Discovered something interesting over the weekend.
I've been feeling much better. Good enough to attempt a little video gaming over the weekend. How stressful could killing goblins be? Too stressful as it turns out.
I felt my chest tighten after only a few minutes. Naw...that's not possible. Maybe my heart rate is higher than I think. I put on my heart rate monitor. My resting heart rate is in the 50's. Gaming it was still under 60. Yet my chest tightened right up. I didn't take my blood pressure, but certainly it was a bit elevated. But how much could killing goblins sitting on my couch elevate it?
Enough.
Stress is definitely a factor. There's no question about that in my mind.
After all these years of being basically uptight and focusing on the negative could life be dealing me the ultimate lesson in relaxation and positive thinking?
Relax and be happy or get sick. Those are my choices it seems.
Here I am, the health nut, and whammo! Suddenly my lungs don't work. WTF? This is a chronicle of my drug-free recovery from whatever the hell this is...my ups and downs, my search for answers, my battles with the traditional medical biz. If you suffer from asthma or other breathing issues, I hope you'll find some information and inspiration in these postings. There can be recovery without steroids and bronchodialators!
