I just came home from Southern California. Adapted pretty quickly to the local climate. I felt genuinely happy.

Shoveled the snow off the driveway in drab grey Indiana where the only color you see is manmade, otherwise everything's greyscale.

Sucks the life outta you.

Guess that's why they make beer.

Had in "interesting" weekend.

Sitting at home on Saturday with the kids, eating lunch and I start pouring sweat...in buckets. Get nauseous and my stomach goes nuts. Head to the bathroom and while I am doing my business, my left shoulder starts killing me. Then my chest starts tightening...crap. Give it a little bit and nothing changes. Wife gets home from shopping and asks me to help put things away. I'm like....I don't think so, I think I might be having a heart attack.

From there there is a mad dash to get the kids ready and in the car and off to the ER we head. We decided to not call an ambulance because the pain isn't horrendous.

Get to the ER around 1:30 and the sweating stopped but my shoulder and chest were still not happy. Get the usual EKG, blood tests and chest X-Ray. They don't seem too concerned, so the waiting game begins.

Finally, the doctor comes in and since my dad had a heart attach at 40 (I'm 35), they want to admit me. After a surprisingly short wait, they get me a room and run some more blood tests. Pain is coming and going. Some sweats, but not like the first one. Of course, the doctors don't tell me much at all. Given the lack of urgency, I assumed I didn't have to high of risks.

Crappy night of sleep ensues, more blood tests, being poked and prodded every couple hours.

Since I had no idea what was going on or how long I would be there, had to cancel my poker/super bowl parties. That sucked.

Sunday morning they tell me that they want to do a stress test....but not until Monday morning...so that means another night in the hospital. More poking and prodding. Bored out of my mind and had to watch the super bowl from my hospital bed...that was "fun".

Monda, Stress test that was supposed to be at 7am turned into 1030am. Plus the transport people were short staffed, so it took over 3.5 hours to get back to my room. While I am waiting for someone to take me to my room, I hear that my wife is trying to call for me. Knowing my wife, she wouldn't be calling unless somebody died. So I start freaking out thinking about what could be wrong. Finally a nurse let me use her chunk phone to call her. To my sweet relief, the wife was just worried about me and that I had checked back in, in so long. Good to know she cares. haha

Early afternoon yesterday, cardiologist and doctors come in and tell me that the heart tests are all clear other than high triglycerides (put me on Lipitor for that). They said that my episode could have been a million things. Could have been from my testosterone shots, could have been an anxiety attack (which there would have been no reason for), or it could be my gerd/reflux. I guess there are a million things that can cause sweating like that. Lovely.

Get home Monday evening, completely wore out and feeling like crap from being in the hospital bed for so long. Thing that sucks is that I don't know what really happened, but at least it wasn't my heart, so that is good.

Took yesterday off work too to get back to feeling like myself. You wouldn't believe how amazing that first shower at home felt. Ahhhhhhh

So yeah, I had an "interesting" weekend to say the least.

Hope everyone else had a better weekend.

That is a possibility. With my family medical history, the doctors said I made the right move. Pouring sweat, left should pain and chest pain...all that felt different from my normal heartburn issues...so yeah. It was too much of a risk to not go.

Man you are not kidding, That was one reason why I was so quick to get out of Ohio. Even the locals there would warn "Either GTFO or start taking opioids" For the longest time I had wondered why Diprivan was such a highly abused drug their amongst anesthesia. Sad thing is Memphis is not much better, Grayish haze even on clear sunny days. Summer is a lot better here but still not quite enough as it is gray most of the time but not all.

Can just feel the life leaving you all the damn time.

Very True,

I have seen (men especially) make the mistake of thinking it is heartburn and the next thing they know they waking up from being put on therapeutic hypothermia protocol and recovering from a massive heart attack and that of course is "IF" they are lucky enough to wake up.

This is the correct decision.

Good to hear you're clear. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't stay on top of risk factors. Don't get lost to follow up, and return to ER if it happens again.

We often blow off true coronary-origin symptoms when they're in younger patients. And especially when they've passed a stress test. But that's not to say you don't have problems that need intervention. Could have been dehydrated, and moreso if sweating, and some metabolic derangement, that contributed to symptoms ultimately caused by reduced coronary flow.

I've had patients pass all non invasive tests, and end up an acute case a week or two later requiring a stent or surgery.

It's not something to blow off.

GERD can mimic those same symptoms too. Then when you start thinking this is more than heartburn, anxiety builds and it snowballs. I see this often.

Just make sure you stick with follow up given family history man.

The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle states that the product of uncertainties in related physical quantities (e.g. position and momentum, energy and time, etc.) has a finite lower bound. This arises from the fact that the momentum and position operators do not commute. A common misunderstanding is that in simple terms this means that a measurement for position disturbs the momentum of a particle, and a measurement for the momentum of a particle dirsurbs its position. All of this information is false.

In other words, if you know the position of a particle and you measure the momentum, it disturbs the position - thus you are less certain of its position. This is incorrect.

In actuality, the uncertainty arises from fundamental underlying physical laws governing physical systems which can be measured. Particles have a fundamental dual nature and may be considered either a point source or a probability distribution of position depending upon what one is trying to accomplish by interacting with the particle.

Repeated measurements of particles in known/delivered states will give a distribution range governed by a probability function for either of the two conjugate properties, position (x) or momentum (p). The Uncertainty Principle gives a mathematically provable lower bound of the product of the uncertainty (error or deviation from a precise center of the probability wave law) in the measured conjugate properties.

