That aside, I am disturbed. This is me trying to walk to the hospital earlier and this is me feeling like keeling over. (Thank heavens the shuttle driver saw my ponderous ass struggling uphill and stopped for me.) I was feeling a weird fluttery sensation in my chest, burning in my calves, and slightly lightheaded. Is this merely a, “you need to shape up, STAT,” message from my poor, overburdened carcass, or is this something I need to go to the doctor for? O__o I’m thinking I’m just overthinking because I’ve been spending too much time with these cardiac-related order sets.
The only reason I’m asking is because I still feel weird and it would really suck if I end up being one of the patients of the people I work with----considering where they work :)---at my fiery age full of flowering youth. (Why, yes, some sort of cardiovascular event at this stage would be pathetic. Seriously.)
That and a few years ago, my brother was having dyspnea on exertion. The ermats told him he was just fat (that’s a reasonable assumption) and a few weeks later they were seriously considering just getting him a pacemaker. :D
Maybe it’s just the not-sleeping-well taking its toll.
Watch the caffeine, you idiot. Waaatch it.
