My Easter weekend holiday is not what I had planned
So this is a 4 day long weekend to celebrate Easter, well even if you don’t you still get a long weekend. I planned to spend it with my family, going to the beach and movies. Maybe doing a little DIY around the house before some friends came to stay a couple nights.
Well yesterday all the plans went out the window when I was at work and started feeling really unwell, dizzy, dry mouth, And a tightness in my chest going up into my Jaw. I went into the Dr surgery opposite my building and they took me into the treatment room out the back. The world was spinning, I was having trouble breathing and basically freaking out. The paramedics came and took me to our brand new $3.5 Billion dollar Sunshine Coast University Hospital.
Thankfully my symptoms abated and the blood tests showed it wasn’t a full Heart attack but still the question of what caused this sudden onset of the symptoms? So a cardiac stress test was scheduled for this morning I was moved to one of the really nice private rooms in the cardiac ward, I was feeling pretty good so I though I’d be home by lunch. EXCEPT I failed the stress test!!!
So what’s next, I need to get a Cardio Angiogram...
Only one problem.
I Can’t have it done until Monday so I get this beautiful hotel room like hospital room with 24hr room service until then.
Who knows what this will show but here I stay until they say I can go home or we find out what is causing all this nonsense.
Lucky you are in Australia not sure insurance in the US would pay for a bed while waiting for a test. Hope it turns out ok.
It’s a public hospital. It’s all free.
Australians pay a small levy on our income tax called Medicare.
Yes I’m australian but living in the US so I know how great the system can be there. Hope things work out for you.
Thanks mate. Try keep out of the health system in the good ol USA. Or at least make sure you’ve got great insurance.
We have ok health insurance I think the trouble is you don’t know how good it is until you have to use it.
Hope it is nothing serious. Rest and enjoy the next few days in this well equiped hospital. Have a Blessed Easter despite being inside and God Bless.

Thanks. Finger crossed for the Angiogram tomorrow.
Have a good nights sleep and I’ll say a prayer for you in the meantime. 🙏
Certaianly hope this wasn’t anything serious for you. Time to de-stress, and do whatever the doctor says. Hoping you feel better ASAP and that you are out in no time.🐓🐓
Thanks. I hope my tests have good results or at least show what caused this very traumatic episode.
Hang in there as you wait patiently from your bed. Wishing you a Happy Easter! Hoping you get the golden egg with good news. 🐓🐓
