I'm 33 Years Old ,and I Think I Might Of

I'm 33 years old ,and I think I might of had a mini stroke ! I've been under an extreme amount of stress lately....I say lately but , seems to be more lately than not . Anyway , I was hoping you could give me some good feedback on what it is you think I should do. Okay, I'm going to just throw some things your way about me ....about4-5 yrs ago I tripped over my daughters bycycle and landed full body weight 130lbs on the foot peddle while laying on its side .. YES, it took my breath away ,right away felt like an elephant was sity By on my chest it was and still is difficult to breath . The doctors at Northeast GA med. center said if I would have landed a half inch to the right or a half inch to the left I would have punchered my heart or my lung and could of been fatal. With that being said I never did a follow up and in the middle of my sternum there is a large knot that is raised slightly off my chest and is still sore to the touch and i find it hard to catch my breath specially when I'm mad, upset, angrey , stressed, over excited , nervous things of that nature . I also have the last time I checked about 3 yrs ago 2 herriond dics is in my neck and 4 in the lower part of my back with a hymangeoma. My legs swell up pretty bad from time to time and when I say bad I'm talking about Leaving 1/2 in. Deep tinger marks feels like there going to crack open they feel so full and it causes them to itch . I've had to go to the hospital several times because of it and they can't ever seem to figure it out so they just give me something to get the fluid off and check for clots . I've had several female surgeries , 8 to be exact between the ages of 19-24 not to mention I was given the news that I had skin cancer , basil cell . So , now that that's mostly out on the table and somewhat gives you a idea about me .... Here's what happened. I was cleaning up over at my dads house , sweeping actually when it first started . I had a very sharp pain in the lower left part of my back I tried to shrug it off but it just got worse . I thought kidneys at first cause lets not forget I have back problems already and this was a very different kind of pain one I'd never experienced before. This actually stopped me from continuing what I was doing and had to take a seat . I could feel my heart racing . The pain gradually climbed up my entire left side all the way into my face and with that came a numbing affect and tingling I also felt heavy but only on that side . The pain lasted , I want to say 20 or so minutes but im not sure . It was very strange I knew something most defiantly was wrong and the upper left hand part off my neck is still numb about an inch past my jaw line . I DONT KNOW ! Please help me with this I know I should of gone but I told myself couldn't be I was just over reacting I was to young . But I wish I would of gone to the hospital . This happened about 2-3 weeks ago . Please tell me what you think , and thank you so much for taking the time out of your busy lifestyle to read and hopefully answer back . Thanks , Michelle
