I started my new job this last week and for the most part it is going great, but I keep having confrontations with this twitty little coworker who thinks she knows everything but has worked in childcare for at most 2 years when I have worked in it for 15. It's a long story, but she bit my head off on my way out the door for break yesterday and I went to the directors about it and they were on my side. Thankfully they sent her home before I got back.
Anyway, all last night I felt sick to my stomach, but in a weird way, and my chest was a bit tight and hard to catch my breath on occasion. I just attributed it to the situation at work and thought it was just anxiety. I was completely exhausted, but normal for a first week of work after 10.5 months of unemployment. I occasionally have these spells where I stand up after sitting for a while and I get really dizzy, get tunnel vision, and everything goes black for a second and then it immediately goes away and I'm fine. Well, last night I started having that while sitting down, which has never happened before. Again, I thought I was just really tired and went to bed and my chest felt really funny when I would lay down. Tight and hard to breath right. I fell asleep though and slept from midnight until 2pm.
I got up this morning and my arms, legs, hands, feet and face were all swollen. More so on the right side of my body than the left. I could barely move my fingers on my right hand. I have pitting edema on my legs, but I get that occasionally. My hands and feet have never been swollen before, though. My husband said it was probably the way that I layed in bed, but I lay the same way every night and this has never happened before. I did notice the other day I had taken my rings off a few days before hand and forgot to put them on, when I went to put them on I had to push really hard which isn't normal. Now I can't get them off at all.
All day today I have felt terrible. Again, chest tight and short of breath. I have a cough that feels strange deep in my chest, down by my waist. Dizzy like crazy and I get those spells again when sitting. Twice in the past half an hour I felt like I was going to pass out from it. I'm a little nauseous and shaky.
I can't afford to get sick. I can't afford to miss work if something is wrong. We can't afford for me to go to the ER if it comes down to that. I don't understand what is going on with me right now. I've never experienced any of this before. It's a little freaky.
