Health: Are you sure?

Are you sure?

Today, I went to see a doctor because I have been feeling of pressure in my chest. After running numerous tests, I was told I was perfectly healthy and had nothing to worry about. I made it as far as the front door before I collapsed and had to be rushed to the hospital. FML

Today, I went to the doctor for a routine check-up. When the nurse took my blood pressure, I passed out, and fell off the table. FML

Hit the gym

Today, after months of my doctor telling me that my heart palpitations are simply due to anxiety, and that I'm perfectly healthy, I decided to weight train to face my fears. Two hours later, I was in the emergency room. FML

Today, I woke up my friend and had him take me to the ER. I had trouble breathing and my chest hurt, so the doctor put me on an EKG and took X-rays. I had strained my chest lifting weights at the gym earlier that day and pulled a muscle, and now thanks to my massive anxiety I have a $700 hospital bill. FML

Today, my doctor died. Last week, after a check up I'd had because I was worried about a cough, he told me not to worry because I was as healthy as he was. FML

Today, I went to the emergency room with chest pain. I didn't have a heart attack, but I now have a broken nose after passing out and face-planting in the waiting room. FML

Full of it

Today, I felt a very sharp pain, like my appendix was going to burst. After going to the doctor, I was rushed to the hospital to get tests done. The doctors later told me there's nothing wrong, I was just constipated. I went to the hospital for them to basically tell me I'm full of shit. FML

Today, I woke up with chest pain. It hurt just to breathe, but my parents made me go to school anyway. We're now sitting in the emergency room. FML

Today, I was just released from hospital after a heart attack. As a 37 year-old woman with healthy habits and no family history of heart issues, the doctors have no idea why it happened. So instead of telling me how to change my lifestyle, they told me to proceed as usual, and hope that it doesn't happen again. FML

Today, I went to see a doctor due to some gastric distress I have. I came out with directions to buy a blood pressure monitor, I'm prohibited from doing sports, and have a possible diagnosis of arterial hypertension which I am way too young to have. FML

Today, I sat in my doctor's office and broke down, crying and shaking, with a blood pressure of 190, getting off my chest everything that has gone wrong in my life lately. To which the doctor, well into her sixties, replied, "My goodness, I've never met anyone with so many problems!" FML

Good news: you're already near a doctor! Bad news: not a very good doctor..

Well, at least you were at a doctors office when it happened, and not driving on the road home.

As you were rushed by the lab, did you notice the only thing in there was a dart board with labels on it?

I've met this sort of treatment before. "You're in inconsolable pain and your doctor called ahead for an appendectomy consultation? Great, let's get tha- Wait, you have ovarian cysts? Nevermind, cancel the consultation, it's just lady stuff." My appendix nearly ruptured.

It isn't always easy to detect problems in your body. In the defence of the doctor, he's a human and couldn't identify a problem even though he ran numerous tests. I don't think I can really blame the doctor for being bad after OP mentioned numerous tests were taken

What was the problem why did you collapse? And I hope you get better soon!

I hope you're ok. At least you collapsed at the doctor's office rather than on the road.

AT LEAST the tv didn't fall on you and kill you? Then we would've never heard this great story

Did he say you were completely healthy or that the tests were completely normal? Some people hear the first one being said and assume it means they're healthy. Either way I hope it all gets figured out! Having no diagnosis for an ailment is super ******* stressful.
