My dad is taking my mom to the hospital. She's compaining of chest pains and i'm really scared. I don't think it's a heart attack, because she said she doesn't have any numbness in her arm and the only pain i think she has is in her chest. It could be just a REALLY bad case of heart burn, but i don't know any thing! I'M NOT A DOCTOR!!

I just can't stop thinking about the worse case senario. I know heart things are usually bad. My Grandpa and a great aunt died of heart related stuff. I can't loose her, my family can't loose her!

I'm scared!

Ok, first off, you need to calm down. Take some deep breaths, try walking around, do whatever it takes. Then you need to wait for your mom or dad to call. Your mom went to the hospital, right? That should make you fell better. It's not like she's sitting at home without any observations. If you want, try calling your dad to find out what's going on.

I wish all the best for her. Even if it is a heart attack, it's unlikely it'll be fatal if she's in hospital. People survive them all the time. Just make her smile a lot.

It's probably just heart burn. But best of luck, update us when you can!

i wish the best for you and your family Anubis.....everything wil be fine its nothing to worry about...just give her the love and support she is wanting right now and everything will turn out o.k.

Thank you guys, i mean that.

It turns out that her chest pains was from a stone in her gallbladder. She'll be all right. She is on all clear liquid diet and hopefully it'll pass from her system.

Glad to hear she'll be ok

heh...nice....

same here Anubis.....hope eal is very well..

Yay! Major crises averted. You were lucky. Make sure your mom knows how scared you were. She'll appreciate it.

Yeah, thank goodness. Glad to hear she's okay, give her my best.

If it comes down to surgery, gall bladder removal's no big deal. I know people who've had it and were home the next day. They go in, take it out, little bitty cut and that's it.

Hmm, a while a go I lost somebody of cancer. Not the best way to lose people. But yet, thats life.

atleast your mom didnt kill herself

Glad to hear she's alright, and I'm sorry I wasn't there to offer reassurance any sooner.

If she should end up having to have her gallbladder taken out, that's a very routine procedure. I've observed several during my residency. They're usually done laprascopically--that is, using instruments poked into the belly, leaving very small scars. Observing the procedure up close left firmly in my mind the rather oddly amusing image of surgeons and scrub techs in full sterile attire in the operating room applying ordinary Band-Aids to the finished surgical sites. Complication rates are low, since most general surgeons do several a week. It will involve some dietary changes afterwards to avoid diarrhea, but that's certainly better than worrying about the heart. I'm very relieved for you.

lukas, you shoudn't say that.

Come on. Lets not downgrade others pain because you've been though bad things too. Its painful to loose someone you love...whether its from a disease, someone kills then or they kill themselves.

it dosnt bother me that she did, things happen, i was just using as a example of there are things worse then what his mom had and should remain calm and hope for the best
