yikes that would be scary!!! I know cell phone here when we dial 911 I believe if you are out of the area you have to also dial the area code or you get your 911. Like I live in Florida but I also have a house in NC. My area code is 561 but since my phone is registered here as local if I need to dial 911 I just dial 911. However if I am at my house in NC and there is a emergency I would need to dial my area code 828 first so it would be 828-911 to get the local 911 otherwise I'm dialing 911 800 miles away.

OK that is scary for you to be feeling like you were going to pass out - yikes. I think I would h ave flipped out if I was your wife. Glad everything worked out. My hubby has high blood pressure an I know had a issue one time but his was to the point he had to pop some nitro tabs, that was his second heart attack. He got home and I took him to the ER, scary times for sure.
