So I had myself convinced I was having a heart attack. I was having persistent chest pain on the left side with some radiating arm pain. So I think to myself..."that is where my heart is...I am middle aged..." Panic sets in. I do some internet researching which seems to confirm this self-diagnosis. All the sites, including Web MD, say go to the doctor and get checked out. So I do so yesterday.

Well, I am not having a heart attack, it turns out my killer tote bag done me in and I had bruising of the soft tissue on my chest bone from carrying too heavy a bag over my shoulder when I went to Seattle. I also strained my arm a bit from carrying the gihugic bag.

No heart attack but I am in a lot of pain. Prescribed ibuprophen, ice and variable heat.

Augh!
