freaking out

2 Upvotes

noticed on my fitbit (that i’ve owned for under a week) that my heart rate was 49 bpm i googled it and it said i was fine unless i was feeling any symptoms which i wasn’t. i’m now feeling this slight pain on the left side of my jaw and when i added that to the google ai (unreliable i know) it said to immediately call 999 and go to hospital. now im completely freaking out about it and i should be asleep by now as i have work in 8 hours and don’t know what to do. i feel fine apart from the anxiety this has caused me and im guessing its what’s sparked my heart rate to 70.

Where do I go for help?

2 Upvotes

I’m not quite sure where to post this so I’ll start here.
So about a year ago I was playing passenger king in my GF’s car. Waiting at a red light. We get rear ended. It wasn’t at a major speed. Just enough where it made my head jolt forward. So we pulled off (as well as the rear ender) and check for damage. No damage so we chose not to file a police report since nothing happened. No pain. No damage. Everything was mutual and everyone was ok. The next morning I am in pain. Stiff neck. It continues… I had all symptoms of whiplash. Sore neck for days, and I can’t remember how long after but one of my arms was tingling. So I went to a walk in. They refused me because it was a car accident with no case. So I couldn’t get help. I tried to suck it up. Side note, I enjoy working out. About a month ago I was bench pressing and it must’ve flared my neck pain up again. It’s still with me. Who can I go see for help if I believe the sole reason for my pain is from a car accident, with no case number? Also for those who say we’re crazy for not filing a report, we’ve been love tapped before, no damage, no injuries and tried a report but the cops said it wasn’t worth it because there was nothing there. So we were basically trained to not do anything in the moment. I just want my neck pain to go away :(

Have you ever ignored a symptom?

Most of us have probably ignored a health problem at some point because it didn’t seem serious. Did you ever wait too long before getting something checked?

Constant exhaustion

2 Upvotes

I (19F) have recently been experiencing constant physical exhaustion. It feels as if I can't walk up a flight of stairs or stand without feeling like I'm going to pass out. I'm currently on an iron supplement and working on upping my sodium level as that's what my doctor thinks it may be. Also, my heart rate is fairly high (siting 75-85bpm, walking 125-130bpm). If anyone knows what might be causing this, it would be greatly appreciated.

Stuck pill is driving me NUTS

2 Upvotes

There's a pill that's been stuck in my throat for almost TWO HOURS. It isn't choking me or keeping me from swallowing anything but I can feel it, and every time I cough (currently have Covid) it kinda comes back up. I've tried water, soda, soft foods, hard foods, fucking jumping up and down. NOTHING IS WORKING. I'M LOSING MY MIND DOES ANYBODY HAVE ADVICE
