I'm so tired. May I talk?

32. You need to see a cardiologist

I have heart disease. Several years ago, I could barely walk 10 paces without needing to rest. Couldn't lay flat, because my heart wasn't pumping blood properly. I felt like I was drowning. I spent 3 weeks in the hospital. I am on meds now that keep my ticker working properly. Don't you have a neighbor, who would drive you to the ER (emergency room)?

I'll bet there's someone here on DU that lives in your vicinity, who would gladly drive you to the ER or at least drive you to a cardiologist or primary care Dr after you make an appointment. You can always call 911, and the fire dept will take you to a hospital. Please don't sit around feeling sorry for yourself. Stop telling yourself that you are helpless. You have a perfectly good mind to figure out a plan to get some medical help. Most states require all ERs take patients no matter what - with or without health insurance.

Call an ER and speak to the admitting desk. Tell them your health problem and ask for Help. You may feel helpless, but you are not helpless.

Sorry if my post seems harsh. That's not my intention. I want you to feel well and happy. But you must see a Dr.
