SplitSoul posted:Called ambulance for chest tightness, palpitations and dizziness. ECG was fine, blood pressure and pulse elevated, but not emergency levels. Ambulance left. Two days later, dizziness and left arm buzzing, called ambulance again, same thing, blood sugar also fine, but opted for the ER this time. Got blood works, neurologic test (smile, touch nose, heel to knee, etc.), a COVID test, and wore a monitor for about six hours, nothing of note and also negative for COVID, although some dude in the room was running a fever and on oxygen and got wheeled off to the infectious disease ward, so that might change in the coming days, although I did my best to keep the mask on the whole time. If he was positive he'll definitely kill the unmasked fat lady in her 70s who had fallen down an escalator at the airport. Most of the staff didn't wear PPE or did so inconsistently. this was me last year, it was unchecked anxiety culminating in panic attacks. I was sitting on my PC just browsing whatever and it was like I got hit by this wave of dizziness and couldn’t stand hands going numb etc, Wife drove me to the ER, not saying that’s you but stress/anxiety and the full knowledge of everything going on can really gently caress you up. same for me so many tests ran nothing wrong, elevated BP would be expected during a panic attack. anyways upped my exercise and added lexapro been alot better.

Not only is it a way to bury google search results, it's also a way to be able to write-off anyone investigating "conspiracy theories" as being a QAnon-er

mystes posted:Why are there conventions during a loving pandemic? conventions usually have a contract with the hotel or the convention space that will host them, that means they have to run their convention the only relevant escape clause in this case, would be if the government declares that there's a crisis/disaster such that the convention cannot be run that generally hasn't happened across the US, because Open Er Up etc. if the organizers refuse to run the convention, then they're going to be penalized to the point that it's probably going to kill the convention as a business

Thanks for the kind words.

Been told to monitor it morning and evening, my BP and pulse is elevated even when I just woke up and not feeling the symptoms, but as the EMT pointed out that's a normal side-effect of Effexor. Gonna start taking more walks and have cut coffee completely for a while. So far it hasn't paid off. nexous posted:yeah that’s mine too. triggers a lot right after eating. eating certain things causes shooting pains in my left pec and arm I guess those nerves are connected or something. between that and the constant numbness in my face and neck from cervical fusion I’m convinced I’m having a stroke or heart attack like 90% of any given day Jesus, I'm sorry, that sounds really awful. I already had a lot of tools to deal with anxiety, but they're no longer useful apparently, if that's what it is. Weed used to help me keep a baseline of "alright", too. I'm gonna hate to give that up. SplitSoul fucked around with this message at 02:17 on Sep 13, 2021 |

Koirhor posted:i mean when asked if someone is overweight people imagine the average bloated american land whale but that extra 10lbs of beer gut is enough to do damage. I hate BMI, if you want to see how fat you are in a way that predicts the likelihood of your heart exploding try waist to hip ratio. larger than .9 means you're fat, above 1 is obese. Less than .8 is the opposite problem. example. your rear end is 40" so your waist better be 36" or less.
