Husband and I returned a week ago from a week-long tropical vacation in a country where you don't even use the tap water to brush teeth. We spent all day, every day for nearly 8 days in wet bathing suits. And we - uh - rekindled our romance quite a bit.
It was quite clear upon leaving there that I had a UTI, but it wasn't really painful. I just know the other signs. I thought I would get over it with lots of hydration and cranberry juice. It seemed to be getting better over this past weekend... and by yesterday, I would have said it was gone.
At the same time of leaving there and noticing the UTI, I started to notice a weird feeling in my chest/torso/abdomen (it moved around in location, but always on the left side). Not a pain, really, but more of a discomfort, like something wasn't quite right. It came and went, but most was present.
I poo-poo'd it away as being referred pain from the UTI. But last night in bed, I kind of felt like my heart was fluttering. Or maybe it was some other muscle spasm? I said a prayer to God - if I need to see a doctor, give me a sign. Make my UTI come back noticibly. Guess what I woke with this morning?
I have a doctor appointment this afternoon. And I'm afraid. I don't want to have heart issues. Please send mojo, and tell me to suck it up and deal with it.
Think of the haters in your life as sandpaper; they’ll scratch you up time and time again but in the end you’re polished, smooth, and spotless..while they end up useless
We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.
and Hugs, too!
Please let us know how it goes...

If chest X-ray and bloodwork are normal, course of action for now is Nexium for 14 days and a follow up visit. I think some of the blood tests were for GERD, so maybe that will show something.
At least it's not looking like it's my heart! Thanks for the mojo. Feel better mentally for having gone.
