I am a mother of two boys, ages 8 and 5. My life pretty much revolves around them at this point! I like to run, read, and just enjoy time with my family. I've been married almost 14 years, which is amazing to me. I love Penn State football. Go PSU!!

Do you have some insulin? You need to give yourself a shot and keep doing it until your blood sugar comes down. It is VERY dangerous to not take your insulin. We have a local teenager who DIED because he forgot to take his insulin on a weekend trip. You need to either take some isulin or go to the emergency room...or both.
YOU CANNOT CATCH DIABETES FROM ANYONE!! It is an autoimmune disease where your body attacks itself. Again - you CANNOT catch it! As a mother of a child with diabetes, it annoys me that these false ideas are so common out there - sorry if I sound angry!
Does the chest pain feel at all like heartburn? It could be something like Gastroesophageal reflux disease.
The symptoms are:
Heartburn
Involves a burning pain in the chest (under the breastbone)
Increased by bending, stooping, lying down, or eating
Relieved by antacids
More frequent or worse at night
Belching
Regurgitation of food
Nau... more
I would think if you told him that you had additional symptoms this time, that might be enough to convince him to do the echo. An echocardiogram can detect problems that an EKG and stress test cannot. Since your symptoms include signs of a heart attack, I hope your doctor would feel the echo necessary.
Good luck with it.
Good luck with it.
Were you able to get in to your GO and get any answers?
I wonder if you have Arrhythmia. Symptoms of arrhythmias include:
Fast or slow heart beat
Skipping beats
Lightheadedness, dizziness
Chest pain
Shortness of breath
Paleness
Sweating
Did you doctor mention that to you? Here's a website that may be helpful:
