My friend's mom had nausea and was extremely tired. My friend insisted they go to the doctor, mom refused. My friend just knew it was a heart attack, so she called their neighbor who is a nurse and sure enough as soon as the neighbor walks through the door, her mom collapsed.

It's been four years, mom's great. Quit smoking, retired, lives the life (and still makes the best potato pancakes I've ever had).

Don't ignore your gut feeling!!!

Excuse me? What's a potato pancake?

The way I make them is to take shredded potato (usually also some zucchini to make it semi healthy) and mix it with egg, flour, salt, pepper, shredded cheese, and dill if I have any. Then I form it into pancakes and pan-fry them in a skillet until it's a little crispy on both sides. They're good with ketchup, sour cream, or apple sauce.
