Scariest day of my life

It started out as any other day, slept most of the day trying to turn myself around for overnight shift.  Had a lovely dinner made by my oldest Mike then it started he stood up reached for a DVD from the shelf and I looked over at him and he was GREY, clutching his chest and said he didn't feel well and proceeded to fall to the floor.  I caught him in time before he crashed to the ground he kept saying his chest hurt like his heart was being squeezed tight and then his eyes rolled back in his head, he was sweating and said his left side was numb. 
I was trying so hard not to freak out as he pasted out for a second time and I had to remind him to breathe.  I had to call 911 and they hooked him up to a bunch of monitors and decided he needed to go into the hospital.  The pain had stopped by the time they took him but they still felt he need to be checked out.
They decided it wasn't a heart attack as we all thought, they x-rayed his heart and it was fine other than he needed to slow down on his smoking and needed to be put on anti-anxiety medication along with his bi-polar meds. 

I have never felt like I was going to loose a child before, but it felt so real and intense, I will never forget this night as long as I live.  I am going with him to his doctor's on Wednesday and explaining all the problems he is having so he gets the help he needs.  I don't want to loose him, I am suppose to go first!!
