yeah, the two weeks prior i felt like absolute shit. i was literally on my knees before bed the saying 'if i die before i wake...' prayer. then last week my entire left side went numb when i was on the commuter train. i started to feel faint so i was just like 'fuck it' and got up and started like moving around in the aisle. i had my iPod on and i saw a few smirks while i was doinig it. afterwards, i realized i looked like i was straight out of the commercial. but, when i got to my girlfriends place, there was a sharp pain under my armpit on my side that would send a sharp pain up to the right side of my left pec. it was really crippling.
the doctor said the EEG didn't show anything and the x-ray showed the build up all around my chest that was causing my heart and lungs to become tender. when i asked what could be causing it -- since im only a week short of 24 -- he said it could be a number of things. firstly, i have 2 brain contusions from when i smashed my head off a side walk after passing out from a panic attack and i still get side effects from that. coupled with the fact that i was a QB in high school and my offensive line in football wasn't the greatest. i got three level 3 concussions while i played. he said it could be that there isn't enough bloodflow which can be remedied by exercising. there is a potential that my heart could have a whole in it, but he said if i felt better this week after taking the precautions he suggested, its unlikely.
so, its all good for now. which is nice.
