volo follower and was pushed off the cliff side by a alpha bravairy and it’s trainer Palkia warped space and brought her back to life as Vixen after she passed from the realm

when Palina has recovered she immediately books it from the med bay in Jubilife village hugs Melli as a thank you for being a good friend and honorary packmate and keeping them all safe knocks over Adaman and Irida in haste(you thought she was tall then she got even taller now) and runs-

THE-

WHOLE-

*SS-

WAY-

to cobalt coastlands to see Iscan(who recovered very fast due to a shortened link to Diagla and not being technically “needed”) out of a conscious/subconscious need to see him and didn’t even break a sweat (Fate blames Palkia and Diagla for the wardens random “energy rushes”)

trust me though Melli and Palina were and stills are in no way interested with one another the two respected one another for their own strengths and we’re more than happy to join together to protect the research trio from Volos followers even after it all the two are often found conversing together in cobalt coastlands or in jubilife village when the two aren’t busy or have given their lords free roam out in the open(something they discovered is beneficial for themselves and their lords)

(I am pretty sure I answered everything- but please let me know if I didn’t completely explain something I am trying to be a bit vague with my explanations as this is still a work in progress and I am attempting to respect canon as much as possible in this au)
