Definition of Irony
Wednesday December 19, 2007 // Share on Facebook
No sooner do I make a couple of posts about my fitness routine and some healthy eating tips than I find myself going to the ER this morning because of chest pains. That, my friends, is the definition of irony.
Turns out I have Costochondritis, which means the cartilage that connects my ribs & sternum is inflamed. I felt a bit silly for going to the ER for heart pains (a 28-year-old shouldn’t be having a heart-attack) but after I read that “Costochondritis symptoms are similar to the chest pain associated with a heart attack,” I felt a bit better.
So now I have to take it easy and pop some pills to ease the pain & inflammation. Good news is that my heart was given a clean bill of health!

I had the same experience last year. Went to ER too. Doc gave me a shot of morphine and some pain killer pills for when the shot wears off. Mine went away in a couple of days. So hopefully you get well just in time for Christmas.
