Yup the ER is the right decision. If you're wrong, you just waisted a little time, if you're right, then you just saved your life. Smart choice I say.

Long you live and high you fly
And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry
And all you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be.

Ok! So. Ten hours in the ER later, a CT scan on chest and belly, blood pressure testing and blood work.. No answer! My chest looks clear of any blood clots, as do my legs. Blood work showed that my white blood cell count was a little elevates but doc said thats to be expected for someone who just has surgery. My blood pressure was ok. Not low and not high high .. Only thing they found was that my heart rate is a little elevated.. No found reason for the near passing out moments.. Oh well.. They pumped me with two litres of iv fluid as i was low on fluids.. Yep sitting in hospital ER will do that to ya... So like i said no real answer but at least i can rest assured that i have no clots forming in chest! I have follow up for one week with Dr Yelle next thursday and will talk to him about it then! Happy to be home now- thirsty and dare i say it? Hungry? Going to drink some protein shake and water and off to bed!

" i was low on fluids"

Low on fluids means you need to drink MORe.. and then MORE

To get pumped up with 2 L is an awful lot andif you noticed that you felt better after you were rehydrated then I suspect that's the answer.

Glad you're oki
