For the last couple of days, I have been suffering from a bout of nausea. I couldn’t eat anything the last day. The nausea was causing chest pains and burning, as if wanting to vomit all day wasn’t bad enough.
I got an appointment with my doctor today, before I knew it I was having blood drawn, blood pressure taken, my chest listened to, blood sugar tested, and even an EKG test.

The EKG was a bit different from the normal testing apparatus I am used to. Pick me, prod me, swab things in my mouth for analysis, all of these are good and understandable. Having to shave parts of my chest and legs to stick electrodes to them seemed a bit overboard. It was a simple test, only taking about 20 seconds from the moment the machine was started. I should also say, the EKG was more for my family history and my complaint of chest pain, and not just based on that complaint alone.

With all of this said, the EKG came back good, my blood pressure was normal, my blood sugar was in check, and my blood count was normal. Doc said it could be caused from something I ate, a virus, or even stress. Won’t know for sure until the liver tests come back. For now, preventive messures by taking prilosec. Yeah, all of those tests and I get prescribed an over the counter drug. It could be worse I suppose, and I am already feeling better.
