I didn't know what it was and it got so bad I was rushed to the hospital thinking I was having a heart attack at 2:30 in the morning. It was the pressure that caused it. Now I take a little pill and it doesn't happen any more. Moral: don't wait too long to have this checked. Thinking I was having a heart attack was scary.
OMG that sounds so scary. The vomit is soooo horrible because I had my nose done two years ago and so all that acid makes my nose burn horribly besides the fact that I hate throwing up (Not that anyone likes it). I would freak if I thougth I was having a heartattack. So am I supposed to be on pills forever now??? I don't like that idea
