Go to the ER. As someone with heart problems herself I always say that you only have one heart so I would absolutely get it checked out. At least get an ECG workup done. Nausea and vomiting alongside an irregular heartbeat can be a symptom of atrial fibrillation which would be confirmed with an ECG. I hate to worry people but the symptoms you mentioned can also be a sign of a heart attack and the longer that goes on the more damage this could be doing to your heart. Get to the hospital ASAP!

Found the American... 🥴

So, are you still alive?

I always ask myself, “is this worth driving across town and waiting in a gross lobby for 4 hours?”

You okay?

Kind of sounds like a magnesium deficiency. My buddy had that exact same thing happen to him. Got really weak too.

Get it looked at soon, for sure!

I've had something similar other than the heart rate stuff, and like top comment says it was acid reflux. But if an irregular heart rhythm persists more than you have felt before, then absolutely go!

Do you have any chest, arm or back pain? Do you have a pulse oximeter?

Can you go to a minor ER? If you hadn't said your heartbeat was off, I would say not necessarily a big concern at this point, but this also sounds similar to what happened to a friend of mine with an aortic dissection.

She thought it was food poisoning at first, finally went to a minor med, they refused to treat her bc her and sent her to the ER ASAP. She ended up in the hospital for several weeks.

Sounds like a seizure. Of what kind, dunno. If it's candy, might be diabetes.

It's just guesswork though. Only a doctor visit will say for sure.

> Makes thread asking if you should go to the ER

> Literally everyone says to go to the ER

> Doesn't go to the ER

ok

Yeah this is hospital visit worthy. Please seek medical attention

I suppose this person needs some advice from someone who actually lives in that hellhole and can judge if its not better to just die instead of fucking up the inheritance by going to the ER.

This is the best anticapitalist propaganda I have ever seen and its not even intentional.

To everyone who thinks this is a worthy system: i wont piss on you if you're on fire.

What the heck, how is this a question at all? Dude you need to get help asap!

USA, USA, USA!

Genuinely don't know and don't like 911 since police are involved.

911 dispatcher in the US here

This will vary a lot from one jurisdiction to another, I can really only speak to county I work in

But while in theory every EMS call also gets a police response, probably more than half of them the only action the police take is to tell us "not responding unless requested"

And if they do respond, a lot of time they don't do much besides sit at the end of the driveway with their lights flashing so the ambulance can find the house easier.

Things like overdoses, assaults, shootings/stabbings, psych emergencies, cardiac arrests, etc. they do of course show up to because they may actually need to do something.

And if you live in a bigger city or rougher part of the suburbs, sometimes they may even take their sweet-ass time getting to those.

And if you live in a rural area, there's a decent chance you're covered by some part time or regional police department, or state police/county sheriffs who are stretched way too thin covering a huge area with maybe 2 or 3 officers on duty at any one time, they're probably not gonna show up in a hurry if at all either.

Like I said, it varies a lot, some towns in my county I can count on police being there before the ambulance (whether or not they actually do anything once they're there in a different story) and in others the cops don't give half a fuck unless someone is actively dying.

If you do find yourself calling 911 though, for the love of God, don't tell them you don't want police on your medical call, I swear that might be the most surefire way to make sure they do actually show up in a hurry. If that ends up in the notes of the call it makes the cops think you're hiding something or I don't know, planning to jump the EMS squad or something, some cops can be pretty panicky, paranoid weirdos like that, or sometimes just spiteful.

Seek medical attention now!

Your life is worth much more than the price for emergency care <3

Seek medical attention now!

Go to ER.

In the US, they are required to provide care for actute condition (meaning chronic, aka: along term conditions like cancer or diabeted can be legally ignored), so if you are about to die, they are required by law to stop you from dying.

Worry about the debt later. Or just ignore any invoices/bills... they can't seize anything if you have no assets, debt is gone in 7 years.

Edit: If they ask for your social, say you forgot. Don't provide anything other than basic name, birthday, gender, that sort of stuff.

Might be a heart attack
