I post from the hospital. Last night, I had a heart attack. In order for me to be admitted for further help, I was forced swabbed up the nose. This scared me more than the heart attack; fyi I'm not old, no high cholesterol or fat, no reason they can identify for the heart attack. But back to the nose swab... please someone offer me words of comfort here I really feel so scared about THAT alone

It's gross, but you are probably safer from that than the known heart attack! I pray that it was just a twitch. Remember, if they can get a positive test it is worth extra $ in some cases. That doesn't mean they are trying to infect you. People get sicker in hospitals because they are full of sick people and their possibly sick relatives, so the one blessing about the current isolation is it cuts down your exposure to others.