Delta x*Delta p >/= h/2 = (h/2pi)/2 where pi approximates 3.14 and h is Planck's constant with h being Planck's reduced constant.

Thus the precision with which one can know one property is related mathematically to what is known of the conjugate property. If position is known with great precision for a specific particle or wave then the conjugate momentum is not known with a precision greater than that allowed by the lower bound provided by the Uncertainty Principle equation shown above.

Here is the derivation for the general uncertainty principle for two operators, A and B, that do not commute.

Let iC be the commutator of A and B:

[A,B] = iC

Furthermore, A and B are Hermitian operators. Recall the definition of the uncertainties:
(deltaA)^2 = {(A-{A})^2}
(deltaB)^2 = {(B-{B})^2}



interesting... looks like not all the IT errors have been resolved

The other thing that can mimic heart attack conditions is an "irritation" of the vega nerve (vaga? am I spelling it correctly dan?) ... apparently a nerve cluster somewhere in the abdomen.

Yep you got it, but in the end all that was needed was some Monistat cream. He could only afford the 7 day and could not get the one day treatment due to it was a little more pricey and his financial situation.

Don't worry, when I left the hospital, I told the staff to go eff themselves and went to Wendy's and had a Triple Cheeseburger with triple bacon, a large fry and a large coke. Then hopped over to taco bell for a couple 5 layer burritos. That will teach those schmucks for not telling me what was actually wrong with me.

Man is a rope stretched between the animal and the Superman--a rope over an abyss.

A dangerous crossing, a dangerous wayfaring, a dangerous looking-back, a dangerous trembling and halting.

What is great in man is that he is a bridge and not a goal: what is lovable in man is that he is an OVER-GOING and a DOWN-GOING.

I love those that know not how to live except as down-goers, for they are the over-goers.

I love the great despisers, because they are the great adorers, and arrows of longing for the other shore.

I love those who do not first seek a reason beyond the stars for going down and being sacrifices, but sacrifice themselves to the earth, that the earth of the Superman may hereafter arrive.

I love him who lives in order to know, and seeks to know in order that the Superman may hereafter live. Thus seeks he his own down-going.

I love him who labors and invents, that he may build the house for the Superman, and prepare for him earth, animal, and plant: for thus seeks he his own down-going.

I love him who loves his virtue: for virtue is the will to down-going, and an arrow of longing.

I love him who reserves no share of spirit for himself, but wants to be wholly the spirit of his virtue: thus walks he as spirit over the bridge.

I love him who makes his virtue his inclination and destiny: thus, for the sake of his virtue, he is willing to live on, or live no more.

I love him who desires not too many virtues. One virtue is more of a virtue than two, because it is more of a knot for one's destiny to cling to.

I love him whose soul is lavish, who wants no thanks and does not give back: for he always bestows, and desires not to keep for himself.

I love him who is ashamed when the dice fall in his favor, and who then asks: "Am I a dishonest player?"--for he is willing to succumb.

I love him who scatters golden words in advance of his deeds, and always does more than he promises: for he seeks his own down-going.

I love him who justifies the future ones, and redeems the past ones: for he is willing to succumb through the present ones.

I love him who chastens his God, because he loves his God: for he must succumb through the wrath of his God.

I love him whose soul is deep even in the wounding, and may succumb through a small matter: thus goes he willingly over the bridge.

I love him whose soul is so overfull that he forgets himself, and all things that are in him: thus all things become his down-going.

I love him who is of a free spirit and a free heart: thus is his head only the bowels of his heart; his heart, however, causes his down-going.

I love all who are like heavy drops falling one by one out of the dark cloud that lowers over man: they herald the coming of the lightning, and succumb as heralds.

Lo, I am a herald of the lightning, and a heavy drop out of the cloud: the lightning, however, is the SUPERMAN.


That Hank... full of love... and a desire to masturbate a lot.

One way to tackle the difficulty in dealing with infinite dimensions is to confine the allowed states to a sector of Hilbert space defined by a finite number of parameters. Among the infinite ways one could do this, the most common is to restrict oneself to Gaussian states. For zero mean values, these states can be completely characterized by their covariance matrix containing moments up to second order (e.g. 〈x 2〉,〈xp〉, etc.) (1). This simplification has allowed for many results from the realm of finite-dimensional discrete-variable entanglement to find their CV analog

bgz is a part time troll who likes to mess with people who take things too seriously...

Victor suffers from multiple personality disorder, so much of the disagreement you see in the politics section is just him going back and forth between his different profiles, trying to convince part of himself that the other parts of himself aren't crazy... oft times i sit in contemplation, wondering, "am i who i truly believe myself to be, or am i just Victor819 operating under a different name?"

Personally, I'm not very political but many of my very "stuck" opinions have become "unstuck" after conversing with people in the politics forum that i respect despite our different political leanings...

Come on, who doesn't know what Boolean Algebra is.... here is my simple definition... I just happened to write it for Wiki

In mathematics and mathematical logic, Boolean algebra is the branch of algebra in which the values of the variables are the truth values true and false, usually denoted 1 and 0 respectively. Instead of elementary algebra where the values of the variables are numbers, and the prime operations are addition and multiplication, the main operations of Boolean algebra are the conjunction and denoted as ∧, the disjunction or denoted as ∨, and the negation not denoted as ¬. It is thus a formalism for describing logical relations in the same way that ordinary algebra describes numeric relations.
