Health - 1 July 2006

I just got one this morning, the doctor was checking to see if I've had chicken pox before. I'm really sure I had it before when I was younger, but whatever. Anyways.. I don't like 'em. I took my first blood test when I was around 8 years old. It wasn't pretty. I was kicking and screaming, tears rolling down my face like crazy. I never ever wanted to take one again for the rest of my life. Today, it hurt a lot.. but I sat there and took it like a man. I'm a woman by the way. ¬_¬

A few weeks ago I got news of a transfer with my job to a new state.

Around the same time I've felt like somethings in my esophagus, my heart feels like it's skipping a beat about every 5 minutes and when I wake up (and stretch), I feel as if I'm going to faint if I continue with the stretch.

So I immediately stop the stretch, and my feelings return to normal (no tingling anywhere, just extreme lightheadedness if I continue with the stretch) and only in the morning.

I have a heartrate of about 75 bpm, my breathing is about 14 breaths per min. I workout (raising my heartrate to about 160) with no problems or pain.

I don't feel nervous, my blood pressure is normal, don't have difficulty swallowing, no nausea or pains anywhere. and I don't feel dizzy any time throughout the day.

I'm making an appointment to see the doc next week.

Any thoughts on what may be happening?
P.S. I'm also a light smoker (less than a pack a day). I know! I'm trying desperately to stop.

Also how do you accept you have a "mental condition" without feeling inferior?

My husband is diabetic and suspected of having kidney problems and he has been drinking lots of tea which worries me coz I heard tea are supposed to be diuretic so meaning they make your kidneys work harder? I really don't know. Anybody can advise me?
