Though we had a good time at Saddlerock this weekend, I wasn't feeling up to snuff. On Friday night my heart started racing and stayed at a high level for 2-3 hours. I thought I might be having a panic attack, even though I was under no stress whatsoever. All weekend I felt a little weird with some trouble getting a breath, and discomfort in my chest. Monday I started feeling worse and went to the doctor who did an ekg and found nothing wrong there and gave me a referral to a cardiologist. I cancelled my string classes and stayed on the couch most of the day. As evening rolled around, I felt that it became harder and harder to catch my breath, so I called Hal who took me to the ER.
We spent 4 1/2 hours there with each staff member (about 10-12) apologizing for how busy it was and how long each wait was. Another ekg, blood work and a chest x-ray. The upshot was that they found nothing wrong with me at all. Our best guess is that I am running through a virus.
This morning I woke up being able to breathe much better, like normal, but feeling wiped out, so I cancelled all classes today and am going to rest, rest, rest. Tomorrow is a holiday at school, so I am going to be good to go by Thursday, I'm sure.

Hope you get some great rest. I'm envious that you're under no stress whatsoever (at least until this happened). Take care.
Scary! I know some one who just went through a similar experience. With no other explanation you've got to blame it on a virus!
