Last post was from the ER on Friday morning. I was about to answer the post to say it could be a heart attack when I noticed the date and time. Does anyone know?

She's doing fine, nothing serious to report.
She had a vaso-vagal response which is not uncommon.
It tends to happen at times when you stand up too quickly or, as in her case (if I remember correctly)she was bending over to tie her shoes when it happened.
Maybe she'll chime in here.

(21,484 posts)and hey, everybody. I am fine and I'm sorry I didn't check in sooner. They did a bunch of tests and found that with one or two not-immediately-life-threatening exceptions, I am fine.
Thanks to everyone for the good wishes, vibes and prayers. It means a lot to me that people care. DU has its problem areas (achoo-gd!), but on the whole we do really care about each other.

I hate getting old. Makes you suspicious of everything. Stay strong!
