I woke up this morning at 3:00AM with a horrible cough. I've been fighting off a cold since last Thursday or Friday. It's nothing big...nothing that has kept me home from work. I'm sniffly with a slight sore throat and a semi persistent cough.
After laying awake for a few minutes, I started to realize that I had a fairly severe pain in my chest. It was amplified whenever I coughed. I laid there for a long time trying to decipher whether my pain was heart related or more due to the cold.
At 4:30, I woke up Susan and said I was having chest pains and we should probably go to the hospital. We got down there very quickly and got right in.
After a chest xray and a bunch of blood tests, it was determined I have bronchitis. That was a relief because I am trying to avoid heart problems.
The chest pains disappeared about 45 minutes after we got to the E.R. That was also good.
The bad part was that I got Susan up after only a couple hours of sleep because she worked last night and we both missed a few hours of work.
