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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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
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, I spat up blood and had horrible chest pain. My mom still made me go to school, claiming she needed to take the cat to the vet instead of taking me to the doctor. FML
Today, I woke up with horrible pain in my gut. It got worse and worse, and I started vomiting from the pain. My mom said it was the flu and that I needed to "man up." It turned out to be appendicitis, and I'm now typing this from my hospital bed. FML
Today, I complained to my parents about chest pains. My mom said, "For fuck’s sake, it’s our day off. Can we just have ONE day without your drama?" Turns out, I was actually having a heart attack. She still won’t apologize, and is in fact mad at me for having a heart attack on her day off. FML
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 was in class and felt a sharp pain in my stomach. I began to scream and cry because the pain was horrible, so the teacher called 911. After being rushed to the hospital, I was told that "I had gas cramps and would be fine." My whole class was listening on speakerphone to make sure I was ok. FML
Today, I woke up feeling ill. My mom sent me to school anyway, and grounded me for "lying" about being sick. As soon as I got to school, I began vomiting blood. FML
Today, I was in agonizing pain and couldn't move. My parents said they couldn't take me to the ER until the football game on TV was over. FML
Today, I couldn't find the keys to open the store I work at. The resulting stress gave me chest pains that ended up sending me to the hospital. I still missed work and my father found the keys under the passenger seat in his car. The same seat I sat in on the way to the hospital. FML

You’re alive to write that, so your parents were right. And, you didn’t miss a day of school!

Seriously this is just asinine

Get in a foster home. That’s straight up neglect.

Being forced to go to school, anyway.

If every parent let their kid have the day off to see a doctor every time they claimed something was wrong, schools would be empty.

Oh, no, I hope you're okay. It could be an anxiety attack, gall bladder disease (although you're a bit young for that), or acid reflux.

Very unlikely to be a heart attack since you are clearly young, but it may be severe acid reflux, which could be a sign of GERDS disease. Doctor should be able to tell.

Could be a singing Xenomorph. Next time don't order the "Special."

Hope you're getting better! I had a lot of sick days when I was in school, but nothing hospital-serious. (But I'm also curious about what was causing your symptoms)

Sometimes I have panic attacks in my sleep, and I wake up feeling like there’s an elephant sitting on my chest and it hurts to take deep breaths. If that’s what it feels like, it was probably a panic attack.

i've known people having heart attacks that felt like they had something heavy sitting on their chest.
