 fivegonefishingTammy-
 
 Glad you re feeling a bit better. Wait for your doc to tell you what the " sliver"  was. Terminology in different health care facilities can really be-well- unusual!
 
 Take care and keep us informed!

 fivegonefishingAbout 10 years ago, I thought I was having a heart attack, went to the ER, what they said, after an EKG and other tests (the military does run a BUNCH of tests when they have you where you can t get away), as muscular-skeletal, evidently happens to a lot of people as they turn 40, thereabouts. I was less than 40 at the time. Then about 6 years ago, I had a mild heart attack ad now take covera for angina.
 I can definitly relate to the fear, especially with little ones (Jeffrey was about 4 then). Take care of your self, watch the salt and the caffine.

 fivegonefishingTammy, could it be the pulled muscle you thought before?  Those can be killers, and last for about a week.  I had it happen twice and went to the hospital, thinking it might be heart-related, but it wasn t - thankfully.  
 At least it wasn t the pericarditis - good news!  Hope your feeling good!

 fivegonefishingglad it wasn t the pericarditis.  My brother developed that a couple of months ago.  It was very strange.  He d been sick, then he developed really bad upper back pain in the shoulder blades and hard to breathe.  He suffered with it for a couple of days before we made him go to the ER.  He was in the hospital for a week.  He actually had a small bout of it again a couple of weeks ago, but he was aware of the pain and this time nipped it in the bud by starting medication right away.  As for the heart rate and feeling of it beating out of your chest and being short of breath, have your doctor test you for tacychardia.  I found out I had it after having those same symptoms and thinking what the heck is going on...never had had a problem with walking or running before.  One quick trip to the ER by ambulance diagnosed it might quick!!  My doc started me on a beta blocker and I haven t had a problem with it since.
