I'm worried because I'm sick these days.

I had so much back pain yesterday that I called 119 and went to the emergency room.

In the emergency room, the doctor told me that a torn aorta would cause extreme pain in my back. The doctor asked me several times whether I felt tearing pain in my back or chest.

The electrocardiogram, X-ray, and blood test results showed no abnormalities.

I was given a painkiller injection and an intravenous fluid injection, and two hours later the pain subsided and I was discharged.

I was still sick today, so I went to the hospital I used to go to.

When I told the doctor what happened yesterday, he said that a person with a ruptured aorta will die if he or she does not receive treatment within 24 hours, and that in my case, it wasn’t an aortic rupture. My pain is caused by a chronic disease.

I’m currently taking painkillers and anti-inflammatories, but if I have time in the future, I’ll go to University Hospital for a bone scan and consider changing my medication.
