But when it continued for weeks, no matter what she ate, she consulted a cardiologist, who found nothing wrong. Reassured, she endured the discomfort another month, until a restless night last August sent her to the ER of her local hospital. An EKG and a cardiac enzyme test came up normal, but Kaley, 39, says she “couldn’t take it anymore.” A friend had scheduled an appointment with a gastroenterologist at NYU Langone Medical Center. Kaley drank a barium wash in preparation for an upper-GI series to look for signs of a possible hiatal hernia. Laughing one moment, the next Kaley fell into a chair by the bathroom door, her eyes fixed open, her skin quickly turning red . then blue . then purple.
