Isnt the donut thing an MRI??????? Medical tech has come a long ways. I remember going in a tube which it was a CAT scan and I like the MRI donut thing much better. Hated the iodine dye..

Eating sugary foods, caffeine, etc, can cause a lot of the symptoms you're describing. Especially the fact that you said you feel BETTER if you eat something sugary. That is an important signal. Even while you're waiting for the results of your tests, I would take a serious look at your diet and consider cutting out sugar, caffeine (coffee & sodas) for a couple of weeks and also make sure you're getting enough protein and vegetables and other nutrition. Alot of people eat excessive carbs too throughout the day without getting the nutrition they need. You would be amazed at how much what you eat can give you symptoms like these.

My latest example: I was putting a lot of artificial sweetener (Equal, Splenda, etc) in my coffee daily (for a year or two) and I started having vision problems after using it each time. Took a while to figure out what it was, but I found out it was the artificial sweeteners -- I did some research and man they are nasty chemicals in there -- my vision was 100% fine after I stopped. Now I use honey or agave syrup.

Hope you figure it out and feel better soon!

You have to get to the bottom of this ASAP. Look at all those kids that drop
dead on the basketball courts from weak hearts.

You need a stress test and blood work. Neither could be done at an ER.
(Well bloodwork yes but results take a while)

What is going on here? These are serious symptoms being thrown around
a chicken forum. Or is there something else going on?

How are you feeling? I hope you can get to MRI quick, shouldn't have to keep being in pain. I've had cat scan like you described a couple times. If they suspect brain bleed, that's not serious? I'm sorry your head is hurting. Is there anything you can do for the pain? Take care

I didn't see it, did they do an EKG? Stress test???

I'm more concerned that they do an MRI on your heart rather than your head!

I still can't believe they let you come home!

If they didn't do an EKG or stress test, have them do it.

they said they didn't think the problem was my heart, it could've been that i have some kind of thing were you have fast heart rate, or a result of not gettin enough oxygen in my brain, all kinds of stuff. I almost past out in the waiting room cause' i was so dizzy so i really didn't get all the options for my heart that they were thinking of. Right now my head still hurts, it feels like a huge amount of pressure is on it like a BIG migraine i'm kinda nauseated, and my eyes are a little watery. Thanks for all your support guys, its kinda hard right now because my family oesn't know what to do so they kinda are keeping everythin superficial, and seperating themselves from me, which is understandable considering i don't even know what to do or feel *sigh* to much drama..........................
On a side note its day 4 on my eggs in the bator and they look great! YAY!!!

So you have an appointment tomorrow morning? If not and your in that much pain you need to go to the ER at a different hospital if they can't treat you at the one you went to.
