Oops, read it on my phone and missed the thing about the medical staff saying it was a heart attack. Do you have blockages etc? Kind of random for someone young and skinny.

The doctor at the urgent care thought it was a heart attack. The doctor at the hospital said she immediately disagreed at a glance with the other doctor's EKG diagnosis and that the other tests confirmed her suspicion. They did a bunch of tests and I'm above average pretty much every category. Before I left the hospital, they basically said I'm perfectly fine and would be more than welcome to go on a run when I got home. For whatever it's worth, my BPM was averaging 52-3 while I was hooked up to the monitors. So I'm definitely not out of shape.
Scary indeed. Everything appeared fine. Hopefully the pain dissipates within the next couple of days--its been consistent for almost 30 hours now. Thanks @Satanstoenail
@Dak No blockages. They didn't do a CT scan, but tested hormone levels that would have risen if a blockage occurred.
The funny thing is is that the ensuing medical bill is going to ruin my cheap-as-possible plan to spend a month in Germany over the winter, which I was researching right before the pain started. It started as soon as I stood up after making a plan that would work out.

From the wikipedia page:
"
Costochondritis, also known as chest wall pain, costosternal syndrome, or costosternal chondrodynia[1] is an acute[2] and often temporary inflammation of thecostal cartilage, the structure that connects each rib to the sternum at the costosternal joint. The condition is a common cause of chest pain.[1][3][4] Though costochondritis often resolves on its own, it can be a recurring condition that has little or no signs of onset.[5]
Costochondritis symptoms can be similar to the chest pain associated with a heart attack.[6][7] Unexplained chest pain is considered a medical emergency until life-threatening cardiac issues can be ruled out.[4][7] Severe cases of costal cartilage inflammation that also involve painful swelling are sometimes referred to as Tietze's syndrome, a term sometimes used interchangeably with costochondritis. However, some physicians view costochondritis and Tietze's syndrome as separate disease states due to the absence of costal cartilage swelling in costochondritis."

Death has come
Yeah seriously man, Ive had similar shit happen to me and It turned out it was anxious, combination of school and a lingering fear that I will die of a heart attack if I don't get off my lazy ass. Also I drink with my friends too much
Fuck it though, If i have a disease I don't want to know, Id honestly rather it kill me

Good to know you're alright @Black Orifice . Everyone take care of yourselves! I know we drink and abuse our bodies a bit but show it some TLC too. Anyways, glad to hear it wasn't a heart attack! That's scary. Also, I've heard of young people having heart attacks before as well.
Quick amusing story time, one of my 7th grader just turned 15. She's usually a huge pain in the ass but she did an amazing job in both social studies and science today. I took a chance to call her mom to give her a good phone call and her mother was high as fuck and rambled on about 4/20 to me.... Im not sure f this woman knows that it was yesterday. But yeah.

That sounds like a hilarious but also very awkward phone call!
I find where I'm at that the majority of the parents of the students that misbehave don't really care if they do well or not which is sad.

That's true. I find that is the case with the worse students too. Sometimes though, the parents here don't have the time to properly raise their kids because they are at work. But heh it is what it is.
It was pretty funny in a "you can't make this sorta stuff up" kinda way.

Yeah, I never realised how big of a barrier to learning coming from a bad home is until I became a teacher. There are students where just getting them to come to college in is a big enough challenge, any learning they actually do is a bonus.. They don't have great role models to know how to behave when they are in an educational environment and when you are unable to effectively communicate with their parents because they simply don't care, then it becomes very difficult to change the inappropriate behaviour. A lot of the learners where I'm at simply lack the motivation because their parents don't have any qualifications either.
At the same time though, my mother swears all the time (like literally every other word) and has done infront of me all my life, and often makes flippant and offensive comments. However, I knew that this behaviour simply wasn't acceptable in a teaching and learning environment. Many of the learners I teach apparently don't.

@Phylactery oh you teach college? I feel by then students should have their act together but it doesn't surprise me that many don't especially if they are freshmen.
I definitely understand. I think at a certain point there's so much you can blame the parent for. When you become old enough to see that your parent does not always do the right thing or make the right choices you should deviate from whatever behaviors you see them doing that wouldn't help you. Or you should know to.
But yes many things surprise me. My mom is from Jamaica and the standard of being "professional" is super high. There's even a Jamaican motto "kids are to be seen and not heard." Ive never had a behavioral issue at school. Here it's just like anything goes n these kids can't follow directions or rules.
my principal is trying to push teachers to plan trips but I'm not taking any kid out of that building if they can't follow directions and don't listen.

Well today sucks. My grandmother passed away overnight due to her battle with cancer. 92 years old. Not many people can say they've lived that long.

I went to the ER once because I thought I had an STD and it turns out I was allergic to the condoms with spermicidal lubricant. I found that out 800 dollars later.
