Emergency!

By Not dying. - 21/04/2015 07:55 - United Kingdom - Watford

Today, I started getting really bad chest pains at work. I googled it and the internet convinced me I was having a heart attack. Scared for my life, I started to dial for an ambulance when I let out the biggest fart you could ever imagine. Turns out it was trapped gas. FML

Never use the Internet to check your symptoms. Never.

What'd you expect them to do? What if it really was a heart attack, but they didn't call an ambulance because "Don't believe the internet"?

your course of action was correct. if you have chest pain don't **** around. it turned out to not be a heart attack, which is good. better to call for an ambulance ride and not have a heart attack than to ignore a heart attack and end up dead or with additional permanent damage because you ignored it and the damage got worse.

I'm curious to hear this fart.

I have an aunt which actually was brought into the hospital by her husband because of the same reason! So embarrassing! At least you didn't go that far!

How is this an FML? You didn't have a heart attack!!!!!

You ******* idiot you think you can self diagnose a heart attack while having a heart attack? Have you ever had one before? You wouldn't be able to operate anything, you would be on the floor clutching your chest... Overreacting like a little girl? Indeed

Googling you symptoms is the best way to convince yourself you are dying.

Yep! My hubby thought it was a heart attack twice: once it was gas, the next it was rib out of place.

Dying or cancer those are the only two things the internet says you have....for ANYTHING.

You are neither the first not the last person to mistake gas for a heart attack. Glad you're ok, OP.
