I went into the ER because for the past three days I could not sleep. Something kept stirring me up as I was about to fall asleep, and if I did manage to fall asleep, I'd wake up soon after, heart pounding. One night I didn't even get so much as a second a sleep and started to have auditory hallucinations accompanied by minor visual hallucinations. In short, I did not get quality care here. Just an indifferent doctor whom did not want to spend the time to get a proper diagnosis. Their solution? Benadryl. I was discharged. I immediately sought care elsewhere, and was diagnosed with sleep apnea; my brain was keeping me awake since I would stop breathing in the night, registering it as a danger. I am in good care now and am glad I can put those harrowing nights behind me. I would not recommend this ER in the least. I gained nothing from it, aside from my own observation that I was able to doze off a little by sitting up versus lying down and because of that posture change my breathing continued a bit more steadily though far from perfect. But that was my own discovery- to which I do not credit this establishment.
