Carla, thanks for this.
I did go to A-n-E, but the waiting time was 12 hours, and I gave up after 6, because I had work to do, and they'd put me as 'Not very urgent'. I took that as a good sign. It also meant I could have been there indefinitely, because anybody in any of the three more-urgent categories would've been seen before me.
The problem is most likely a combination of too much caffeine/sugar, plus stress, plus the weakening effect of whatever it was I had last year.
I have a hawthorn twig I'm going to make tea with, because it seems it can't hurt.
I also spoke to a Polish healthfood shop owner, who said, "If it's the heart, it's probably stress-related. If you're gonna die, you're gonna die, regardless of how many supplements you take, so stop making things worse by getting stressed, and appreciate the present moment!" This was refreshing, and mildly shocking to hear from someone who makes a living selling supplements and healthfood!
Things are in flux a bit much to go to the doctor, but I will at some point. In the meantime, I'll try some of the non-controversial herbal remedies, like hawthorn and St. John's wort.
Thanks for the tips!
